A question for Andre Ward fans

[jqSide]

I don't get the whole Ward/GGG thing.

Could Ward beat Mayweather? It's the same kind of question.

I like to see guys fight who are the same size. I think Ward/Kovalev is a good matchup, with Ward being slightly the taller guy at 6'1". But they are about the same size.

Golovkin is 5'10". He's a true MW. His goal is to unify the MW division. He's doing a great job.

(If Klitschko could make 160....)

I feel the same way when it comes to any type of contact sport. Fights where there's a huge size difference is like circus to me. I don't find them entertaining at all. Am I supposed to be in awe when the huge guy wins?

What would ward fans think if ggg agreed to fight ward but insisted he come down to 160?

That would be a ***** move that's why GGG offered 164 but Andre Ward then cowered away and accepted the fight wouldn't happen then he carried on *****ing
Why he go to 168 fo Froch?
Why he go to 168 fo JCC jr

[M Bison]

i'd think it was a tactic to get ward into the ring looking like a dead man.


look at how ward's people talk about andre ward. you don't crap on a fight you are willing to take. t hey're crapping on the fight.

it is what it is. golovkin's top earning opponents are small middleweights moving up. they're mexican and puerto rican respectively. the fight owuld be huge in LA / vegas if canelo wins, or huge in new york if cotto wins. not sure if they'll take the fight, but that's the pot of gold at the ned of the rainbow if you're gennady golovkin.

i'd avoid 168 lbs, too.

I'd avoid 164lbs too because Ward knows that GGG and him would be on an even playing field that Ward can't bloat up to any weight he wants to like he did against his last ATG opponent Paul Smith

What would ward fans think if ggg agreed to fight ward but insisted he come down to 160?

Everyone would call 'little G' a *****, for the simple fact that he was desperately pushing for the Froch fight at 168 (the way that Eddie Hearn was talking about the offer to Froch, it was likely an 85/15 split of the pot), was desperately pushing for the Chavez Jr fight at 168 (with the Mexico TV money, along with the splits on the US money, that split was likely north of 70/30 as well), yet would insist on the 168 kingpin, not only coming down to 160 (for the first time in a decade), but also giving up the lion's share of the pot.

Any talk of Golovkin of being a "machine ready to take on anyone" would end immediately.

Ward can't make 168 and you want he go down to 160?

Ward was out of the ring for over 14 months, yet was 173.5lbs with three weeks to go to his fight. What makes you think Ward can't make 168?

They can't decide if Ward can't make 168 anymore or that he's ducking Golovkin at 164

Such a confused and shook fanbase.

Golovkin has more power and more skill than Boone I reckon

You can make that argument for any top fighter. Froch has power and is way better than Boone so he should catch him too right? Maidana almost beat Floyd and Pacquiao has power and is 3x the better fighter so he should beat Floyd right?

That argument just doesn't work.

160 lbs No problem, all day everyday Andre!
Ward that is, aka SOG!

He would tie up GGG like a Gordian Knot, before stopping him.


In case some one was curious.

Are you for real? Ward can only stop punching bags on outclassed rule at his healthy weight. You mean stopping him from mounting an offense? Maybe at 168, but you're talking 160 dude

I believe he can do it.
My opinion.
