@krackdagawd what weight does he max out at?

I always said he was too big for rigo.....could he go to 147 to face pac?

he's like 5'6'' so I can maybe see him at welter one day the problem is he gotta gradually get there though, nikka was at 126 a hot second ago and nikkas talking about 140 already when he just hit 130 :dame:. I think going up in weight is something that needs to be done carefully even for a "special" fighter like Loma unless he is using "help". Dudes like Pacman got us spoiled w nikkas just going up in weight like nothing for the little guys a couple of pounds make a huge difference.

1.mostly everyone says that the fight was close unless extremely biased.

2.did u happen to ask jeff if ward was p4p no1? I know roger was acting like ward wasn't but he always act like that when he thinks someone wants to compare another guy to Floyd...lol:dead:
Nah, I didn't get to ask much. When he comes back for Waseem's next bout I'll try to ask more...

Also wanted to say that it's a damn shame how Pakistan is not supporting Waseem. I've said it before, but sponsors play a major role when you're not popular and Khan needs to reach out...

According to Andre Ward, we fans could have, indeed, would have, seen a super-fight between he and middleweight king Gennady Golovkin this year had Team-GGG been willing to take the 50-50 fight that was offered to them. Speaking with TMZ Sports, Ward, now the unified light-heavyweight champion, said Golovkin was not willing to fight him until 2018, so he made the decision to move up in weight and challenge Sergey Kovalev.

“I think the fight with Golovkin should have happened before the Kovalev fight,” Ward said. “That fight was talked about, our teams had some correspondence, and it just didn’t work out. I’m not here to expose them or throw them under the bus or nothin’ like that. But I will be honest with the fans because there is a lot of confusion out there. They didn’t want the fight. They flipped it and said we were ducking and dodging. If you read the e-mail [of an offer for the fight] it was clear – we gave them a 50-50 split so there wouldn’t be any arguments.”

Ward goes on to say how the plan would have been for he and GGG to each box a tune-up – as he and Kovalev did before meeting earlier this month – “then let’s get it on right after.” But Ward says Team-GGG wanted Golovkin to unify the middleweight titles first (he still has the WBO title in his sights) “and then maybe [the fight can be made] in 2018.” Ward says he was in no way interested in waiting that long, “so right after we got off the phone with them I made the decision to move up and fight Kovalev.”
