Team GGG explains the Ward situation

You can't argue with a Flow Mow. Pimp MVC and the rest arguing them is a waste of time.

 

Ward a big super-middleweight, with a spoiler-based style that is very hard to beat. Risk/benefit ****ysis clearly shows he should be the last man GGG should face. His second biggest challenge, Froch, is also up there with risk but he brings a huge following and a lot of cash, making the risk worthwhile.

He is willing to fight May at 154 because he would become an instant superstar (and it is an easy KO win for him). He is chasing after Cotto/Canelo because it is the second most lucrative fight for him, and fairly easy win as well (Cotto has no chance of going the distance, Canelo is a 70-30 for GGG, chances wise)

 

hbo wants no part of ward fighting golovkin, just like they want no parts of rigo fighting lomachenko.. hbo loves hyping their euro fighters as these mythical beast that everybody is ducking lol... but funny how they they protect the likes of loma and ggg, but put crawford and bradley in the ring with lions

 

Who are you to call out anyone on playing the race card?? Look at your username for god's sake, it's blindingly obvious you just love anything Eastern European.

 

Funny thing is... Kessler wanted Ward for his last fight in Denmark. It would have provided a great payday for Ward (PPV i Denmark + filled stadium) but Ward would rather face Paul ****ing Smith...
What a warrior!!

 

In the interview after the Proksa fight back in Sept. 2012, Kellerman asked GGG if he would fight Andre Ward. GGG said "Yes, of course".
That was GGG's HBO n US debut and after the fight they asked him about fighting the p4p#2(at the time)undisputed SMW champ.
Why didn't they ask him about fighting the then MW champ Sergio Martinez?:rofl

 

THIS IS TRUE. Ward is a diva and is not the A side.

 

GGG's next opponent hits harder than Ward, nothing to be afraid of, losing a UD is not scary. Boxing is a business, it is not as easy as you think. Ward needs to build his brand.

 

I like Golovkin

I'm so so on Ward as a fan

I'd rather see Golovkin unify his division

I'd like to see Ward win 1 or 2 fights to shake off the cob web

Ward also has a fighter like Degale in his division that he can fight

Also, I've never seen so many haters bash fighters to make a fight between guys who aren't the same weight

 

Of course HBO loves hyping their Euro fighters- the ones they back routinely deliver the same or better ratings for half the price as U.S. names! HBO would've been happy to have Andre back, but they weren't going to pay him 2 million to fight Paul Smith.

Ward's high guaranteed fight demands (especially relative to his ratings) are what keeps him on the sidelines, not some racist conspiracy. Haymon didn't even want anything to do with it.

Say hello to the new Winky Wright. He negotiates like Mayweather and can't understand why there's no line around the block of fighters willing to concede everything to fight him.

 

Well I think we can all agree that Kovalev would also likely club the hardly granite chinned Stevenson into submission. I'd give adonis a punchers chance because he can punch but I think we all know what the most likely outcome is.

I'd much rather see Ward in with Kovalev as that's a genuinely great fight IMO but appreciate Ward needed to shake off a little rust before stepping up to the plate. The Paul Smith fight was a total joke - he should have gone for a better opponent than that and picked a weight but he should be gearing up to try and take over LHW, not trying to call the shots against the marquee fighter -who'd be bringing the vast majority of the money and attention - at the weight below.

Ward vs GGG is a great fight at 168 but Ward can't expect to dictate terms since he brings very little to the plate other than a great set of skills.

Ward would totally school Stevenson IMO.

 

The difference is Ward has already beaten elite fighters and proven himself to be the best. GGG has yet to fight one elite fighter.

 

What the hell does this have to do with anything? The man got 2 million, still more than GGG has got for any fight thus far. That's the point and he did it against a no-hoper. You're just trying to justify a duck here using ratings as if GGG is some proven elite fighter like Ward is. Just be real for a second, you don't want the fight because you already know the outcome, pathetic. Just stop with everyone is scared of GGG thing because we all know GGG and his fans are scared to fight Ward at 168.:deal

 

I already told you and others that I have no problem with Ward going up and facing Kovalev if a fight with GGG can't be made. I want him to try and make the GGG fight first because if he goes to 175 the fight will never get made. Ward has already had discussions with Kovalev about a fight at 175 next year but me unlike GGG fans have no problems with him going up in weight. I also know there's a big chance that he might lose to Kovalev at 175 because stylistically Kovalev matches up very well with him but unlike GGG fans I don't care if he loses I want to see the fight because it's good for the sport.
