Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: We'd Fight Ward at 164, 50-50 Split

[gauze]

as a golovkin fan, this is pretty disappointing to hear. this catchweight nonsense needs to stop.

[i'm a fun haver]

Heiland is taking some other fight in August, Tureano Johnson is positioning himself as the mandatory to Lemieux's IBF title. Where does that leave Golovkin?

He doesn't want to fight Lara (asking the fighter being brought in as the opponent to make the fight offer is as ridiculous as if they asked Willie Monroe Jr to make the fight offer), he doesn't want to fight Ward (will gladly fight every other super middleweight at 168 yet Ward, a fighter coming off of a 19-month break and, according to NSB, 2-3 fights away from being all the way ready, has to fight at 164?), and all of the other name fighters at the weight are pretty much tied up.

Who is Golovkin supposed to fight this Fall?

Tony Jeter (WBA #15, WBC #11) [20-4-1], Avtandil Khurtsidze (WBC #13) [30-2-2], and Andrey Meryasev (WBC #10) [17-0] are the only middleweights rated by the WBC or WBA in their top 15 who would be available for a fight September/October.

Have fun selling one of those.

How is Lara going to fight on HBO?

[SlySlickSmooth]

I clearly support this.

[Kagami Taiga]

And the world keeps spinning. Better question is who the **** is Golovkin planning in fighting?

[RINGG]

Dawson was a super middleweight before winning the light heavy title. He wanted to move back down for a money fight. Ward said ok. If Ward says no to catchweight members here are going to start saying he ducked GGG rather than just saying no to an insane offer.

[Mate_Parlov]

You're letting Golovkin's management team blind you. GGG has nothing to do with this. Its Loeffler, who's a CANCER (at this point) for GGG's career.


I've been on record saying this for months. He's gotta go. ASAP.


GGG would fight Ward at 168, no problems. Trust me.

No, it is Ward who is CANCER for his own career.

[AKAcronym]

This has nothing to do with the thread but it's getting pretty crazy how much traffic GGG produces on these boxing websites. I wish Loeffler took notice so he could get an idea on what the **** to do. I'm a GGG fan but I can't support everything. I don't think he's afraid of Ward or any challenge but Tom is speaking some **** that makes it seem otherwise. Golovkin really needs to come out and clear the air of any bull**** that's going on, in English or Russian-nothing British (we've seen how that got fabricated).

[Tobi.G]

Loeffler is really a ****! This fight will never happen at 164 and Ward would be ****** if he agrees to that. Now it is clear Team GGG want no part of Ward. A shame.

[Tobi.G]

No problems here. I would even take it a step further and say 163 would be more fair. Golovkin is a small MW. He could easily make 154.


I think Ward should take this fight. He's obviously ducking Kovalev, but he has a far better chance of being successful against Golovkin..... He should take the fight. But he won't.

LOL...Ward cont make 164 you should know that. he would be verry drained and weak. This fight only makes sense at 168. GGG said manny times he can fight from 154 to 168 but Loeffler is ruining GGGs credibility with ****-statements like this!
I still love GGG but his Team is turning out to be pathetic.

[Redd Foxx]

Come on GGG fans. Explain this.

Real fans have clocked his team's bull**** for a while and now it's on full display.

Indefensible.

This^. How many Golovkids here have quoted him saying he'd fight "ANYONE" between 154 and 168? Like everything else, Golovkin's crew talks big while averting legit challenges. This is a smokescreen while they line up the next can. We all know it.
