Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade

[Primo Carnera]

Why don't you get a job as GGG's matchmaker or manager?
After all, you think it's really easy to get these fights for him.
You are absolutely entitled to your opinion regardless of how often you post, so I'll ask YOU who you think GGG should be fighting that he hasn't done?
When you answer that, I'll be able to reply.
Btw , Ward DID fight in 2015, you are right. He was 12lbs heavier than what GGG fights at and his opponent was 16 lb heavier and not in the top 100 LHW's in the World.
And yes, he has fought in 2016 , at 15lbs heavier than what GGG fights at.
So Golovkin should fight Ward should he?

Either of those positions would be bad for me, as I'm not interested in what's best for GGG from a business stand point, but what is best for me as a fan. I want to see GGG fighting Alvarez, Cotto, or Daniel Jacobs. I'll even take an up and comer like Chris Eubank Jr. I think any of those fighters would have been a better match up than Dominic Wade. I already said that Alvarez wanting to defend the middleweight title at 155 was as good as a duck, and I know Cotto hasn't been wafting about fighting GGG, but he hasn't ruled it out and I remember Roach being up for that fight. I have never heard anything about Jacobs ducking him though or Eubank Jr.


People overuse words like ducking and robbery when it comes to boxing and there is also a lot of hyperbole when it comes to this sport. Have people ducked GGG, yes, I already made mention of that, but has everyone, absolutely not. If you are going to say everyone is ducking him than there should be evidence to back that up. We already know, because of Ward, that that is false. If you want to say every middleweight is ducking him I doubt that as well as I can't recall Jacobs or Eubank Jr. refusing to fight GGG.

Also this is the same guy who called out Floyd Mayweather and said he would crush him and he isn't a middleweight. So isn't hypocritical to then use that same logic to discount Andre Ward? I don't care if he fights Ward or not, all I'm saying, as I have said from the beginning, is he shouldn't be fighting the likes of Dominic Wade because he is better than that and as a fan that isn't a fight that I or I think a lot of others would like to see when there are other more attractive options out there.

Canelo - I think we all agree that he is blatantly avoiding GGG. Infact he and Cotto fought each other to avoid GGG.
Cotto - what would be the point after Canelo beat him? Cotto always said he wasn't a real MW, and you just have to look at the names banded around as his next possible opponent to see where he's going. Provo & JMM.
Jacobs - GGG was looking for his next opponent while Jacobs was preparing for his World title fight. He hasn't avoided GGG yet, but he hasn't said he would fight him either.
Eubank Jr. - now you're kidding me! 2 years ago while still a novice, Eubank Sr. Was saying "my son would beat Golovkin tomorrow." He would beat GGG tomorrow , but still needed a tune up fight before he challenged Saunders for a British title and lost!
Then he was offered 2 world title shots, a Saunders rematch , and as the mandatory , a shot at Jacobs. He decided to swerve both in order to fight for a British title for 10-15% of the money he would've earned for either of the World title fights. Then , after winning, he's asked about Golovkin and Snr. Said he's NOT ready. It also now appears that he'll probably have a rematch with Saunders , although negotiations have been, as ever with the Eubanks decidedly tricky.
So, as you can see , it's not easy to match GGG , you've tried with 4 names and none of them are likely, so imagine what it's like for his team.we shouldn't be talking about A avoiding B, let's focus on the fact that GGG has always said " put me in with any MW in the World."
As far as Mayweather goes, EVERYBODY tries to fight Mayweather, including Ward and Bernard Hopkins! This is an exception. He would like to fight Mayweather for the obvious riches and because Floyd is out there on his own.
For many of the same reasons I don't like the Ward fight, I don't like this one. They are different sized men, it borders on ridiculous. And let's be fair, GGG didn't exactly go hounding Mayweather and calling him out at every opportunity, he merely answered questions he was asked. There is a difference.
