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

Are you high?

How many times has Ward offered Golovkin the fight?

If you believe everyone, then they've both been guilty of making it not happen. As it stands there is 15 lbs of difference on weigh in day and I can't see who is going to budge. Golovkin would be a very small LHW.

Well according to their own camps, Golovkin apparently wants to move to 168, and Ward would move back down to 168 to fight him.

3G is only moving after he gets Saunders' WBO belt and Ward will probably have hung up his gloves by then. Ward would have beaten him comfortably but boringly, I feel.

This **** is funny...A fighter fights a top guy and all of a sudden he was exposed what the **** is wrong with today's analysts and so called experts. He didn't fight a ****ing cupcake, he fought a legit top flight champion who could crack just as well as him, someone who wasn't intimidated by his power because he could dish it himself, lemieux is all of a sudden a killer because he beat a lower b level fighter but when he stepped up and got jabbed to death and beat up he was a washed up fighter. The greatest fighters have all fought tough opposition and weren't berated the way GGG has been... It's good to know ppl feel he lost something because all he does is put on exciting fights and always wins... How can no one like that..A ****er who likes to engage and he's also a technical fighter if he wants to be...Has he slowed down a little , yea maybe but he is also 35 and 4-5 years ago when he was calling for these big fights no one dared to step up instead there were excuses thrown about he isnt worth the low reward high risk now that he is in the phase of his career were boxers usually slow down now everyone has an opinion, case being Billy Joel saunders who has held that title for two years and hasn't fought one legit contender but has the audacity to give a deadline like he is the one calling shots but just over a year ago he made himself look soft as **** by saying he wasn't ready for GGG now all of a sudden he saw Jacobs box and nearly win he feels he gonna do the same, the question is can you take the pressure and power like Jacobs did...Can he run for 12 rounds without getting caught ,I highly doubt it...

dont think canelos size and weight advantage over ggg amounts to any in ring advantage. i agree about ward tho i think ward beats golovkin tho.

Size??? Canelo is under 5' 8" While GGG is over 6'???

[vaynardevil]

i think golovkin trouble against boxer is because of his slow handspeed
ward could nullify him easily with his size, 75-25 ward decision

Just noticed the listing of the IBO belt? Wtf is the IBO?

This reminds me of the randomness that occurred with Top Rank pumping up the WBO belt. Neither is a credible belt. Just look at the history of WBO champions. Pure marketing garbage.

Just keeping it real, GGG wasn't calling out anybody 4-5 years ago. He was fighting guys like Rosado. The first belt he won that wasn't vacant was against Lemieux. I like the guy and his ability, but don't make **** up to support a narrative that's not true. His name really started ringing bells after the Geale fight 3 years ago. He was 32.

Yes, Canelo ducked him. Yes, GGG didn't want anything to do with Ward. Will he beat Saunders?Absolutely, but we all know Saunders is ****.

His resume is still wanting for more, and the Jacobs fight didn't do anything to support the legendary tag the boxing world is trying to bestow on him. We need a little more. Hopefully that comes with a TKO of Alvarez soon.

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.

That's an extreme exaggeration, Ward has always been the favorite to beat GGG
