Comments Thread For: Ward: Golovkin Ship Sailed For Me, I'd Like To See Froch Fight Him

[NaijaD]

Ward turned an offer from Kessler's promoter for a rematch in Denmark, which was reported to be for a career high purse.

Eddie Hearn went over to the States to talk to him about rematching Froch over here after Ward said, from ringside at the Froch/Bute fight, that he was open to doing it.

All Hearn said after that was "Forget it. Ward is not an option for Carl" or words to that effect.

Ward turned down 2 offers from Stevenson, to fight at 168 and then at 175. The reason he gave was the same reason he gave for turning down Bute .. he's done nothing to earn a fight with me.

I was wrong about Ward and Kovalev. Didn't I just say so?

Now suddenly you believe Eddie Hearn lol.... okay, again you are just using hearsay. So Golovkin definitely turned down the Froch fight at 172 last year and he's been refusing to fight Lara also. He's been turning down Gilberto Ramirez also because you know they called him out and the fights didn't happen. Golovkin must be avoiding Canelo by refusing 10 million.... see how that works lol.

That's cool, it's all informative.

You were insinuating Ward was demanding more than his rival though, which I don't really even take issue with ! These guys are prize fighters and Ward was inactive for 18 months due to him feeling his promoter wasn't warning him his worth and stealing a living off of his name.

Why the dislike of Ward ? Guys like this in boxing are rarer than Dodo's, only Krusher, Klitschko, Fury and Ward I feel deserve to be mentioned in the same breath, Hopkins too.

If you read the article I based my reply to you on, it says there that Ward will be earning more than Kovalev. They obviously didn't know about Krusher's guarantee either.

My dislike of Ward stemmed from him refusing to rematch Froch in the UK, and for his disgraceful head butting tactics against Kessler in Oaktown.

And the bullshit tricks he played with the fans over GGG didn't exactly endear him to me either.

That's all in the past now doe. He's going to get Krushed by Kovalev, but he's 100% committed to giving it his best shot, so fair play to him for that.

Dude Ward was ready to come to UK, did you see he was present for Kessler Froch two in London working for SKY ?

You're impossible man.

Didn't you read what I wrote in my reply to NaijaD about that?

Ward was still in litigation with Goosen back then, but he said on camera that he was able to fight, and that he would be happy to come to the UK for Froch. All Eddie Hearn had to do was ask him.

So Hearn did ask him, and what happened?

Ward is a brave man, when the chips are down, I'll give him that. But he is also full of ****, and he always has been!

[champion4ever]

Did once upon a time Golovkin insisted that he would challenge any opponent from a 154 to 168 lbs not named Andre Ward? So what about that? Didn't his team demand a catch weight of at least a 164lb or something as some kind of precondition before any negotiations can begin?

He is now. Lol.

Froch is retired, Ward is fighting Kov and GGG had his December fight cancelled and still hasn't fought anyone.

Froch never wanted to rematch Ward, it is well documented. Get ready for the bombshell..... Froch said ' why should I rematch Ward when I'll lose.'

He fought Rubio and Lemiuex last year ! Jeez dude, what more do you want ? Give the guy a year off to take a soft defence or two....
