I see the usual suspects ripping Golovkin for asking for a CW of 164 while completely avoiding several facts. 1. As of this moment Golovkin pulls better ratings. FACT. Yes ward made 2 mil last fight but if you aren't a complete moron then you know Jayz took a bath on that fight. Don't be stupid. 2. Golovkin has more big money opponents at 160 than Ward does at 168. WTF is Ward even doing at 168? I thought you dumba$$es said he cleaned it out? You clean out a division...you move on. 3. Ward said he would do 160 for Floyd... So why not 164 for Golovkin? Floyd is a much bigger money fight but if he thinks he can make 160 safely to fight Floyd then surely 164 is no problem. 4. Ward talks about EVENTUALLY fighting Kovalev (so no time soon). Does he have some rare genetic disorder he can only fight between 168 and 172??? His 2 biggest fights are a division above him and 1 below him and he clearly wants neither right now. Bum Jr. is his only "big" fight and he has lost a ton of hype since Fonfara owned him. It would be amazing if GGG said ok 168... But at least he has put a fair offer on the table. Ward meanwhile needs a catchweight against a scrub and that's cool, but ggg wanting one is ducking.
Very gay thread. And nonsense to top it all off. Ward is a 168 lb fighter, and that's that. Deal with it.
funny how all these ggg fans start talking money and financial decisions now....years ago when they wanted to bash other fighters stuff like that was garbage....it was all about "taking on the biggest/best challenge".....yaaaawnnn
Ok you convinced me... He should immediately fight Kovalev at 175. He's too big for 164, so no excuse not to fight at 175.
Wtf are you talking about? Name the 2 biggest possible fights for Ward that represents the perceived toughest challenge? Kovalev and GGG. Best money fights, best legacy fights.
Fact is: GGG wants to fight Julio at 68 and wants to fight Froch at 68 but wants 64 for Ward. If he doesn't want to fight at 68, then stop talking about Mr.Ward. Mr.Ward has him shook.
This is the truth Ward makes more money and has the much much much better resume and GGG can't keep that man's name out of his mouth. If he wants to fight Ward, do it at 68. Ward is the A-Side.
The OP is showing himself to be a big time apologist. And if Golovkin has so many big money fights available to him at 160, then we should see him in one of those fights next.
What are Wards big fight options at 168? I see you have the reading comprehension of your hero...because I CLEARLY stated that it would be preferable for GGG to fight him at 168... but like MVC! You only see the things you want to see.
DeGale Groves/Jack winner Big money fights there. Ward is the A-Side to the GGG fight and it should be at 168. If he doesn't want to fight at 68, then **** off!!! Ward will never go below 68. Are you crazy? Virgil would never let him do that. GGG is not a ppv fighter. atsch
:rofl That's exactly it. Wardos are flip flopping like *****es. Just come out and admit that Ward is a BIG SMW, very very suited fighting at 175 but they can't admit to it and peddle some BS how Ward is a natural 168er. IF that is the case then 164 for GGG is a FAIR offer. GGG - natural 160 Ward - natural 168 Come meet right down the middle, what's the problem?
For Kovalev you claim Ward is a small 168, for GGG you claim Ward coming down to 164 would drain him to death. Which is it? :hi::hi:
i was talking about ggg you re****.......you guys are making excuses how the money isnt really good for that fight...except its the biggest fight he can prob make right now.....canelo and cotto are gonna fight and cotto wont fight him......he likes calling out the welterweights like floyd and cotto.....but when it comes to ward its "164 catch...yadda yadda"......he wouldnt get canelo until at least late next year....and thats the only other realisitc big money fight out there for him at 160....other than a showdown with ward...and yall are making excuses for him not to fight him
