Floyd and Pacquiao are in the same damn weight class. What people want GGG to do is unrealistic. Move up in weight now and lose his 160 WBC mandatory position for Canelo/Cotto? lol ok that makes a lot of sense, especially considering Ward isn't even fighting and wants TWO tune ups when he does return. -
If you really think the money whores at the WBC would strip GGG of his #1 contender position for fighting Ward while Canelo/Cotto takes place, you're an idiot.Originally posted by ***1048;ATAS View Post
Too big, inactive, not a big enough draw? Yada, yada, yada. Bottom line if team GGG thought he could beat Ward this fight would get made quickly!Comment

Ward isn't fighting. His trainer said he'll need a couple tuneups before he fights anyone big. Ward will not fight anyone worth a damn anytime in the foreseeable future and it's his fault.Comment

Golovkin thinks he can beat Froch and that fight's not going to get made due to financial reasons. Is he ducking Froch too?Originally posted by just the facts View Post
Lets hear what you think the purses would be for a non-ppv fight between Golovkin-Ward?
Last two years, HBO averages $30million for their annual boxing budget. What's the most expensive card they paid for that was non-ppv? Ward-Rodriguez ($1.9mill vs $1mill). That's almost 10% of their budget, I don't think they're willing to go much above that for a single fight.Comment

GGG isn't coming to 168 for Ward. Ward damn sure isn't going to 160 for GGG. No real reason to even talk like this should happen.Comment

If anything he said he will fight Ward but that he has to finish what he started at 160. Do you expect him to move up now, put on some weight and fight Ward, then come back down to 160?
Yea but "he said he would fight Chavez Jr at 168", yea he also said he would go to 154 for Floyd. Like he would pass the opportunity to fight on pay per view...Comment

Quillin is that you?Comment

The time will never be right. GGG knows Ward would son him.Comment

You can say whatever you want but that is not a good look for Golovkin. It is pretty damn obvious why he wouldn't fight Ward especially as his first fight at 168 that would be extra dumb.
Plus Ward needs to get back on the track as well, one fight should do him fine but if I was Ward I would want that Golovkin fight to be as big as possible. He can let Golovkin do most of the heavy lifting, but Ward doing some stuff only helps the cause of making that fight what it could be.
So it is not like he is wrong, but still for most people here that is not something they want to hear. That is the problem with having a super low bar for ducking it comes back around on a guy you want to be more positive on (and there is some reasoning behind it).Comment

What about Ward ducking Kovalev and Stevenson?Originally posted by The Gambler1981 View PostComment
