    But I like that Lara is willing to go up to 160 to fight GGG.

    Virgil hunter said canelo will gas 2nd half oof the fight or sooner said angulo will be on canelo every second od every round and of canelo doesnt knock angulo out with in six ( since he says 2nd half canelo will gas and lose power) it will be a wrap for canelo

    Lets be honest "Floyd's Poll" is his cover for picking Khan point blank period. One of my favorite fighters of all time just brilliant in the ring but if he thinks hes fooling anyone hes not... Lara vs GGG good fight but GGG by decapitation if Angulo could get to Lara then GGG will.

    I lost mad respect for GGG after this " i'll fight anyone from 154-168lb. Ward told him hes game now all the sudden GGG's trainer "the ward fight will be bigger if we wait" GGG aint getting any younger and he said himself he would go to 168 and take on all GGG ducking ward so he can keep feasting on tomato cans and 154.. GGG ---> Canelo 2.0. All Canelo did was feast on ww's and jww.

    Khan is a tougher matchup style wise anyway but neither pose any real threat. It's several tougher fights at 147 and 154.

    GGG is a 160 pound fighter

    There's not enough money in a Ward fight to risk losing going up in weight

    I dnt like him calling out Floyd but I get it

    GGG himself said he would fight "ANYONE" from 154-168 he said he would come down and go up. Lara has called him out at 154 now all the sudden cant fight there because lara is with showtime, then why the ? you got floyds ? all in your mouth calling him out at 154 hes with showtime??? GGG is a another hype job, he has skills but he has turn down 2 great fights call me a skeptic. Also why is he calling out Floyd if not for a payday??? You just said yourself hes a 160lber Floyd is a 147 naturally who goes up only and I mean only when the money is right. ODL( King of the hill at the time), Cotto(3rd largest PPV), Canelo (easy money hype job). Why is he ducking Lara thou? Lara has a suspect chin should be easy win for him.

    My ? he said he would meet Floyd at 154

    Floyd has a belt at 154 and is the best fighter in the world....Everybody wants that shot

    I don't take that seriously

    GGG would whip Lara's ass

    He want Martinez, why would he be worried about Lara

    Ward's Trainer: Can Golovkin Do That With The A-League? - Boxing News

    By Rick Reeno

    The anticipation is quickly building for a potential match between two of the most dominant fighters in the sport, WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (27-0, 14KOs) and IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (29-0, 26KOs). Both fighters are being showcased on HBO, and the network is very interested in televising a high profile fight between the two unbeaten champions.

    Virgil Hunter, trainer of Ward, praises Golovkin for doing exactly what everyone expects him to do in the ring.

    "I give the kid credit. The guys he is fighting, he's supposed to knock them out and he's doing that. I give him all the credit in the world. The bottom line is, one day we hope to fight him and then he'll come into the reality of things. But until then my hat goes off to them," Hunter told BoxingScene.com.

    However, Hunter is not overly impressed with Golovkin's level of opposition. In a recent BoxingScene interview, Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez said his boxer was open to the idea of facing Ward - but only when Ward's team was going to negotiate with them on "equal terms."

    Hunter, as he broke down the professional achievements of both men, explained exactly why he believes the two undefeated Olympians are not standing on equal footing.

    "I don't think Adama would go a full fight with us. I don't think Rosado would go a full fight us, and I don't think Macklin would go the distance with us. The thing is, Gennady has 29 fights....we went against the best in the world, not pretenders or contenders, but the best in the world at 20 fights. We came into the Super Six with 20 fights, against Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham, Carl Froch," Hunter said.

    "At one time, and you have to remember, Andre was 17-0 with 12 or 13 knockouts and everyone thought he was a puncher. But then he went into the A-league. Even at 18-0, he fought Edison Miranda when he was still a very dangerous man. He then had an injury and took a tuneup, and then went right into a fight with Kessler. I think if you look back at Gennady, at who he was fighting at 18 fights [Milton Nunez], I think we'd have a KO too. I think whoever he fought in his last fight, we'd have a KO. But we went to Mikkel Kessler, we went to Abraham, we went to Froch, to Sakio Bika. We went into the A-league, so really there is no comparison."

    "The question is? Can he maintain that [knockout streak] against the A-league? But, I don't consider the middleweight division a strong division at all. When Andre was in the super middleweight division, at 18-0, it was murderer's row. At middleweight, nobody has fought anybody there [a reference to how none of the four champions have fought each other]."
