Bernard Hopkins dares Golovkin "Do what I did w/Tarver! 160 to 175"

What do you mean when they move on to bigger better things? You mean continue to duck GGG? I know you all love people ducking that beast so you can continue to slam his resume when you know deep down this guys can NOT beat him.
If you truly feel that GGG offering the smaller drawing Ward a 50/50 money/weight split is a "rediculous demand", we'll have to agree to disagree. Two guys fighting for the middleweight title shouldn't have to fight GGG, but Golovkin is a ducker for not fighting Ward in a weight division he's never competed in?? Sounds like someone has s hateful agenda.
After GGG KO's Lemuiex and adds the WBC, Ward will be the one with sh!tty options. Kill himself to make 160 for a big payday vs megastar GGG, stay at 168 for nobody or go up to 175 and get "KRUSHED". I really thing Ward overvalued himself and missed out by not taking K-2's offer.

 

Hopkins was a "mere titlist" for about 6 or 7 years before he became undisputed.

Golovkin is doing EXACTLY what Hopkins did.
Hopkins stayed at middleweight for years and years fighting forgettable challengers.
He went up to 175 when he could no longer be the man at 160.

 

They dont make them like that anymore.

 

I think the question which needs to be asked is; Exactly WHO has Bumlovkin beaten?

Ward's resume takes a HUGE dump on Bumlovkin's.

Facts. Learn to live with them...

 

Exactly. The Bumlovkin crowd have no problem with a Mayweather Bumlovkin fight but don't see the logic in the Triple Duck going up to 168 to actually fight a guy who is closer to his own size. The sound of their hypocrisy is deafening...

 

The catchweight was Alvarez' idea, Genius...

 

Hopkins' resume @ 160 prior to the Trinidad fight takes a HUGE dump on Bumlovkin's...

 

I think you meant that Golovkin is willing to meet either Floyd or Ward halfway in weight, so GGG should be commended for trying, but unfortunately both of those guys want none of him and his earth shaking power.
The only hypocrisy is fgt's like you claiming it's unfair for GGG to drop 6 lbs because he's still to big for Floyd, but Ward can't drop 4 to meet Gennady halfway because that is somehow unfair to Ward.

 

So why was Bumlovkin ok with 168lbs in the case of Chavez and Froch but needs a 164lb catchweight for Ward?

 

As I've said before, I hate catchweights.

I believe GGG's team is asking for the catchweight vs Ward because he is that much better than Froch and Chavez and getting any weight advantage would be helpful. Also, Ward is not nearly as big of a draw as the other two are so Team Golovkin probably feels they have more negotiating power.

Again, I see no need for catchweight fights. There is a reason there are weight classes to begin with and there are A LOT of weight classes anyway. No fighter should be allowed to make these types of weight stipulations.

 

Good points. Since GGG is the bigger draw perhaps Ward should come down to 160 or stfu.

 

Because Ward is a lesser draw and better fighter than those guys. How many times do you need that answered? Do you have a learning disability?

 

How is Bumlovkin the "A" side when Ward cashes bigger paychecks?

 

IOW, Bumlovkin doesn't want to fight anyone @ 168 who isn't old or a joke....
