Is it funny that Golovkin wants Mayweather, but says he's not ready for Ward?

    Coward, bully, is 2 words that come to mind. He wants Mayweather who should be fighting at 140, but wants no part of people his size (Quillian, Ward).

    You know who else said they want to fight Mayweather? Andre Ward.
    Anyone who can make 152lbs wants the biggest payday(theoretically)in boxing.
    I'm sure Floyd is flattered that you're defending him though.:good
    Did you throw all your T.I. cd's in the garbage?:lol:

    Golovkin seems to be the most talked about fighter behind mayweather. Crazy.

    I wouldnt be ready for a coward who ducked me twi e and brings no money cause no one wants to see him, either. Also, listen to that interview again and you will understand. He's not ready because he has fights in MW against Cotto and Quillin.

    it's funny that he answered a reporter's question about floyd, actually looked into a fight v ward (who ain't fighting anybody) and some genius comes up with this thread.

    It's not funny at all. If you're a MW why would you want to fight Ward over Mayweather? That doesn't make any sense.

    Most of the Golovkin haters seem to be Floyd nuthuggers. I've noticed that many of them are also Bernard Hopkins nuthuggers too (not directing any of this at the OP by btw). Odd how they have such a big problem with ''big bad bully'' Golovkin (and I've seen them use this phrase or words to that effect a lot) ''calling out'' the smaller Mayweather, which he hasn't even ever done, but they don't have about Hopkins was regularly calling out fighters from divisions below his when he was MW champ AND actually suggested the likes of Larry Merchant accuse them of being ''cowards'' and ''chickens'' on live TV if they didn't accept his challenge.

    Golovkin, who has always been extremely respectful and polite about all of his opponents/potential opponents, isn't requesting, demanding or expecting Mayweather to move up in weight to his division or a catch-weight to fight him like Hopkins did with all those fighters from lower divisions he used to call out on live on TV. No, he said he'd move down to 154 for that fight, ie. the division where Mayweather was/is still (?) the current unified champion.

    And where's all the hate for Hopkins and Ward both calling out Mayweather NOW? They SMWs and LHWs, divisions which are even higher, two in Hopkins' case, than Golovkin's, which is only one above the division Mayweather is the unified champion in. Why aren't they ''big bullies'' when they're naturally bigger than Golovkin is?

    Apparently MWs not calling out a LMW/WW but saying they want the fight and being willing to move down to the weight the fighter is the unified champion at is much worse than LHWs and SMWs actually calling out a LMW/WW and expecting them to move up to a weight they've never fought at before.

    Additionally, it would only make sense. Fighting Chickenweather is like winning the lottery, you get a shitton of moneys. Moneys that you couldn't even dream about fightng CoWard.

    Also, there's no problem at all if Floyd has spent 3/4 of his career fighting peoples much smaller than him (and that part is also where almost all his stoppages come from), even cheating peoples on the scales not making weight.

    Mayweather has NEVER FOUGHT ONCE in reach disadvantage. In fact, he has Golovkin's reach.

    Everyone wants to fight smaller fighters and cash cows. Suddenly if GGG wants it too, it's a bad thing. But wasn't Floyd "so good", so "untouchable" that he could have won "eazy peazy" against super middleweights and cruiserweights? Because that's what some peoples here claim.

    What about CoWard, that stated he could beat heavyweights and even the Klitschkos, only to try to change argument when someone asked him about it?

    According to that logic, Ward is a co-ward to not fight heavyweights. :deal

    Never thought about this. Mayweather would be an easier and less dangerous fight that pays more, that's why.
