Golovkin's Promoter: We'd Fight Ward At 164, 50-50 Split

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

except he didn't UD Smith he stopped him I lost for even replying to this dumb shyt.

Froch is/was a p4p guy, Dawson was a p4p guy coming off one of the best Ws of his career.

@ you laughing at Smith like :shookboy: resume isn't full of a bunch of Smith ass nikkas

Wins from 8 years ago matter today because?

its ok when Ward drains Dawson though right

its a business, ofc he wouldnt mind as much vs Froch or Chavez when he would be making more money

lets keep it real, these days GGG is a bigger draw than Ward...

And just for people to STOP bringing up Ward vs Dawson and blaming it on Ward:

Dawson's trainer at the time, John Scully, said it was Dawson himself who brought up the idea of fighting Ward at 168 pounds. After Dawson's rematch victory over Bernard Hopkins on April 28, 2012, Dawson asked for the fight with Ward during an interview with HBO's Max Kellerman.

Scully conceded that Dawson had great trouble cutting the weight for the Ward fight, but said Dawson brought it up first.

"I didn't know they were talking about a fight with Ward, because I don't get involved in the business end of it with any fighters," Scully told Yahoo! Sports. "But after we beat Hopkins, I was standing next to him in the ring when he was interviewed by Kellerman and he said he wanted to fight Ward at 168. I was like, 'OK. That's interesting.' But he said it and it was the first time I'd heard it."

At the 5:14 mark of the video below of the Dawson-Hopkins post-fight news conference, Dawson is asked if he'd go to 168 to fight Ward.

Right now, you know, I'd fight anybody, 168, 175. You know? I'm not saying I prefer to come out of my comfort zone, which is 175, but I could make 168. I come into camp at about 178 pounds. I know I look bigger than what everybody thinks, but I could make 168, or I could stick around at 175.

As Scully said, he brought the topic up with Kellerman on HBO in the ring after the fight. The following is a transcript of the final part of his in-ring interview.

KELLERMAN: You are now once again the light heavyweight champion of the world. You've gotten rid of all the old fighters in the division but there's some new interesting young fighters here. Any interest you in particular?

DAWSON: I mean I would love a fight with Andre Ward. I mean I think that would make for a great fight.

KELLERMAN: Super middleweight champion.

DAWSON: Super middleweight champion. I could make 168 or we could do it at 175 —a catch weight— it don't matter to me. I wanna make my statement known. I want everybody to know who I am. I wanna go after the big dogs.

It's beyond foolish for Dawson to try to blame someone else for his problems with weight, when he repeatedly said publicly that he would have no issues making 168 pounds.

"Im done"


Unlike the #SSShookBoys...we didnt need to drain him in order to beat him. Dawson did it to himself, we just took him up on his offer


Dawson's own trainer is telling you that


168 or no fight

Man ward fights ggg at fukking 154 he whoops on him. If yu know boxing AT ALL you know his style is disastrous fr GGG. Id say ggg has a punchers chance, but we've never seen knock a dude down from the inside so nah he only has a Hail Mary chance at any weight at any time any place against SOG. Boxing 101 right here.

 

[GzUp]

his power should move up then to 168

It should, but u already know the answer to that breh

I'm in bizarro land the nikka with the best resume at 168 desperately needs a big fight and not the 34 yr old with Murray as his best win doesn't

Forget the fact that Ward literally got paid 2x what GGG did his last fight, facts don't matter to shookboys

 

[krackdagawd]

Wins from 8 years ago matter today because?

Because were discussing a guy who has NEVER fought that level of competition in a decade.

Ward (27-0,14 KOs), whose purse is $2 million (plus the fine money), will be fighting for the first time in 19 months. He did not have to have his weight checked on Saturday.

GGG purse was somewhere in the boxing thread I don't care enough to look but he just recently got his first million dollar payday.

Name all the guys at that level of competition who have offered him a fight. I'm guessing the list is quite long.

Your right breh Team GGG couldn't find ONE good fighter from154-168 for 10 years

Poor GGG has the worst luck Khan and Ward went to the same olympics but through some heavenly miracle managed to somehow have 3x the resume he does. must be witchcraft

List all the elite fighters that offered him a fight. Should be easy since he's just an overrated hype job, right? Everyone wants an easy fight these days, so pick someone like GGG.

Look at you in your feelings who called him an overrated hype job?

What's more likely? all of boxing avoiding GGG for 10 years or him wanting to feast on bums until his mid 30s and proceed to ask for big fights now. Everyone in his age bracket is focusing on the 2nd part of their career and he still in the 1st

Notice how GGG ain't calling out DeGOAT or Eubank, Jr? He doesn't want that work, mate.

He's doing all this talking about Ward and Froch, like we all don't know that he's gonna fight Sam Soliman or Javier Castellejo next. fukking wanker!
