How about Gennady Golovkin vs. Arthur Abraham at 168?

[elfag]

GGG wont fight at 168 bro.

All that talk about fighting anybody is just talk. Hes camping out at 160 to wait for smaller guys to move up.

Pretty sure he signed the contract to fight Chavez at 168.

I'm sure he'd fight Abraham too if there was money in it, but Abraham needs Golovkin like a hole in the head. He's ballin' in Germany fighting Stieglitz over and over again.

With the Ward-Golovkin fight not happening,I think this is the fight to make.



vs.



I would go with GGG via KO. I believe he hits harder,is more technically sound,and as seen in the pictures above,has a stronger sweater game.

I guess the big question would be,where will the fight be held? MSG? Germany? The UK perhaps?

How about Andre Ward vs. Gennady Golovkin at 168?

Ask if your boy Ward is ready, i doubt it. Last i heard he needs more tuneups.

Well, your whole post is based on an assumption. Remember that Arthur has a belt, name and selling power, so there is that.

You whole premise is completely ******ed. That he avoided two guys that he had already lost to in one sided dominations. As those were fights that needed to happen again.

That short period you describe goes back to Aug 2012 when he won his first WBO SMW title. You do realize this isn't poker right and 3 years is a millennium in boxing.

Ward's first fight after the Super 6 was Dawson in September 2012 when he held both the WBC and WBA belts. Abraham had barely won the WBO belt a month before. Ward then was out for over a year due to injury, and by the time Ward made his return, Abraham had already lost his belt to Stieglitz. Then Ward was out again due to Goosen lawsuit. There's been literally no moment in time where Abraham could have unified with Ward when Ward held half the SMW belts. Putting that aside, you'd be ******ed to think HBO would have been interested in an Abraham rematch, or to think Ward would ever be interested in going to Germany to fight a guy he had had already dominated.

As for the IBF, Froch signed on for the Mack fight almost exactly when Abraham won the WBO belt in late September 2012. Then Froch went on to rematch Kessler in an extremely lucrative fight a couple months after Abraham lost to Stieglitz in a fight he was forced into due a legally binding rematch clause. Again there was no time he could have ever unified with Froch in a rematch.

Your whole basis that he's afraid of other SMW belt holders is that he didn't fight fucking Bika and Anthony Dirrell when they were having their ******ed Haymon sponsored WBC tournament. Oh, the horror! He fought the best fighters in the world, but he didn't fight Bika! What a quacking duck!

I think they should do it in the states. Maybe California? A lot of Armenians live in Cali and GGG has a big following out there.

People have to remember,Abe won a fight with a broke jaw.

Why would that fight be in California when Golovkin only brought in $500k for the Rubio fight at Stubhub, and likely a similar number at the Forum for the Monroe Jr fight, yet the gate for the fight in Germany would more than double that? lol

How brave of him.

It's a good fight and GGG would knock him out just like he would knock out any 168 pounder. GGG doesn't want to move to 168. He makes 160 with ease and said he could make 154 for Mayweather. GGG wants to win all the belts at 160 and beating 168 pound fighters doesn't help him unify the middleweight division.

Feelings were definitely hurt.

As mentioned in my previous post, you can factor out "champions" for solid contenders.

You can slice and dice it which way ever you wish, but Abraham is comfortable defending his belt in fruit cake defenses. This isn't to say "oh he is a pu55Y" as demonstrated by his willingness to join Super Six, but he is smart about boxing now that he has learned his deficiencies and treats it like a business. Good for him.

Think whould be a great fight as well which doesn't goes 12 rounds imo..
