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

[Beanz]

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..

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.

Greenbeanz,

Danny garcia isnt pretty to watch but he is effective.

Can we just put wards numbers aside and appreciate the fact that he wont duck anyone and is improving all the time.

These promotional issues can happen to anyone why does eveyone want ward to fade away?

People don't want Ward to fade away they want him to fight.

[IamInuit]

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.

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.

Who cares about defenses if the opponents aren't good?

IamInuit I'm sure you can find me saying GGG was the best in the division years ago. It was in the thread "Other than Sergio who is the best..." I said by my eye GGG was the best in the division period. But the division is a wasteland, I'm Jermain Taylor is a champ again FFS. Before that Soliman was. Titles and defenses are meaningless, it's about opponents. Rubio is top 10, so what, top 10 of shit means shit.

Frankly the whole sport is in a rather shitty state. GGG and Ward is a good fight, why people are against it befuddles me. Except I don't see any, not one, Ward fans against it so....

Ward would be a heavy favorite. GGG vs. Froch would be more competitive.

Ward has never destroyed anyone

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

Ward is the man to beat..

seems your understanding of destroying and mine are different

ward is the man to beat tho, you are right about that

danny garcia isnt the most exciting fighter to watch there has ever been, id much rather watch one of his fights tho, his offence is bassed on landing punches and trying to knock the other fellow out and i dont think wards approach is bassed on those principles

[Fenster]

It was laughable that HBO made out that Jesus was being ducked by GGG. Everyone else on earth is scared of GGG apart from their colleague that has fought once - against the great Edwin Rodriguez - in the past two years.

Ward shouldn't even be mentioned until he proves he's not retired.

Chavez Jr., Cotto or Alvarez is all GGG needs.

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.

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]

Ward gets more abuse than bradley.

[Beanz]

Chavez Jr., Cotto or Alvarez is all GGG needs.

He'd muller the lot of them which is why they don't want to fight him.
