    Get Mayweathers baby dick from in between your teeth.

    If Mayweather started molesting children you'd support him.

    Golovkin is only leaving 160 for PPV fights. Let him unify 160 and do what he wants.

    Calm down Nay_Sayer, you've been saying the same **** for months. At least try to have a decent discussion. I still think his jab would be effective. Competition or not, it's heavy enough to cut and bruise fairly easy.

    PBF was already a star. He did good PPV numbers with with Gatti Zab and Baldo. Both Oscar and Oscar needed each other to do big numbers.

    Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he wasn't but we all know DLH was the main star in boxing at that time. Even though he was past his prime.

    What I am saying though is whilst Mayweather was a very good draw, fighting and beating DLH is what made him mainstream.

    Ward has the height and reach on Triple Duck. Plus, he has the better jab. I don't think Golovkin wins a boxing match with Ward. Andre takes him to school. Triple Duck only has a puncher's chance...

    ggg is no match for andre ward and he knows it. he might as well stay at 160 where he can build a stellar klitshkoesque resume of beating overmatched bums in a weak division.

    So why doesn't Ward move up to light heavyweight?

    He just had a fight at light heavy didn't he? He's also the champ at 168.

    Hopkins cleaned up his division yet stayed at Middleweight for a very long time, Hagler made a career there, Kostya Tszyu made a career at Light Welterweight and the examples are endless.

    If Ward is comfortable at 168 then he's going to stay there till his body can't handle the weight anymore. Moving up just for the sake of doing so is a foolish move especially when his division still has many options worth considering.

    Golovkin already made it clear in an interview(http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?p=16405870#) that he's staying at Middleweight till he can't make the weight anymore and doesn't plan to move up for anyone. Only ******s would consider this a "duck" when Golovkin is clearly a Middleweight. Same thing can be said about the ******s claiming Ward is ducking Kovalev, Stevenson and other Light Heavyweights when he's clearly a Super Middleweight.

    His opponent failed to make weight and was a Light Heavyweight. It's pathetic that Ward barely gets credit for that win.
