Golovkins team: Becoming undisputed isnt a priority

Again, Golovkin's team agreed to the 168 in the end. Read the link. It's Ward that decided to move up and never come back.

 

ward is not worthy of GGG to take risk. it is not for GGG to be afraid of him. it is because that he cannot bring enough money the same as the risk to take.

 

Because:

1) Froch brings in a bargeload of money.
2) Chavez brings in a bargeload of money.
3) Ward brings in relative peanuts and Golovkin would be doing the heavy lifting.

In any case the point is moot since GGG's team agreed to the 168 weight in the end at a date which would have already happened.

 

LHW has 4-5 great champion suddenly after ward retire. at the time of ward retirement, beterbiev is his compulsory challenger in IBF. but he retired. why he dont go on his philosophy of boxing to fight the best. not just beterbiev, there are bivol still. recently he want to return, but want to fight the weakest HW champion rather than stay in the more dangerous LHW. what he did is not better than GGG too much. At least GGG still aim to clean up MW division after his latest fight.

 

Since I'm in such a good mood and feel sorry for the way you've completely embarrassed yourself in this thread with your willful ignorance whilst shooting yourself in the foot, I will give you a concession and concede that GGG most likely wasn't overly keen at fighting Ward during that stage of his career. Since his priority at the time was either to land himself one of the grand names in either Froch, Cotto or Mayweather and if not that focus on collecting the belts in the middleweight division

However it is severely dishonest to pretend he went out of his way to duck Ward who never offered serious terms which were realistic.

Before he retired, GGG and his team were available and with Ward coming off a big fight victory against Kovalev, and would have been far more willing to discuss a fight with Ward since it would have been so big in comparison to the earlier stage.

When the question was then put in front of your invincible Idol, who's supposedly afraid of no one, he flat out said he wasn't interested and later declared that he didn't want to fight no more even though months prior he was stating that he was in the best ever shape of his career.

 

It's funny how Saunders signed a contract to fight GGG, offered two fight dates this year, and Sanchez said he doesn't want Saunders, yet it's Saunders who is ducking GGG because of some comments he made years ago.

The most annoying thing about Golovkin is he blatantly put in no effort to face challenging opposition.

 

Ward didnt rule a division completely as GGG now have done. he has the talent obviously. but that is not enough to define him as the GOAT like the type of GGG in MW division. his win twice over kavolev is full of controversy. That is an shame not an glory both for the winner and loser. if he want to prove himself, he should fight again with kavolev in a fair and clean game rule. If he want dominate both the MW and LHW divisions, he should fight on with beterbiev and bivol. Remenber, those guys have similar age with Ward. Ward is born in 1983. Now is not over the prime time totally.

Very accurate & honest post!

 

Golovkin bum boys still argue to this day why he shouldn't have fought Ward.

He wanted Cotto , he had to fight Lemieux , not enough money , his focus was on Canelo , he wants #allthebelts..

They peddle non-stop arguments to justify Golovkin not taking the fight.

Ward fans i.e the purveyors of truth and reality never made any excuses or came up with any reason why Ward shouldn't have't fought Golovkin. They wanted to see that fight as much as Ward wanted to take it.

Lets debunk the money issue.

Kovalev made $2m against Ward first time. Thats the same sum Golovkin made against Lemieux on PPV.
His highest pay day outside Canelo and Sky BO money was just $2.5m against Jacobs.

Since Golovkin is a much bigger draw than Krusher , its pretty obvious that GGG vs Ward would have brought in way more money than Lemieix and Jacobs , and Ward vs Kovavev.
The money was there , along with a career and legacy defining fight that would have made him a two weight world champ and a consensus P4P ATG had he won.

But he sent Ward away with his get out clause of a 164 pound catch weight and went and fought non-ranked bum Wade , welter weight Brook and Danny Jacobs instead , while Ward went and took on the biggest boggeyman in the division up at 175.

But it was Ward who didn't want the fight though

Gennady Golovkin - i bring you daytime drama show .

 

GGG got $5m for Brook's fight + PPV.
Carl Froch said no. Felix Sturm said no. Sergio Martinez said no. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. said no. And Quillin, Eubank Jr.
I admit Ward is a big task for GGG. But GGG dont need Ward. It's Ward after seeing GGG's match and ask for his promoter to call and fight with GGG.
Remenber, 164 is also a catch weight between Canelo and Chavez Jr. with layoff nearly 2 years.
Meanwhile, Hagler stay at 160 in the whole pro carreer. Nobody criticized him. Why GGG need to go to 168? He is a small boxer, only 177cm.
