Ward had a choice to make, either go up or down. people said he would never fight Kovalev, at the time it was thought he might fight GGG to avoid KOvalev. Remember that? If your Ward, you are not going to destroy the last twilight of your career by dropping then putting on weight, you choose a direction, at this time Kovalev was thought to be a much bigger threat that GGG, still is thought to be so really. SO WARD WENT UP! Knowing he had Barrera, then Kovalev in the horizon and that he would not have to struggle to make weight. Ward could not have stayed at middle weight and catch weight fights are BS after he beat GGG which he would have done rather easily he would get the same BS they gave him when he beat the best fighter (so called) pound for pound (Dawson): "oh GGG was not at his weight", yada yada yada. Kovalev could make a lot less excuses in the final analysis. There is no way ggg could ever touch Ward unless ward became less than able for external reasons, Ward has dimensions to his game that GGG does not have, like an inside game, like setting traps for guys that chase a puncher, etc. GGG is dangerous because he has endurance and can hit with either hand and has great power. I think he is also an excellent defensive fighter. But Ward is more accurate, is also amidexesterious, can hit with power when he has an opportunity, can fight at all ranges, and is a great defensive fighter. But the real difference is that which separates man o war from a fast horse: Ward can make adjustments in the ring. The geat ones can. Last edited by billeau2; 09-17-2017 at 11:06 AM. |

You say 164 is too low for Ward. I believe Ward himself said during that time 'I walk around at 180. 16 lbs isnt too much to lose ' (paraphrase). At the end of the day, the 160 lb champ wanted to fight the 168 champ right in the middle. The 168 champ wanted tune ups instead. End of story |

Didn't Ward send GGG an email offer for a 2016 fight at 168? So, I don't want to hear about weight, or Kovalev, or any of that. Just excuses |

Why are ya'll ragging on dude(GGG)? He was robbed less than 12 hours ago. All that would of been left was Saunders. That could of been December. He did his part and won. He has a terrible setback from his goals, not yours. Fuk Ward. You work so hard and get robbed and it changes everything. How do you [email protected]@as hate someone who just want to unify all the belts? Now he has to wait on that red headed Irishman who traveled to Mexico with his Rosetta Stone (Spanish) on level 5. I'm black and I hope he whoops Canelo(again) and Ward. Trying to find someone bigger to beat him just so he can have a L. Fuk That and fuk Ward.

I have to laugh at these Ward load-garglers who insist that a 5'10" average size MW needed to move up to fight a 6'1" LHW. Yet, at the same time they insist that GGG was too big for Floyd when he offered to move down to 154. Te difference in size is comparable, yet the Ward/Floyd apologists love that double standard.
What you still don't get is that GGG is the bigger star than Ward. He doesn't need him, nor does he need to make any concessions to fight him. Ward postured as though he wanted a fight at 165, but he wasn't about to put himself in Dawson's disadvantaged shoes when he drained down meet Ward. Andre Ward will gain every advantage he can, and built his name on that over-hyped 168 tournament. If you try to set your bias aside, GGG doesn't belong in the ring with Ward any more than he does with Floyd. |

But you can say whatever the hell you want, its a fantasy matchup, acting like golovkin literally stands no chance is far too stupid though, but do what you want. |

Golovkin has yet to prove himself. A draw and a close win vs 2 guys he was expected to KO, but wound up proving when you get in with guys B level or more, you look ordinary. He and HBO have fooled most of you here, but I've never bought his bullsh1t. |

Ward had been out for years...and he shouldn't get a tune up first? Golovkin was about to fight lemieux next remember? So really time wouldn't have been an issue right? |
