    This dont make sense to me

    He says that a Ward bout makes no sense cause of money but recently fought guys like Adama and Monroe who brought in way less money and were unknowns?!

    You cant tell me he makes more fighting those guys then Ward...

    The Adama fight was so bad HBO wouldn't show it!

    Sounds like a duck!

    Both GGG and Ward want near PPV type of money for this fight that regular HBO fight won't generate.
    But neither are PPV draws, understand now?

    GGG would only take fights out of the weight class for Froch, Mayweather or Chavez jr money.


    get it into your head.

    Ward is fighting at 172 lbs. He's closer to Kovalev.


    go talk about that. Kovalev just called him out. Why's he fighting Paul Smith at 172 doe?

    LOL at GGG fans who want Mayweather to move up and fight him but don't want Golovkin to move up to fight Ward.

    Totally agree. Though the same has to be said in reverse of Mayweather/Ward fans

    Golovkin is obviously swerving Ward right now, someone who he has no obligations to fight.

    Golovkin is a middleweight
    Ward is a super middleweight

    How do you avoid someone whos not in your divisions rankings?


    Im more bugged that team G isn't fighting Lara, to be honest. I can understand swerving Ward right now, but not even attempting to make the Lara fight bugs me a bit.

    Although the fact that Golovkin is going after the number 2 super middleweight in his first fight above middle makes up for a lot.

    It is obvious that Golovkin is scared of Ward.

    But will fight Froch in UK? Something that Ward himself won't do?

    GGG wants a challenge and a reward at 168, Froch brings both $$$$

    Team Golovkin has adopted a successful strategy and they are sticking to it. They're keeping him active and building up his rep against no hopers. They will only put him in there with a legit threat if there is big money involved. To Golovkin's credit, he's delivering the knock outs and is steamrolling solid contenders.

    Ok but now you're being one of those guys... In that case it's obvious Floyd is scared of GGG.

    Both GGG and Ward are chasing money instead of legacy.
