What has GGG done to demand the fight? Get out and fight some of the best fighters. Unify. Do anything and the fight will come around. Or instead do what he is doing, waste his career fighting 154 pounders that are outside the top 10.
How many contracts has Ward's team sent to team GGG? GGG doesn't want that fight...according to Ward. Send the paperwork and see who wants what. I guess there's always the risk that GGG actually accepts the fight and Ward won't be able to talk his way out of it.
All Stevenson's wins came against fighters coming off losses except Bellew who did lose his last meaningful fight. Claiming Stevenson has done a lot more than Golovkin is wildly innacurate. Your claim of similarities between Martinez-Golovkin and Kovalev-Stevenson also seems elusive to me. Your posts are normally quite solid but you went off the deep end with that one.
what makes anyone think ggg can bring his power down to 154 or up to 168? there would be much better competition at those weights but he is untested. i think ggg vs canelo at 154 would be a very good test, ggg vs chavez jr at 168 another good test, either of those fights would be good before throwing him to the wolves.
Ward will not fight Kovalev or Stevenson. If Ward is so good and weight divisions do not mean anything, then why doesn't Ward fight Klitschko?! Ward has not even answered Stevenson's callout...............
Do you actually believe that? GGG is hyped as a monster in sparring. Supposedly dropping world ranked cruiserweights, and now Kovalev? With headgear and 16 oz gloves on? yet took him a million punches to stop Stevens and a smaller man like Rosado.
Good post. Ward's not made any fuss about GGG just kinda simply said yeah he's doing his thing but what's it got to do with me? There's no fight on the table or even in the pipeline so why do I keep being asked? He's just been quite selectively quoted. As you say, whilst GGGs had a very good year in terms of exposure both Stevenson and Kovalev have the same stats, just against guys higher in their division. Technically their overall opposition has been of similar calibre but in terms of the rankings and signature win (in Dawson) Stevenson probably edges it.
He did. This was a few years back up at the summit, Kovalev had just come back to camp after a holiday in Russia and GGG was fight-ready though. Kovalev says he had to take a knee after a shot to the solar plexus, but seems a little puzzled by the attention it's got. Says they had a number of good sessions together - respects Golovkin as a man and a fighter. http://kovalboxer.com/en/interview/text/182--l-r.html Not to put to fine a point on it these kinda 'such and such was dropped in sparring' stories mean very little. Guys can be at different levels of preparedness, be trying out different styles and techniques, or simply take a knee in sparring cos they can, when in an actual pro bout they'd just soldier through the discomfort.
