    IMO

    Andre Ward is a god damn liar

    "I will fight anyone 168-175"

    Then avoids Kovalev

    Because at the time of the interview, had his mind on other fighters. Just show him the money and he will fight anybody. And probably win.

    pretty much that. Ward is a bore yet thinks he should dictate all the terms of it.

    Perfect example of how stupid people think this thread.

    Chavez brings more money to the table. Boxing is a business, all fights are decided based upon risk and reward. The risk of fighting Ward isn't balanced by the reward.

    FYI, this is the reason when fights don't happen 99.9% of the time.

    GGG knows that Wards style will make him look bad.

    there's no doubt triple G believes he could beat the **** out of anyone. his people may have doubts about some fighters but not him.

    It's about the $

    He could get paid at least double what he would get for fighting ward

    Not saying anything about GGG anymore. Just gonna sit back an observe. If his career turns out to be a disappointment lacking signature fights, blame his fans. 32 years old, and barely has a resume.

    We'll see though. Time will tell. If by 2016 GGG still doesn't have at least one great win, there should be a problem

    GGG-Chavez is likely a PPV fight and GGG could possibly negotiate the lion's share of the purse.

    GGG-Ward likely isn't a PPV fight and Ward would likely require control of all of the key negotiation terms including split and location.

    You're crazy if you think GGG would get or could even negotiate for the Lions share. Jr is a draw. Regardless if its just because of his name. Hes a draw
