    That's a Good question .

    Whenever he comes back , I want to see him against Top opposition only .

    Nothing less will be tolerated .

    No reason Golovkin can't face him now lol

    Hopefully he establishes dominance at 175 too.

    GGG said he doesn't want to fight Ward due to him not having "PPV status". I'm a big fan of GGG but it is a blatant duck. He said less than half a year ago he'd fight anyone and now he doesn't want anything to do with Ward, just like Froch is avoiding a rematch yet think he is the best SMW. I accept Ward isn't the biggest money fight but don't talk **** and then go back on it

    The fight will actually happen now most likely, Roc will get Wards name back out there -and Gary Shaw and K2 have a very good working relationship.

    establishing dominance at 175 over the next few years could be mission impossible

    They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

    presumably all involved have come to an agreement.

    hope he fights soon.

    That will be a very bad idea considering the fact that he's been inactive for almost two years now.

    This always bothered me to. Fighters act like theyre not still going to make huge money. If they win the money getts bigger. If youre confident enough to talk about it than just do it. Boxing may be a business, but more fighters need to think about their legacies and the money will be there. This of course includes Ward too.

    175 is starting to heat up.

    Lots of good fights to be had up there

    Will be interesting to know if Roc Nation fighters will be tied down to HBO or Showtime.
    Hopefully they can fight on both

    So all that foreplay ultimately did actually lead to something. (this was rumored pretty much since RNS branched into boxing)
