Golovkin Says Time is Not Right For Andre Ward Clash

WBA/IBO/WBC-interim middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (31-0, 28KOs) says a fight with Andre Ward (27-0, 14KOs), the WBA champion and king at super middleweight, would be a much bigger fight in the future.

Golovkin is first looking to unify the middleweight division. He faces Martin Murray on February 21st. The next step is a mandatory shot at the full WBC crown, which is currently held by Miguel Cotto. The WBO title is held by Andy Lee and the IBF belt rests with Jermain Taylor.

Ward has been inactive since November 2013 and is still heavily involved in a legal dispute with his promoter, Goossen Promotions.

"Ward is great champion. I think that in the future this fight will be much bigger and that would be better for everyone. Of course, right now, I'm ready and he's ready but at this moment the fight doesn't mean that much [in terms of money and pay-per-view]," Golovkin said.

I had to edit it so I can post the smiley lol


GGG just said said this also:

When asked by Round by Round Boxing if he’d be willing to move up to the 168 pound division, Golovkin said “Yes, for pay-per-view fight. Chavez Jr, he’s a pay-per-view fighter. Andre Ward, he’s not a pay-per-view fighter. Maybe in the future, yeah,” Golovkin said.

So, it's obvious he doesnt want any trouble

There better not be any disagreements about this. Especially when people backed up the same point when Floyd said this to Margarito.

How he older than #SOG and still a lil nikka

Dude why is SOG trying to go after Lil GGG.

I think SOG is a tremendously skilled boxer, he could easily go up to LHW and take the WBC title from Adonis. Then SOG and Kovalev could do a PPV, that would be the big fight to make in 2016 after everything else is sorted out in 2015.

For the same reason GGG is going after "lil Canelo"

Canelo is wanting to come up to MW to capture the WBC title, beat Cotto and make tons of cash doing it. GGG wants to unify all the titles the division. SOG just wants to pick on smaller dudes, he is fully capable of fighting at LHW.

Kind of like GGG was willing to go up to 168 for Chavez Jr

 

[Pimp]

Andre Ward would be popular if he actually fought. He's basically gonna ruin his career being inactive.

Yup, and he does a horrible job at that.

Damn, Ward has really never headlined a PPV................... Somebody at showtime missed a prime opportunity to have the Super 6 final on PPV. And Dawson red hot off of beating Hopkins against Ward, not on PPV? Why HBO?

I don't really understand nor know the business side of the risk/reward between fighting on PPV vs. fighting on HBO/Showtime, I'd appreciate it if someone broke this down for me.

However, this dude Golovkin has NEVER been on PPV, so he can kill that reasoning. Plain and simple, he knows he'd have a much tougher fight with Ward and would rather take a presumably easier fight with Chavez at a higher weight than what he (GGG) already fights comfortably at.

With that said.............. Chavez might actually generate more money right now, but we don't know that for sure, both Ward and Chavez have been inactive. What's NOT up for debate is that Ward is the bigger prize, legacy wise, and would be no doubt favored to win.
