Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Ward Fight Impossible - He Couldn't Make 168!

[BritishBoxing92]

say if he could though make 168 pounds and they could face off in the ring I could see ward frustrating golovkin through out the fight with his style..

Gennady Golovkin's trainer, Abel Sanchez, says a potential fight with Andre Ward would have never come off - because Ward would have never been capable of making the super middleweight limit of 168-pounds.

quick, someone make a poll..... as of today - for the sake of their own reputation - who badly needs to STFU more

a) Manny Pacquiao
b) Abel Sanchez

Honestly, this has turned into a bunch of "he say, she say" at this point. I can piece together faults on both sides as to why the fight didn't happen, but at the core, neither camp wanted the fight enough to make necessary concessions and that's alright. Both sides have moved on for the time being as far as future opponents are concerned. Now, both sides need to move on from all that back and forth and shut up. I wasn't even that amused by that fight anyway...

sure it has

well, I find it a little difficult to believe the proven liars who have never signed a meaningful fight EVER..... over the proven 168 kingpin who just signed a much harder fight at LHW

especially considering that 164 catchweight demand

I would say you are of the few who can't seem to figure it out

Ward wasn't at 168 in 2015 -- he was at 172, as we all know...

... and glad that you provided link to this article... because it clearly shows what was the "weight issue"... read carefully:

<< Ward returned last month after being away from the ring since November of 2013. He stopped Paul Smith in the ninth round of a fight which took place at 172-pounds. If Ward puts together a few good wins and gets the buzz going again, Golovkin's position on the weight might have some wiggle room.

"That's something that would be a discussion amongst the team. And if we all came to the consensus that it was the right thing to do, at that point, then yes we'd consider budging on the weight. But right now, as it stands, he has to come to 164 if he wants to fight Gennady," Sanchez said.>>

If Ward weighed 172 for Smith, as he worked his way back down to SMW after 18 months of inactivity..... why on earth did they demand 164 ?

.Ward called out GGG one hour after it was announced that GGG had a contract to fight Lemieux.....this can be checked out for a fact in the transcripts……second of all GGG's team had been trying to come to an agreement for two years with Ward....the problem was first Ward was in trouble with law suits with Goossen...they were suing each other....Goosen won the lawsuit three times.....then Ward signed with Roc Nation....the first thing Roc Nation said was that Ward needed two tune up fights before they would let Ward fight GGG...then Ward fought one fight at 172 pounds....GGG and his team got tired of waiting for Andre Ward to make up his mind what he wanted to do...then look at the numbers....Ward fought in his own home town and he could not put 4000 people in the arena....Ward fought at the Citizens centre and there were only 3000 people....every single word I have put here can be checked out by anybody simply by looking at the transcripts....and if that is not enough for you then here is a video by Tom Loeffler.....either Loeffler is lying or Ward is lying....only problem with that is that the transcripts will back up Loeffler and not Ward.
And here is a quote from Ward that proves what Abel says is true. ''My body feels good. I don't think I can make 168 anymore. 175 isn't easy to make. I'm not doing anything crazy but it's not easy to make.''//krikya360.com/andre-ward-rules-out-fights-168-175-not-easy-make--107486

I just hope they "look at the numbers" when it comes to Canelo.

They got an offer from Ward to fight at 168 in 2016. They didn't ask for any catchweight in response to that. Didn't Ward himself complain that they didn't even try to negotiate with him?

They just told Ward that if he wanted to fight GGG at 168 he should get back to them in 2017.

When Oscar says "get back at me in 2017," we call "ducking."

The GGG trolls are out in full force. Just can't seem to face the fact that GGG is one of the greatest middleweights in a long time. And just in case let's put a quote down from Andre Ward about GGG. '"Golovkin might hit a tad bit harder than Chavez Sr, and I think defensively he's a lot better.Golovkin's not a one trick pony, and that's what I think people are kinda missing here as they talk so much about the power, but he's got subtle defense, he's doing a lot of things in there that is allowing him to not take too much punishment." -- Andre "S.O.G." Ward educating casuals on how GGG is better both on offence AND defense than one of the best boxer punchers ever, making GGG perhaps THE best. These are Ward's own words on just how good GGG is.

GGG stands a chance vs a prime Roy Jones? Casuals...

What biased bullshit you fuckers talk.

Was GGG holding a title in Ward's division?

Was Ward his mandatory challenger?

Did GGG make a step aside deal with Ward promising to fight him next if he was allowed a voluntary?

Did GGG call Ward into the ring after that voluntary fight and tell his fans he was going to fight him next?

Did he then hand over his world title without a fight instead of keeping his word?

GGG ducked Ward after talking all that mad smack

now he is lil'G

Here is a quote from Andre Ward about GGG, which is the reason Ward maybe did not really want to fight GGG."Golovkin might hit a tad bit harder than Chavez Sr, and I think defensively he's a lot better.Golovkin's not a one trick pony, and that's what I think people are kinda missing here as they talk so much about the power, but he's got subtle defense, he's doing a lot of things in there that is allowing him to not take too much punishment." -- Andre "S.O.G."

And here is what really went down with the Ward/GGG negotiations.Ward called out GGG one hour after it was announced that GGG had a contract to fight Lemieux.....this can be checked out for a fact in the transcripts……second of all GGG's team had been trying to come to an agreement for two years with Ward....the problem was first Ward was in trouble with law suits with Goossen...they were suing each other....Goosen won the lawsuit three times.....then Ward signed with Roc Nation....the first thing Roc Nation said was that Ward needed two tune up fights before they would let Ward fight GGG...then Ward fought one fight at 172 pounds....GGG and his team got tired of waiting for Andre Ward to make up his mind what he wanted to do...then look at the numbers....Ward fought in his own home town and he could not put 4000 people in the arena....Ward fought at the Citizens centre and there were only 3000 people....every single word I have put here can be checked out by anybody simply by looking at the transcripts....and if that is not enough for you then here is a video by Tom Loeffler.....either Loeffler is lying or Ward is lying....only problem with that is that the transcripts will back up Loeffler and not Ward....
