Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach on Mayweather's Ward Demand: That's ******!

[TheMexHurricane]

A few days ago, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) threw down a challenge to Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin. He dared the IBO/WBA/IBF middleweight champion to move up in weight, to 168-pounds, to fight Andre Ward.

GGG wants Ward to fight him at a catchweight but GGG won't fight Canelo at a catchweight. It's all good, everybody wants what will benefit them most in their business decision making, because boxing is a business. Best of luck to all!

so ward wanted to fight ggg and now has a contract to fight kovalev and we still talk **** about the guy? im a ggg fan but him and his team are full of it, they want floyd at 154, rosado and brooke at 157, froch, chavez, and bernard at 168 but not canelo at caneloweight or ward at 68 maybe he is little g

i knew lil g was a fraud when bhop called him out and his team said not now "maybe in the future"..a 50 year old man

Here's the interview, Dontae made a good point to challenge Abel:

How is it ******. He just wants him to pay his dues. You can't demand a fight with Floyd when the biggest name on your resume is lemuix. And is not like he's asking to do something unimaginable because he was willing to go up for JCCjr, Froch.

Regarding Floyd fight with berto that most fans don't get- Floyd-showtime contract guaranteed generating x amount of $, which prolly surpassed the entire x amount with the floyd-pac fight alone. The logic with the berto fight was they knew it would do bad selling wise, but wanted an easy fight to cash in his 30mil+ remaining on the contract. Showtime took a loss in that fight but ultimately won with the 3yrs/6 fight contract

Exactly !!

But I agree with Reloaded, in that there is little-to-no chance of that happening, and Floyd knows it.

It's the picking sides that's the real dog$h!t here. You can't criticize GGG for not wanting to fight Ward and turn right around and give Floyd a pass for not wanting to fight GGG. Then turn right around and give Ward a pass for willing to fight GGG at 168 while not moving up himself. (Although Ward is at 175 now and him and Kova are in the works).

It's the fans that are lame. Dudes are in here hating on GGG while defending Floyd. Or hating on Floyd while defending GGG. The truth is Floyd is scared of GGG and never wanted that work and GGG is scared of Ward and doesn't want that work. That's the bottom line.

Golovkin is neither proven, nor is he a draw. On top of that, Mayweather has been through 5 weight classes and would be 40 (with 20 years in the sport as a pro) by the time they fought. If the old man can't get a pass for not wanting to fight a 34 year old who can't draw, with next to no good wins on his resume, then no one gets a pass for anything.

I thought Sanchez answered quite well to be honest, just that he contradict himself... He is basically saying they are only after winnable money fights. Which is cool but then you here people talking about other boxers avoiding GGG. Well they too are after winnable money fights.

Yea but, everyone saw through that contradiction immediately, even the interviewer jumped on it. Their bull**** and hypocrisy has worn thin imo.

[aboutfkntime]

you really believe this don't you? even thogh he said he wasn't ready for ggg then priced himself out he wanted him? how does that work? don't actions mean more than words? also 3 tune ups before maybe fighting kovalev doesn't soudn like he wants him that bad but we will see. this is the same guy that ducked bute so we don't know if he's still a coward or not.

Absolutely I fkn believe it, and so does anyone else with a clue.

You are talking as much **** as Sanchez now.

FACT: Hypekin could have fought his first world-class opponent has he not been a b1tch about the weight.

[aboutfkntime]

lets face it..u thought ducking ward and dominating bum60(160) was going to get you a welterweight...lol and another thing u have to face is that the demand that floyd has set has sailed away from you and on to kovalev...aka u aint getting the darn fight bc u're team knew u were not elite enough to beat ward..floyd would have got hella credit if u beat ward then he beat you, but nope..u're cowards...i dont hear you saying "floyd weight in at 150 for the 30 day weighin he's not a true 154lber"
SO THAT IS WHY IM NOT MAD AT FLOYD FOR USING LEVERAGE OVER YOU, BC YOU HYPOCRISY IS GOLDEN

And that is exactly why I'm not mad at Canelo for doing the same thing.

I just spent a whole week discussing that with Raonic on the other thread..... but he is in "defend it til death" mode

Suck on it Sanchez

[aboutfkntime]

Lol, quick turn around there Abel. Why doesn't the guy just say "I admit Ward is a huge risk, but froch or Chavez isn't as much"? He would get so much more respect for honesty. What Abel has yet to understand is that while canelo is a guy they feel they can easily beat won't budge from 155, that unless golovkin moves up he has ZERO options and won't make a huge payday. He has to prove himself and beating geale at 160 when a blown up ww in Cotto stopped him 1 Rd later doesn't raise his stock much imo. Golovkin needs a size advantage, or much less skilled fighter to win. I'm not convinced that Alvarez wouldn't really make a fight out of it if they were to match up honestly, nothing golovkin has shown me has made me say "wow, yeah Alvarez has no shot".

I think that he has shown much more than Golovkin has.

I favor him over Golovkin at 155, no question.
