Comments Thread For: Roach: I've Changed My Mind, Golovkin CAN'T Beat Andre Ward!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Los Angeles - For quite some time, Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach was predicting very big things for IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs). Roach made some bold predictions that Golovkin was capable of going to 168 and cleaning out the division, and even said GGG could rise all the way up to light heavyweight to beat unified champion Andre Ward (31-0, 15 KOs).

"...I don't think he will go up right now to fight very good boxers, because he was exposed a little bit with a boxer fighting from the southpaw stance."

Translation: "I doubt GGG wants that work from Lara!"

Before Jacobs, noone knew if a skilled boxer could go 12 rounds with Golovkin. Now we know its possible, its easier to imagine Ward going 12 and nicking enough rounds for an easy victory.

Like Jacobs, Ward is big enough to take anything Golovkin catches him with, so tend to agree with Roach here.

Not sure about Lara - sure, he can do the movement thing, but can he brush off getting caught. What we learned is that a big MW with skills can box him. Next question is can a small MW with skills box him.

Jacobs had enough of a 1-punch threat that Golovkin had to think his way in, and the foot movement to keep him resetting. Lara doesn't have that 1-punch threat.

Ward ? Depends on when Golovkin tasted it. If he felt he could barge in, it would turn into one of the ugliest fights imaginable.

This is exactly why Abel Sanchez told Ward "164 or no fight!"

In other news, Roach admits water is wet.

Hmm.. Could 3G beat a guy 2 weight divisions north and who doesn't want to fight anybody anyway? I'm going to put this one into the ''who gives a ****ass'' folder.

Are you high?

How many times has Ward offered Golovkin the fight?
