    Why does GGG want to fight PBF? Funny it's fine for PBF to move up and fight GGG but GGG can't move up to fight Ward. You GGG fans have no shame.

    Sounds like ward is jealous of the attention GGG is getting. I think ward beats GGG right now though.

    So jealous

    GGG- 400k last fight

    Ward- 2.1 million

    He's just calling GGG out on his bull****. And he's right.

    Just like Pre-Froch Lucien Bute, GGG has faced and defeated no one of real worth. Yet, he is being hyped up as some potential P4P leader.

    Andre Dirrell has much more talent than GGG and proved it by his performance in England against Froch. What Dirrell lacks is a fighter's heart, and I am very disappointed in not seeing him reach his potential.

    At this point, Andre Dirrell's meger resume is much greater than the current GGG resume.

    Has Ward got his contract sorted out yet?
    When will he be back in the ring?
    I'm sure Ward will be right there at ringside commentating GGG's fight on April 26th.

    Wow tons of trolling by haters, yet none can answer my simple questions.

    Ward talking trash, implying a duck when he and his team have made zero effort to actually land a fight just seems ridiculous. Honestly it comes across as sour grapes that GGG is getting higher TV ratings and more media attention even though Ward considers himself the better boxer.

    I usually like Ward, but hes just acting like a petulant child with this unless his team has actually tried to make a reasonable effort at a fight and was rebuffed by K2. But I have read nothing anywhere to suggest that is the case.

    Saying you will fight anyone from 154-175 and creating the perception that you are the most avoided fighter in the game is a great marketing ploy . . . it worked for Margocheato, and Pwill (who actually fought anyone between 147-160). However, if you make such boast you should be willing to back it up. I know he and his team are trying to angle for a Mayweather fight (who isn't) but now you have a fighter calling you out and you turn your tail and run? I think GGG is a great fighter but they should really look at repackaging him as the best MW on the planet or something.

    markets, money and amounts, how is this relevant to us as fans? I don't care about any of that and I'm not getting any percentages so why should there be this focus? I want to see good fights its why I watch the sport. The day that the sport is no longer relevant or exciting I will simply discontinue my premium channels on cable and like the rest of America no longer care as much for the sport. Its getting to the point where I an losing my affection for the game because of sheer boredom, the challenges and good fight aren't being made.

    Too much support on PPV FOR **** fights. Why should the fighters and promoters give you anymore than what you accept?

    Golovkin is not about to fight Ward anytime soon. I doubt it ever happens.

    Things will change. Or do you think HBO will keep paying Ward 2 million when they can pay Kovalev, Stevenson, GGG 400K and they make higher ratings than Ward?

    See above.

    Heres the thing - I favor Ward to bet GGG right now. But, unless his team has actually tried in some form to legit secure a fight how on earth can he be taken seriously accusing someone of ducking him who has been quite visibly seeking a shot at the championship in a different division?

    If Goossen/HBO came out and said " yeah we offered K2 a 50/50 split at MSG for April but they turned us down".. and fought Lee instead of Ward now THAT would be a duck. But thats not what happened. Nothing is what has happened, other than some backhanded insinuations.

    Golovkin's resume is dog ****.

    Froch, Hopkins, Bute, Pascal, Dawson, Stevens, Ward, Kessler, Martinez, Chavez - ALL have better resumes than Golovkin.

    Face the facts: Golovkin has done nothing other than crush TOMATO CANs..
