Gennady Golovkin is a bigger draw in California than Andre Ward!

[Freedom]

Most boxing fans like fearless ring warriors, not prima donnas who rarely fight and demand all the advantages such as home advantage.

They want entertaining fights, not boxers clamping their opponent's arms and fouling.

California is Andre Ward's home state, but Gennady Golovkin, a fearless ring warrior from halfway around the globe, has become more popular there than Ward!

There was a huge demand for tickets for last night's fight. Did you hear crowd cheering for him and chanting Golovkin's name?

GGG is a fantastic fighter and very exciting, does need a elite name to fight, I'm getting excited just thinking about the possibility

He's got a daft voice tho

[imp]

Let him step up and call out ward then!

He wont because he will get destroyed.

Lets not forget who andre ward actually is and what resume he has.

GGG is avoiding ward like everyone else.

I agree that he will have more of a following because the majority of fans want that rocky type stuff.

Ward destroys guys in a way where theres no point in a rematch.

Ward is the man to beat..

Ok, i cant defend wards boring style but we need to appreciate it in a hopkins type fashion.

Mentally and physically destroyed are two different things and I think that ward has a great mental edge and is very strong and tough in the ring as froch mentioned.

I just want to see ward do well and its a shame he cant jump on to al haymon and mayweather promotions and perhaps have a clean start to 2015.

No offense meant but that is simply nonsense. And nonsense on more then one level.

Explain.

I want GGG to fight andre ward.

Andre needs a big payday after all the crap he is going through so why not school GGG.

I know everyone wants GGG to be the next big thing and I reaslly hope he does well but andre ward is the man to beat...surely you realise that?

Well you should have just admitted that narcissism from the get go
I wouldn't mind seeing them fight either but don't dress it up as if the Kazak is ducking him. That is not even possible technically. Thats like me saying Ward is ducking Stevenson and Kovalev.

In addition Ward is almost retired and is rotting on the vine and has had nobody left to fight in his own division for 2 years. Spends that time in court wasting millions no doubt fighting an iron clad contract based on its longevity. All of his actions seem to suggest a man that does not want to fight period.

The Kazak just tied Haglers defense numbers and not only that, knocked all 17 out with still a bunch of fights that could be made at 160 should the boxing gods align. Gennady does not need Andre Ward.
He already has surpassed Ward. Wards super fans are still living off the scraps of the Super 6. Oh the ghost of Andre Ward.

Ward does not deserve a payday because he's an idiot. And I completely disagree on who would get schooled.

One thing about this guy that is totally overlooked even by his own fans is his incredible boxing ability and ring generalship. It really is second to none. He's got to have in addition an incredible boxing brain in order to take the ring away from his opponent so completely. This isn't some one dimensional rinse and repeat plodder. Ward would have as much trouble trying to figure him out as 3G would him.

Leave the titles at home and do a catchweight.

Ward brings nothing to the table. Fuck all money and fuck all fans. If Ward wants GGG he should come down to mddle for it. GGG is the draw not Ward and people shouldnt forget that

[imp]

Perhaps his team want to to take it slowly and play it safe for the next 5-10 fights but I would give GGG the most props if he started to call out ward and they meet at a catchweight or at 168..

Shame froch is on the slide.

Might not have the best style but neither did calzaghe..

Ward would put a stop to all this GGG hype so I cant blame people for not pushing him in that direction..

Andre Ward Career Highlights & Knockouts - YouTube

The video you posted a link to was uploaded four years ago. Whoever's fault it is, the fact is Ward is fast becoming irrelevant. Calzaghe had more style in his left foot than ward has in his left hook. Ward is extremely effective at what he does, but I don't think it's stylish. He seems quite lacking in imagination.
