    Yes GGG is always happy to share his knowledge and help where he can which is just one of the reasons he was not only very popular with fans across the globe but his fellow fighters too. Many of Dre's former opponents just don't like him and I recall one heartwarming moment when Mexican fans from Dre's home state California roundly boo'd him. He's just not a likeable person at all.

    There was no boxing level differential between the feather fisted light heavyweight Ward and the sledgehammer fisted middleweight Golovkin.

    Last word on that is Golovkin caving to Ward's demand to fight at 168 and Ward then refusing to face GGG. If Ward thought he could win it he would have taken it.

    My friend Lance I thought you would like this one from the promoters handbook. Glad you have a sense of humour.

    I love Andre Ward. I met him in 2012. A proper gentleman. Great fighter.

    Sparring with Floyd might enhance your skills does not mean you schooled him. Sparring is sparring that does not count even if it did happen which I doubt.

    I know you think you are a fact checker but even your clip shows it was the right hand that put Dre down and it was not in the 1st round actually it was in the 2nd round. Go check your facts and correct it. I did not say Ward dropped Kovalev in the first fight rather I Ward worked him out and started to drain him with body shots. As Virgil Hunter said to Ward in the corner, "Ali got up, SRR got up, Leonard got up and Dre got up, you are great, we know what we came for". Only the grear ones can do that.

    “I’m not going to 68, that’s out,” said Ward

    Why would he move back down after he moved to 175 pounds. Kings don’t chase peasants which is what Lil g is compared to Ward. The time for Lil g to move up is when Ward was champion at 168 pounds but unfortunately Lil g did not have the cojones but when Ward leaves the division having outgrown Lil g then mouthed off. If he wanted it he could have asked SOG for a fight at 175 but we know Lil g is not made that way.

    So you admit that Ward did not want the fight at 168?

    Thank you.

    That is all.

    I most definitely don't consider myself a fact checker because fact checkers are the biggest liars. I do, however, consider myself a truth teller and my mother tongue is speaking truth to power.

    I'm talking about Kovalev dropping Dre in the first fight not the first round. Hence the part about Dre's judges robbing Kovalev

    Apologies, I misread your post. I thought you said Dre dropped Kovalev. Easily done given the amount of nonsense you spew :lol:

    The most telling thing about that KD was the inferior boxer Dre tried to counter Kovalev and ended up getting dropped. Dre was usually very reluctant to enter into an honest exchange because it would leave him open to getting caught with a counter. Hence why he perfected that cowardly fire off a quick lead and then immediately lunge in and grab a hold of you like an octopus style before you could catch him with a counter and the various other illegal tactics he relied on to avoid getting hit.


    Here he is almost getting KO'd by a trucker when entering into an honest exchange

    Imagine that was one of GGG's bombs


    Here's Dre getting wobbled and hurt by a Kovalev jab

    https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CQoUKkzhuPs

    No Dre's home judges robbed Kovalev blind. Everyone knows that. There's a reason why Dre refused to allow a single neutral judge for the rematch, something I've never seen another fighter do. Dre feared a level playing field almost as much as he feared an honest exchange and travelling to his opponent's backyard :lol:

    No that’s not what I said . Ward wanted to kick the Pendejo’s ass but once he moved up in weight he won’t come and quite frankly why would he.

    But it most definitely did happen and there are numerous reputable sources who have confirmed it and even seen it with their own eyes

    Fighters go up and down in weight all the time. Golovkin went up at 40 y/o to fight the #1 168 guy and is going to go back down to 160 to defend his belts again. Bivol has just offered to meet Canelo at 168 and he's going to go back up to 175 for Beterbiev once he's done.

    It's only lame-ass, Droopy Dawg Ward that finds it impossible to go back to a division that he spent most of his life in, for a megafight that he insisted shoudl be at 168 in the first place.

    Ward ducked the fight, end of.
