Dirrell V Degale tonight for the IBF Super Middleweight title.
^ It was a pretty good fight. I agree with the decision.
Why is GGG going after Cotto and Alvarez? His ass should get in the ring with Ward before chasing the big money.
Ward is fighting at at Super Middleweight (168lbs) Golovkin is currently campaigning at Middleweight (160 lbs).
And heck Ward has fought twice in three years. We don't know if this is the same Andre Ward as before.
Preaching to the choir! Same thing me and Doc Samson been saying for a minute. Dude has fought cab drivers, calls out smaller fighters,claims to be the most feared man in boxing yet is nowhere to be found when someone calls him out. Wants to "wait" on Ward yet he is about to turn 34. If he isn't a product of HBO, I don't know what is!
Ward is fighting at Lt Heavy in his next fight. Why doesn't he want Kovalev?
Why does he, his team and his fans stay quiet when Kovalev calls him out (like he did last week), yet the mere mention of GGG/Ward and all the Ward fans comes out of the woodwork, Ward and his team come out calling GGG. But with Kovalev? Silence. Complete silence.
You and everyone knows Ward would get slaughtered by Kovalev. It wouldn't even be a competitive fight. Admit it.
edit:
After doing some digging, apart from last week, Kovalev has been calling out Ward for a while, Kovalev's trainer has been calling out Ward insisting that Kovalev KO's Ward and Kathy Duva wants to make a Ward/Kovalev fight. Yet no peep from Ward or his fans. But when GGG and his trainer do the same with Ward, all the Ward fans come out crying for a match.
The thing that separates Ward from GGG as far as people saying someone is ducking someone is that Ward doesn't go around saying he's the most feared guy in boxing from 154-172, which we've heard GGG make that claim. That's GGG's unofficial title but when he gets called out for it, he has an excuse. Ward hasn't said that Kovalev is afraid to fight him, which GGG's team has said about Ward. I think what's pissing Ward off is they constantly bring up his name but yet don't have the balls to back it up.
Also what kills me about when people say boxing is dying and the UFC is the next big thing don't know their history. Boxing isn't dying, it just isn't a household thing in the USA like it use to be. But worldwide, I daresay it has grown. You see how boxing is treated in Russia, the UK, and Asia. They are killing it there. The UFC is TRYING to get there but isn't catching on like people thought it would. Also, when people say that Mayweather's fights are boring haven't watched a UFC fight. Half of the fights are just guys rolling around on the mat trying to get position. How many times does the crowd boo their fights? A lot!!
That's why I can't talk to dude. He sees what he wants to see. Can GGG fight? Sure but he really hasn't been tested and has only fought one "slick" boxer to date, an ESPN fighter who brings no money but yet Lara does nothing for him. Lara is a name on his resume. I honestly believe he'd beat Lara but I think Lara would give him the scare of his life. I also think he'd beat Hopkins but his team doesn't want to chance it. When it comes to Ward, I think he'd get his arse handed to him quite easily. GGG's defense is seriously suspect and he leaves himself wide open for shots. All this talk of him fighting Froch............I actually think Froch will KO him. Froch has a strong chin and one punch power and will give him serious problems as well. GGG is not the monster people are making him out to be.
Thanks for proving my point.
Just like Ward, the name Kovalel isn't in your vocabulary. Is Ward and his fans that terrified of him?

Has Ward called out the light heavyweight division? He never has. GGG has called out the Super Middleweight division but hasn't liked the responses.
