Abel Sanchez: We're not interested in Ward at this time

Link of where GGG called out Ward? Also why did Ward-Dawson agree to a catchweight if Dawson was willing to go down to 168? That would have benefited Ward and he wouldn't of had to give Dawson the extra 2 pounds. I think you are talking some nonsense.

Also, you expect GGG to just jump up to 168 and fight Ward [in his first fight at a new weight], probably in Oakland? I'd at least want some leverage if I am giving up 8 pounds to the champion.

Hell look at who Floyd and Pacquaio fought when they moved up in weight for the first time. Floyd fought a C-level fighter in Gatti and Pacquaio fought a C-level fighter in Diaz. I would think GGG would at least want to get used to the weight before challenging a fighter like Ward.

 

Floyd's first fight @ 135 was against Jose Lius Castillo - the #1 lightweight at that time.

Floyd's first fight @ 154 was against de la Hoya - the #1 jr middle at that time.

 

I agree, it is way to soon. Ward would beat GGG pretty good. Sanchez is smart by not throwing GGG to Ward, which he knows GGG would lose.

 

Dawson-Ward was at 170 right?

 

Stevenson said he would come down to 168 to fight Ward, but Ward will not fight Stevenson at 168! I want to see Golovkin beat Martinez, Quillin, Geale, Murray, Sturm, etc., then he will have an even bigger name. If Ward is so good, then why not fight Stevenson or Kovalev?

 

Dawson-Ward was at 168 ... if it was at 170, Ward would've won Dawson's belt

 

Since when does a trainer pick fights anyway? That is up to the manager and promoter.
