He's been down once to Darnell Boone who in turn flattened stevenson and dropped Kovalev aswell

I’ve said it before, so I’ll say it again…

Forget Andre Ward… if the Marvel & DC super-powered characters existed in the real-world, Gennady Golovkin would easily destroy Superman and the Hulk in consecutive bouts on the very same night, with one arm tied behind his back!

An even better idea, we should use GGG to keep the peace rather than risking the lives of members of the armed forces!

Hurt bad vs Kenny Kost too

Funny, that fight seems to have been taken down. I'm sure I watched it on YouTube just a few weeks ago. Interesting.

Nobody can survive current Golovkin unless they are successfully playing their game. Survival mode is a prescription for getting stopped.

Does he do chin training? Hook weights up to a goatee and flex his bottom lip?

Ward is like Waldimir Klitchko, he just became harder to hit and learned to completely nullify his opponent through craft & fouling.

at middleweight: ggg crushes ward badly, because ward would be a a bit dyhardated and gggs power is for real

at super middleweight: right now ward uds ggg. maybe a somewhat more experienced gg would win at sm

but the ref plays an important role in this fight.

if there is a ref in it who has nothing against crabbing, holding hugging, holding while punching, simply dirty boxing and lets all excessive go, than ward uds ggg

but if is a ref who goes by the rules and deductes points for excessive hugging and holding than ward would easily have 2-3 point deductions, along with gg winning by his own skills.

tough contest.

middleweight wont happen, thats right.

but depending if ggg becomes a ppv star or not, than a catch weight would make sense. because ward can get with nobody a ppv event at super midd., imagine ggg beating the likes of cotto or canelo and becoming a big name star. than ggg-ward as an catch weight would make financielly very much sense.



Obviously it would take place at 168, Ward couldn't make Middleweight and suggest he would even try is absurd, he was a Middleweight in the am's as a teenager and was competing as a Light Heavyweight as an amateur before turning pro.

Does it mean that by beating him Golovkin will also beat Hopkins ?
