One thing about Andre "CoWard"

[Beercules]

Yes.. Ward is TBE




Who the *** is this Floyd guy trying to copy Dre?

Floyd wants to be Ward so bad its pathetic.

[Robbie Barrett]

Bull sh it. Read the La Times article on the subject.

Furthermore, the counter offer from Ward was after Lemieux fight was signed. Add to that, GGG was expecting Cotto-Canelo winner to honor his mandatory status. Like Loeffler said then, If Ward can make 168 in 2017, then it's a possibility

Who did Golovkin go on to fight at the beginning of 2016 instead of Ward? Wade......... near enough in name for Golovkin fans.

"We made him an offer, prior quite frankly, to knowing about the fight with Lemieux. But regardless of that fight, the offer was very, very clear - that he and Andre would both have one fight before they fought each other, and they would fight each other sometime in the first half of 2016. So obviously the fight with Lemieux would continue to move forward and the next fight would be Andre in 2016."

You're right. It was one tune up in 2016, according to Loeffler in the LA Times. But remember, the offer was made in July 2015. Was Andre not supposed to fight Rohan Murdoch, then that other white boy he ended up fighting (after NSAC rejected Murdoch) on the Cotto-Canelo card? Or did he already know he was going to be injured?

You know that was after Ward sent his offer and Loeffler turned it down. Loeffler even admitted "164 50/50 split" was never an offer made but was just something he mentioned to Rafael in an interview.

You do know Wade was an IBF mandatory right? Or maybe GGG should have given his belt away to avoid a mandatory like Canelo?

The point is here, that Golovkin did in fact make an offer to Ward, which flies in the face of the lie told by Cobra. Cobra said Ward sought out GGG, when in fact, it was GGG that sought Ward. That's the context of this thread here

GGG fans complain no one wants to fight him then complain when Ward wants to fight him

Nobody takes the 164 offer serious. What Cobra is saying is they never officially made the offer to Ward only mentioned it in the media.

In fact it's a low for Golovkin, he was willing to fight others at 168. You're trying to turn it in to a positive and it's not going to work, it was a bitch move and not a serious offer.

A b itch move is not being willing to meet a smaller fighter halfway. A b itch move is wanting to wait a year and have tune ups before dragging a smaller man up to your full weight class. A b itch move is expecting the same offer as a man who's ass you've already beaten. That's b itch moves

[daggum]

ggg was wbc mandatory. ward knew ggg would never sign to fight him and thats why he included the tune up. no one ever calls out ward for that bullsh-it. "ward was ready to fight" lol! not really. if he was ready to fight he offers to fight right now not in the same exact period as ggg is planning to have a huge fight. the first half of 2016...aka when ggg was plannign to fight for the wbc belt since he had been mandatory for a year and the wbc had already given cotto an optional. people trying to revise history since the figth that should have happened didn't but we only found out these events long after ward's "offer" and 50-50 lmao

Are we forgetting Golovkin wasn't willing to do a catch weight for Brook and dragged him up to the full 160?

Are we forgetting "the smaller man" was trying to make fights at 168 but asked for 164 against Ward.

Are we forgetting that Golovkin promoted himself by saying he'd fight ANYONE from 154-168?

The 164 offer was a duck, clear as day, sad that you'd even try to bring it up as a genuine offer.
