Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Won't Go Back to 168 for Golovkin or Anyone Else

NEW YORK Andre Ward doesn't know if he'll fight again after his rematch against with Sergey Kovalev, much less who he'd fight. But if the 33-year-old Ward does return to the ring following their light heavyweight championship rematch June 17 in Las Vegas, he won't move back down to the super middleweight division not even for a showdown with middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin. Ward was asked Monday about comments made recently by his trainer, Virgil Hunter, who told a reporter for a YouTube channel that Ward would be able to make 168 pounds again for a long-discussed fight against Golovkin.

Like Canelo, Ward can't keep his Story Straight

If it's ggg and his trainer, Ward fans jump all over making **** up.

Loeffler said discuss it early 2017, Ward wanted mid to late 2016. Now Ward is saying they wanted 3 years.

Ward is a cheating azz fraud.

[BrometheusBob.]

Not a surprise really. At this point Ward is not a small LHW afaik. I doubt he could make 168 comfortably.

[DonutHunter]

Ward is cashing out, he's gonna school Kovalev and ride off into the sunset.

[BoxingFan85]

Yep.. he has grown into full fledge 175 lber.. it would be hard to make 168 all over again.. it's do-able but not sure he would be healthy making that weight

[vaynardevil]

not going to happen then
golovkin moves up to 175 vs ward = suicide

[j.razor]

Not to stir the pot...but could you imagine if abel sanchez said some **** that contradicted ggg the way hunter did with ward? There would be haters blowing their loads all over the place.

And then Ward says,"Sike!" Let's fight!

[Shadoww702]

Clear duck.


Ward not willing to make concessions.

??? Duck the smaller lil brother to fight the much Bigger, MEANER brother???

You just invented a new word for ******...Now all we have to do is get a "Headshot" of you and put it in the dictionary under FULL Rtard!

This makes sense, I believe him when he says that 175 isn't easy for him to make. He's relatively tall, old, and muscled.

We'll probably never get Golovkin Ward. I think that would be a hard one for Golovkin to win personally, but would have loved to see it.

Both fan bases can continue to to claim one avoided the other, but it's not really true.

Ward was asked if he would fight Golovkin next, after a long layover, and he said no. That's not unreasonable. To go from no fights to a top p4p would be pretty brutal.

Ward instead offered to fight in a year and a half with 2 interim fights (same thing he did with Kovalev). And Golovkin said no, which isn't unreasonable either. Golovkin doesn't have to move up weight and give up 2 middleweight belts (and a chance to fight Canelo or Floyd) just to meet Wards demands.

They both made reasonable decisions about their career paths, and a fight was never really that close. Honestly their fan bases are both wrong to insist one ducked the other.

in before the tards arrive to deny Golovkin ducked Ward
