I have no problem disagreeing on opinions. Do I believe Golovkin could have made a fight with Ward, almost certainly. Do I believe it made an ounce of sense in any way not a chance. Maybe in 2012 when he didn't have tons of great options but not in 2015. Do I think it is entirely plausible that Ward was throwing some cover for Cotto absolutely. Also he was basically a non factor in boxing for the last couple of years, who else you going to call out at that time who gets you more publicity? Also kills the narrative that Ward didn't want to fight Golovkin.
I don't believe anyone ducked anyone. I don't think guys in different divisions can duck each other. In a different world I can imagine a fight happening but not with Golovkin's inability to get bigger fights earlier in his career.
Of course there is BS and over the top statements by boxers and their handlers. Not denying it. I actually don't think Golovkin would have had a bit of fear fighting Ward. Nor would Ward have feared him. I don't think Canelo was the one who didn't want to fight Golovkin, I think that was all GBP. I think Canelo is less interested in the rematch than he was in the first fight. On the opposite end GBP seems more interested in the second fight than the first fight.
Differences of opinions are part of the fun of these forums but I don't play well with haters when they start making up BS. When someone starts contradicting know facts you better present some source than just you got it all figured out and eveyone is lying.
I got my red because there are a lot of haters on here and when they start attacking I hit back harder. No fighter is perfect and no one is above criticism and discussion. So while I may be a fan of Golovkin and many fighters across all racial and ethnic backgrounds I'm not one who is going to sacrifice my fandom for intellectual honesty.
By the way I posted earlier tonight that if the 1.3MM PPV number is accurate that is a bit disappointing to me and I have a say about both Golovkin and canelo and what it means and it isn't all that positive.
