If GG moved up to fight Ward he'd win a lot of people's respect but of course GG wouldn't take this fight..Ward ain't no Ishida or Rosado they would batter Golovkin and i would enjoy seeing it. GG will fight smaller fighters but he ducks the bigger guys.
Floyd didn't duck anybody stumpy. If Floyd ducked Martinez then so did Manny. Pacman is a joke..".Mayweather is the best" .....Sergio Martinez:deal
I wish they would quash any hopes of landing a Floyd fight. It's just not going to happen, but GGG holding out a slim hope for it is the only reason his camp insists he can make 154 despite him filling out into a natural middleweight more and more every fight. The instant the Floyd fight is ruled out, Golovkin can focus on being the strongest 160 he can be without having to worry about hedging his bets for a Floyd fight at 154, which is a pipe dream. If Floyd's getting the middleweight title, it's through rigging Cotto-Martinez and taking out Miguel in a rematch....I'm only half joking there
Yeah, he did. Manny also ducked it. Manny just doesnt look as bad for doing it. Floyd Sr just strongly advised Jr not to fight Sergio. Not that it was ever a question, if Floyd wont even fight Manny theres no way he would fight Martinez.
GGG destroys Floyd and to be honest it is a lot to expect of floyd to move up to 160. 154 seriously think GGG would be badly drained and floyd would get no credit even if he did win. Look at it this way Floyd had a tough fight with ODLH and Cotto now GGG is a bigger stronger more powerful better chinned version of those two and also he has real skills to match if nobody at 160 will fight him a guy like Floyd who hardly is know for taking the tough fights isn't going to.
i shall make it clear, sergio martinez & ggg, refuse to mention hopklins or wards name, but they chase a naturally smaller man?
Golovkin has mentioned Ward, but wants to establish more at 160 so he is on even footing for the Ward fight and not an "opponent". He is "chasing" the top 5 160 pounders. Ward also doesnt want Golovkin yet, its a fight for the future according to both parties. Ward also in a promotional lawsuit so theres no way the fight could have happened the first half of 2014 anyhow. Martinez was trying to make a fight with Floyd all the way back when he was fighting as a 154 pounder, then still when he was 160 but would fight at 154. BHOP is a LHW, with GBP and SHO. Its patently obvious why his name is never brought up.
Floyd CATCHweather won't fight GGG @154 but will fight him at yet another catchweight. Only this time it will be @149 for GGG's MW title.
really another thread? If all these middleweights want a fight with Floyd and they say they can make 154, they should go to 154 and win a few fights. If they are not committed to doing that, than they should worry about 160.
