Rummy's Corner: Top 50 Most Spectacular KOs

Regarding the part I put in bold, this is especially true if he maintains his recent activity rate.

And personally, even though I think Golovkin probably stops him in the middle rounds, I think him and Lee would make a great s****, and it would be interesting to see what happens if Andy found a way to land a couple of good right hooks.

 

Thanks for watching.

With the Geale fight quickly approaching, might be a good time to suffer a cut in training. I really think he should reconsider going through with that one.

 

Two quick points:

1. I'm not convinced that Ward can no longer make 168. In fact I highly doubt that to be true. I could be wrong, but I'd think that, rather, he is hedging his bets to see where the opportunities arise - north or south of 172.

2. I don't think Floyd-GGG does huge numbers compared to Floyd against any number of other fighters who are smaller than GGG and easier fights for Floyd. And relatively speaking, Ward and Golovkin are far closer to each other than anyone of the true cash cows in boxing.

 

All of those scenarios and their respective qualifiers make sense to me!

:thumbsup

 

I think he could have success at 168, too. But I don't think it's a shame in the sense that, if GGG keeps fighting and winning against the best willing available middleweights, an opportunity will eventually present itself. Until that time, he needs to stay the course and keep bringing excitement to the fans.

Very much so, and I think it's gotten progressively worse since the mid-90s - although maybe I was just naive and not noticing it as much at that time.

 

I don't agree with this. If they fight, I reckon Ward would probably be the A-side in negotiations and that GGG would probably bend to his will and fight in Oakland. In terms of actual accomplishment, Ward has done far more than GGG. Golovkin's best case to A-side is activity, and activity alone, as Ward's best 5 wins still trump any victories GGG has on his ledger.

Now it's conceivable that perception is shifting GGG's direction because of activity, but with Ward back in action soon, I think you'll see that HBO probably still views Ward as a bigger attraction.

 

Hey! I dedicated an entire episode being critical of Ward for putting any restrictions on a rematch with Froch!

 

I just read somewhere that Kathy Duva said she is negotiating with Rock Nation for a 2016 Ward vs Kovalev bout. Has anyone else heard or read this anywhere?

 

Appreciate the kind words, but my track record predicting fights suggests otherwise.

:good

 

And on top of all that, ring IQ (although GGG has a very high ring IQ in his own right).
