    “Some people ask me if [Golovkin] is a hype job. I think he is absolutely not. Anybody who becomes a silver medalist, anybody who comes from the amateur system that he came out of do not get that for not being a real deal. So I think he is the real deal in terms of his pedigree. But I do think that, you know, he gets a lot of passes on the media at this stage in his career without having fought the best. It is as simple as that. Other guys would not get that. (…) Sometimes, from other stand point there is extra hype. When you start hailing the guy this and that without having a resume is tough thing to do. That’s [true] for me. That's for him. That's for anybody. I think for anybody to get into the Hall of Fame or even to be called great – I do not think any of us is great right now - there are only handful of great fighters in this sport that are active. (…) None of us has done anything to be called great. You got to look at the resume. (…) But as far as his pedigree, he has got there for sure. A fight between me and him would be great,”


    That's actually really fair & balanced stuff from Ward.

    Sounds like something you would say before you face a hype job...

    lol did you really think he would say "yah hes a hypejob, I can't find any good money fights so I'm going to ruin the only potential one i can get"

    no of course hes gonna hype golovkin. He also works for HBO, and one of their main draws is GGG.

    Ward has gotten real diplomatic in his attempt to get GGG to sign on the dotted line.

    Should I expect you to snitch me off to the mods, crying harassment like you did with Freedom? At least have them check our IP addresses first but why should I expect any fair play from a floor punk like you?

    You really should spend more time at your nightclub. Employees at those places have especially sticky fingers. I would really hate to see a narcissist like you take a financial hit.
