    Only noobs think Ward has no power, he would have a lot more KO's on his record if he fought the bums Golovkin has been fighting. Golovkin may not fear that Ward will KO him but he is scared to lose his zero to SOG.

    LOL :lol: @ GGG thinking he is A side because he beat bums like Geale & Macklin :lol:

    Beating top 10 Middleweights and former champions does not equate to BUMS. That word gets used too often. Andre Ward has no knock out power, he runs, hugs/clinches and repeats the same process over and over again. The man has a significant size advantage over GGG, a catch weight seems reasonable.

    At least Golovkin gets mainstream and million of fans' attention when he fights bums. Ward gets BET channel and 300K views :lol:

    If Ward has fought on HBO, he'd easily do similar numbers. He averaged 1.2 million when he fought on HBO. He killed it with Dawson/Rodriguez.

    BET just sucks for boxing and it's obvious.

    Not enough promotions.

    Ward earns more than GGG.

    Ward earns 2 million+ a fight doing 300k in numbers while GGG only made 1.5 doing those big numbers.

    :good

    Ward is the A-Side

    Catch weight only seems reasonable for GGG fan boys :lol: real boxing fans know it is BS.

    If you think that Ward doesn't KO the likes of Geale, Macklin, Rubio & Murray then YDKSAB.

    Ward has a Glass Jaw. Thus, he'll fight every two years against blobby never-has-beens like bloated, shot, feather-fisted journeyman Paul Smith.

    Are you forgetting Ward is NOT in the same weight class you twit :lol:
    Ward is LARGER than any of these Golovkin opponents, it would not surprise me that he could knock them out based on his size alone, BUT he showed nothing of that potential in his own weight class, and it does not signify that he would become a knock out artist in the 160 weight class :nut

    Real boxing fans know Golovkin is the real deal, and asking for a catchweight is reasonable. You guys just want Golovkin to have a loss on his resume, which is why you want Ward to have all the advantages available :lol:

    But he doesn't.

    But he doesn't.

    Still doesn't.

    Or nobody wanted to watch Ward's fight.

    Or nobody wanted to watch Ward's fight.

    Golovkin earned 1.5 million fighting Monroe and a million more viewers.

    Ward earned 500k more money fighting Smith and a million less viewers.

    No, he is not. Them two fight and the fans will be drawn to it because of Golovkin- not because of Ward. The millions of fans that'll watch? Will come from Golovkin, not from Ward.

    I'll quote GGG, "He's new. People forgot him."

    On the other hand, GGG is appearing on ESPN, nominated for ESPY FOTY, and in the mouth of every big-name fighter (even your boy, Mayweather).

    If he has no power like you said before then how would he KO anybody? LOL @ GGG fans :lol: whatever suits their agenda.

    You contradict yourself, you joke saying Golovkin is scared of Wards power, then you say because he is bigger that he will have more power. So if Golovkin is not scared of Andre Ward than why wont he fight him at 168 but he will fight Froch or Chavez at 168?

    Funny how he makes more than GGG despite fighting on BET, 1 million less viewers.

    Ward goes back on HBO, and he easily does those big #'s again.

    People act like Ward's fighting style is so appealing, nobody wants to watch someone run, clinch, potshot and hug for 12 rounds. Mayweather got away with it because he was annoying enough to have people pay to see him lose.
