His punches won't have the same effect against bigger men like Froch, Ward and even Chavez jr.

    If I was GGG's manager I would push hard for a fight at 154 vs Canelo, then Cotto at 160, make a couple of defenses n then vs Ward is a mega fight. I think Ward wins that one though, as he is the larger man and is very versatile n fast. Interesting to see how he takes GGG's punch m if GGG can carry his punch up with him.
    If he can land a big punch!
    Defensively Ward is superior to everyone he has fought so far. I don't see this fight ever happening, there are easier money fights out there, Ward is too big, and GGG is there to be hit. I think Ward would be a stupid move.
    People want Mayweather to fight GG....so why is it so stupid for GG to fight Ward?

    Top fighters from America are constantly berated and chided for "not taking risks"......those standards should apply across the board and across the world.
    What do you mean top fighters from America? There are only 3 and one of them is pretty much retired and the other 2 will be retired soon. I think there is maybe 2 or 3 Americans in the top 20 fighters in the world so its not like you are riddled with talent

    I just don't think anyone beats him at or below 160 pounds, to the point where I don't even care to see it. Cotto and Floyd won't go anywhere near him. Honestly liked the idea of his fighting Chavez Jr for a first opponent at 168, just to tell us how he handles the weight/brings his power up etc, and to see Jr get beat up of course Bika would also be a good way to break into the division. After that absolutely Froch and Ward are the superfights for me.

    Why should Floyd go near GG??

    Mayweather is a WW.

    A better question would be why won't GG go near Andre Ward.

    Floyd has moved up from 130 to 154 pounds....winning titles along the way...and you make him out to be a coward.

    GG on the other hand..

    Is hailed as this beat yet hasn't moved up once and isn't interested in doing so.

    You GG fans have to stop calling Floyd.....or anybody....a coward.

    Who do you think wins between Ward and GGG? Do you think GGG has a solid shot at upsetting the "man" at 168? You must think that if you are pushing so much for the fight. Me--I'm not so sure. I think part of GGG's success at 160 is his power and strength and Ward knows how to smother power well. It would be a good fight but I have to favor Ward.

    What are you talking about? I would never call any top fighter a coward and I agree with all that! Floyd is tiny compared to Golovkin and has never held anything above 150 pounds very well, that's why he shouldn't take the fight. Golovkin going after Ward would be asmaller ask and I'd like to see it, but it's still asking him to give up advantages and do the same thing. It's easy to see why Golovkin would hope to fight Cotto before having to throw all his chips in like that. You talk about his age or w/e, but that's all the more reason he needs to start getting the big money. None of these guys we're talking about are afraid to fight period, how about you just leave that alone.

    If America isn't riddled with talent then nobody is.

    You Brits sure as hell don't have anything.

    At least our prospects are YOUNG.

    You're jocking a 32 y/o 8 year pro like he was a kid of 22...

    Why have you got any talent,! yes you have pissing people off Floyd is what he is,
    if he was the dogs bollocks he would fight at middle weight.
    But he does not want to get hurt, in the 80s all the GREAT fighter faced each other,
    may I just say you do talk some crap.

    If Floyd is a coward for not fighting at middleweight then GG is a bigger coward for not fighting Ward at 168.

    Andre Ward single-handedly shut that "GG will fight anybody from 154 to 168" bullshit down.
    Thanks to Ward you don't hear that shit anymore

    Mayweather started at 130 and has TITLES clear to 154.

    GG has NEVER defeated ONE reigning champion.

    Compare the number of times Mayweather has moved up to the number of times GG has moved up....if you wanna' get a good laugh.
    Golovkin better be glad that was Geale hitting him last night.

    Cotto, Soliman, and Quillin in any order you can get them.
    I don't think he should move up or down until he has to.
