    im not against it cafe...if floyd wants to take the fight im all for it....its fine with me....just dont think people should be making fun of him if he has no interest...im not against the fight itself....thats what people like you fail to understand...im not against certain things...i just dont think you need to call fighters names and make accusations because they arent going to make certain fights that arent really all that fair

    I don't see you calling for it either, you don't even appear slightly interested in it. I wonder why.

    Whereas Ward Golovkin is like the second coming lol.

    floyd is a king and a boss in this sport

    miguel cotto is also up there as far as a name in the sport....both guys have hof careers...and hof resumes.....and both spent their primes at welter

    if neither wants to fight ggg...its ok....if they want the fights im not gonna say "oh man this is stupid this shouldnt be legal"....but im not gonna hold it against them if they dont want to fight a career mw ....one who doesnt have a single hof'er or top 50 p4p guy on his resume yet .....

    @cafe.....why would i call for it??? if floyd wants to retire right now what can i say or do? the man has done enough....he doesnt need this fight for anything....not a single damn thing....except maybe some respect from a few hardcore fans that are a minority......he doesnt need that fight for anything...its ggg who needs floyds name to piggyback off of....the same way he wants to use cottos....yall are just mad they wont give it to him

    You'd call for it to see GGG against an elite opponent, no?

    @cafe...if floyd and cotto want to take the fight...im all for it(yes im aware that is highly unlikely).....neither of them need the fight for anything like i said...its ggg who needs....they want the fight im totally cool with it.....

    ward/ggg is different....both guys could use this fight...it makes alot of sense.....floyd/cotto vs ggg doesnt make a hell of alot of sense for anyone but ggg....ward/ggg does for both

    You're clearly uncomfortable with GGG destroying all your heroes at 154 and 160 so you keep clinging to 1 guy who might beat him at 168.

    And even your tow line of 'GGG is avoiding Ward' is completely false. An initial offer was made, in public by K2, what are Ward's demands?

    @lewis...sure it was...im pretty sure wards only demand is 168

    i could care less about floyd or cotto losing...it wont hurt me one bit.....for every person that might be hurt or care about them losing....there is one person, or more, who are just as concerned with ggg losing....because it will hurt them too....they lost on pacman and now need someone else to hold over floyd.....and they will be crushed....which is why they DONT want ward......

    i dont care if floyd or cotto lose...im a floyd fan...im a fan of cotto but not like some huge fan....i like pac(ive even paid my way to see him fight twice in person)...i love jmm...i like paulie ....and a ton of fighters...im a fan of the sport

    i just dont think floyd and cotto need to prove anything by fighting ggg...and are a huge disadvantage......both are career prime welters...and they arent big welters......neither guy needs ggg......ward/ggg makes sense for both guys to a larger degree....cotto/floyd vs ggg only makes sense for ggg....you cannot deny that

    Sounds like Hagler.
    But yeah, wanting to fight a former 130-pounder isn't exactly heroic.

    And Haglers best win was a loss to a former LWW.
    His second best win over a fat, AND OLD AS FUKK, former SBW, and his 3rd best win over the modern day PWilly(if he weren't paralyzed)

    Imagine if GGG beat Floyd(SRL), Morales or Marquez(Duran), and PWilly(Hearns).

    His hate would be even greater than it is today.:lol::lol::lol:

    Your first two sentences are the exact reason GGG is wanting to fight them. Ward is no where NEAR the draw either of them are and BOTH of them fought at 154 in their prime. Not to mention Cotto is reigning MW champion.

    As for your comment on GGG's resume, that is horsesh*t. WHo were the great fighters that Maidana, Ortiz, Berto, Guerrero, Gatti beat? Broner was Maidanas biggest win FFS!!

    Having said that, now we switch blame to GGG. Ward doesn't bring any money...but he brings a ton of legacy which will lead to money. He could preface the fight by saying he is going up one time to fight Ward, then returning to 160 if he still wants Cotto/Canelo... but he isn't doing it. Just like Floyd, Cotto and Pac he doesn't give a sh*t about legacy and just wants money fights he is confident he can win.

    @ycgs.....yes i understand why ggg wants to fight them....but you also understand, in the same breath, why those guys dont care or need to fight ggg

    mayb4e yer right about some of the other fighters faced by floyd and others...their resumes arent a heck of alot better than gggs...although id still say better....the point is.....floyd is a boss...cotto is a boss....and their resumes do have hof fighters on them....even if they have fighters on there that arent all that deserving....they do have several who were...and worthy and hof'ers.....ggg has none ...not even close....thats why bosses aint even gonna flirt with the idea
