The, is Golovkin Ducking Ward thread.

Please show me an interview where Golovkin has said everyone is ducking him from 154 to 168 because he's never said. Fans may have, but he has never said that. While Golovkin HAS said he will go to 168 and 154 for big money fights only.

 

No what he originally said is he'll fight ANYONE at 154-168.

 

When are you going to give up fool buffy is kicking your clueless a$$ AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!atsch

 

Let me get this right....

GGG can move up 8 pounds to 168 to fight Ward & that's OK ??

BUT

Its unfair that Cotto should move up to 160 to fight GGG because he's not a middleweight despite the fact he claims he is the lineal world middleweight Champion???
Are you guys serious????

 

What? All I am saying is that there is a difference between GGG and his camp saying he will fight anyone 154-168 , that no one wants to fight him, and that he will only go down to 154 or up to 168 for big money fights. There is a huge difference!

As for Cotto he is the lineal 160 pound champ and GGG should be allowed to weigh in at 160. Catch weights are ridiculous ..

 

And he will, as long as it makes sense. He would fight the bumb of the 168 division. He'd fight the bum of the 154 division. Hed fight the best of the 168 division, and he'd fight the best of the 154 division. He'd fight them. He'd fight anyone. BUT under the right stipulations. If you're not a big money fight and if you do not hold a belt at 160, then the 168/154 opponent has two options: make concessions to fight GGG now or wait for GGG to finish his two primary goals at 160 first (unify, ppv).

It really is that simple, and this isn't ducking AT ALL. It's called priorities.

 

:deal

At the end of the day, Ward is a bigger draw than Lemieux - and the GolovIdiots know Ward wrecks his ass...

 

This is basically it.

 

hahaha cj the old fart creeper for the win!

 

We will never know how good or bad Bumlovkin is until he fights someone with a pulse...

 

I never said it was ducking at all. But ward IS a big money fight for him, way bigger than lemieux, so your excuses about how Lemieux is a ppv fight blah blah but Ward isn't is just plain stupid.
GGG can waste his time unifying in a weak division where no one will care or remember years down the road, or he can go to 168 and fight Ward, and if he wins be remembered as one of the greats. Floyd/Pac started out way below 147, if they stayed in the divisions they dominated do you think they'd be as big as they were today, or go down as an ATG?
Anyways GGG has every right to stay at 160 and unify, but like I said, going down this route means he wont go down in the history books as a great. By the time GGG unifies Ward will move up to 175.

 

Ward said that since he is the Son of God, he should fight the God of War, but doesn't Jesus have his beef first since he technically really is the "Son of God", at least according to the Big Book and such? Seems a convoluted mix-up should you ask me. I guess the only way to sort it would be for that GGG guy to fight Froch in a street fight (a fight he could possibly lose), or perform a Larry Holmes flying kick from the roof of his Soviet Era Tank. There's a reason that "Golovkin" rhymes with "I love him". You shall all soon see!

 

This poster is having problems with critical thinking and identifying cause and effect. The fact is HBO and then later Showtime refused to pay 2mln plus license fee to broadcast Ward-Smith fight. So there is a reason why Ward fought on a no name boxing network: it's because of money - HBO doesn't think the market value of Ward equals his demands, as simple as that.

Common sense thinking: 1. Ward demands are firm - two mln$ and not less -> 2. Ward's market value is low -> 3. HBO doesn't try to get an exclusive contract with Ward -> 4. HBO refuses to pay that $ and show the fight -> 5. The fight is on BET -> 6. Ward's promoter incurs an expenditure -> 7. Ward's promoter ****yses if this expenditure represents a loss or an investment.

Dumb posters logic is reversed and they create a link where there is no logical cause and effect: 1. Ward's resume is great -> 2. Ward's market value is high -> 3. Networks are willing to pay two mln plus for his fights, that's why BET show it even if it's versus a no name -> 4. Ward is the A side because Roc Nation sees value in him.

 

Is Ward a bigger draw than Lemuiex? Ward certainly has a better resume and much more respect in the serious boxing world, but I don't know that he's a bigger draw. You have to factor in the Canadian fans as well. Not sure how to truly gauge which one is the bigger draw
