Boxing Expert Dan Rafael: "HBO is hesitant to make GGG-Ward"

damn they know the drill.

GGG should take that fight in a heartbeat. Irish Andre Ward is packing some mean glass.

 

Why would you want to risk it? Ward is a complete ****** on the grand scale of things who thinks hes bigger than the game it's self. Until he fights out of his club house he shouldnt be considered. GGG is a euro who came over and has made fans based off of a fan friendly fight style. Hell, GGG hasnt even fought anyone huge yet and I know casuals who are well aware of him.
Until Ward wants to build his name into something bigger than a 12 round snooze bomb (and before Im jumped all over for that, I enjoy boxers, I love Rigo and dont think hes boring, ward just straight up sucks to watch) and take bigger fights than la bomba, or chad dawson, then screw the guy. He started off his career right, but hes stay at home.

If ward ever decides to fight again, he should give froch a rematch, and he should do it in the very least the staples center, or hell go to the garden and see how big his hometown popularity transfers over. My guess is if the rematch did happen you would be hearing a 95-5 Pro Froch crowd.

Have em fight in a year or something if wards more active.

 

This is a horrific fight for GGG, especially as his first fight at Super Middleweight. He's better off fighting others rather than risking it all against Ward. Ward isn't even hyped well enough despite all his big victories(thanks to his crap promoter) which should make skipping a fight with him unnoticeable.

 

This kinda thing is what is killing boxing...it shouldn't matter if a fighter loses once in awhile. Big deal...Ward- Golovkin is a good fight that won't get made. It's too bad the fans won't support fighters who take the chances and make the fights.

 

Probably has to do with Ward's style also usually makes for ugly boring fights.

 

I still think GGG wins. Ward can't clinch his way to victory against Gennady. It could possibly go the distance but I doubt it.

GGG and Kovalev look like the future stars of HBO. They would feed Ward to Kovalev without hesitation.

 

Boxing politics getting in the way of a good fight.

 

Ward can fight at all ranges with a high ring IQ and great defense. He would fight him on the inside no doubt but all ranges would be game in that fight.

 

If Ward cannot get a fight at 168, he should step up to his natural weight and fight Kovalev.

 

I think this may be the first time anybody online has referred to Dan Rafael as a "Boxing expert".

Andre Ward is hardly even an active fighter anymore. He made Dawson move down to 168 for a fight. Why doesn't Ward have to go to 160 or a catchweight to make a GGG fight?

When will HBO realize that most fans don't care much about Andre Ward? He gets mentioned all the time on their telecasts, but I'd much rather see GGG, Provodnikov, Kovalev, and others before Ward.

 

The newbie here knows his stuff...

NOT.

Ward beats the dog **** out of Triple Duck - which is EXACTLY the reason why HBO doesn't want to make this fight.

Golovkin = J O K E

 

Ward should fight someone his own size like Kovalev
