I just want to see how people feel about these comments

[Real King Kong]

From Ward in 2013:

"As for me and Golovkin, look at my body of work. I'll fight anyone out there. But look at his body of work and look at mine. There is no comparison. I fought the last three years with no break. I've been in grind mode. Let him build up his resume, get a body of work first, then we can talk."

For the record, Ward's next 4 fights after those comments were vs Rodriguez Brand Smith and Barrera.

In any event I don't really see how anyone can spin those comments from Ward into him wanting the fight with GGG, and then GGG somehow not wanting it at or around that time.

We know HBO reportedly sat Ward and GGG down in 2013 and GGG said he wanted the fight and Ward said he needed more time with his shoulder and promoter issues.

I'm hoping everyone will just say 'ok looks like Ward didn't want the fight with GGG around 2013.' But I'm too cynical to think some will admit to that 😁😁

I’d need to see the context. He could just talking about comparing him to ggg.

Fair enough...I think it's clear enough but can't fault you for wanting to see the evidence:

SI:You are going to be working the broadcast for the Golovkin fight. He's also mentioned as a possible opponent for you. Thoughts?

AW: It's an interesting fight. You have a guy in Golovkin who has the push to win and look good doing it. It's a victory for Rosado if he just looks good in the fight. I assume Golovkin is going to pull it off, a lot based on the amateur pedigree and his experience in the pros. Rosado is not as defensively responsible as he could be.

Always good practice to provide a link...unless you’re a circus clown like mcc who says his threads are for people “in the know” so he doesn’t need to provide sources.

I've seen you say that before and have no real reason to doubt you...but do you have proof of that? Bolded portion

don't know where exactly it is now but im sure there are old threads with all that info. it was great stuff with goosen saying ward refused to fight all the fighters hbo wanted and he wanted to fight guys like dmitri sartison and caleb truax lol.

[daggum]

Ward was having legal problems because of ggg? Dumb even for you.
Ggg approved 168 for Ward? Flat out LIE!

Brooke rated #1 at welter? Not anywhere outside the British Isles.

Epic fail and ****** too.

ward wanted easy fights. hbo rejected those easy fights and wanted him to fight guys like ggg and bute. just google ward vs sartison and you will have your answer. "Ward’s management had a deal made with Sartison’s team, but they were unable to go ahead with it after HBO rejected the fight. What’s surprising is that Ward’s promoter made the effort to put the Sartison fight together, because it’s been common knowledge that HBO wasn’t interested in televising the Ward-Sartison fight." meanwhile we know what ward was saying about bute "he has to prove himself" he's a bullsh-itter who wanted easy fights. you can't explain away that hypocrisy.

please do some research. wards legal problems were because of his refusal to fight good figthers like bute and ggg. its well documented those fights were on the table for him and yet he went for sartison. hbo said no, fight the guys we want, ward refused and thats when he tried to get out of his promotional agreement. goosen backed hbo in court saying many good fights were offered and ward turned them all down. wards claim was that no fights were being offered/approved for him and that was a violation but it wasn't true at all and thats why he lost. he just didnt like the fights that were being offered/approved.




like i said he was #1. you dont know anything. change your name please.

Lol...btw I didn't mean 'clear enough' as in you should have known without the added context...I meant 'clear enough' as in I think it was clear enough, with the context I then provided, that Ward was talking about fighting GGG...but I was putting it out there for you to decide.

But yes when I posted this thread perhaps I was channeling my inner MCC

Wow if true, that is actually really really damning...but I'm sure those who hate on GGG and by virtue of that, love Ward...would find a way to spin that as well.

Would love to see that if you ever come across it.

Honestly Ward losing 3 times against his promoter in court should tell any reasonable person all you need to know about him...that he is a dude who thinks he can do/say whatever he wants, and that people will believe it, even when there is no factual basis behind it.

How else do you explain going to court 3 times to sue your promoter to get out of a contract, and losing all 3 times? If GGG did some sh.it like that and there was similar stuff mentioned about him in court...I would think he was kind of a clown too.

I don't think anyone is being too hard on Ward for that stuff he always said/tried to pull.

Yea, I could have surmised that’s what he was talking about, but it could also be read in the other context.

[TheMyspaceDayz]

i don't know sht??? I got $100 that Wilder beats Fury. AND loser walks! That goes for shtboxin1013.

Boom.

You’re lucky my prediction hadn’t yet evolved into what it eventually did because I’d have taken you up on your bet. Someone with a similar name must have threatened to fight me unless you did it in another thread. Still half right though.
