Why is it pointless, Ward is a definite big name compared to his opponents thus far and would attract a slightly larger crowd, it's also a fight against a true elite of the sport. I think Ward's too much for him but Golovkin won't be schooled. It's definitely the worst pick of the big names in terms of challenge and reward but he wants the fight and GGG complains nobody wants to fight him.
Unifying the belts is more important than a fight with Ward. He is at the forefront of a Lemieux, Canelo, Cotto fight. He's closer to those names than ever before. Why in the world would he go up to 168 when he'll most likely be taking on the Canelo/Cotto winner early next year? It makes 0 sense especially when you factor in how Ward is a 0 draw.
Because he knows it doesn't look good for GGG if he fights Ward in fact GGG will most lilkely lose so he doesn't want to see that. Just like he didn't want the PBF-#48 fight either.
Canelo and Cotto have bigger fish to fry, Golovkin doesn't bring **** to the table and non of the guys will give him a shot. Think about, Its been three years now since Golovkin fans been talking about him unifying the titles.
I didn't say he should face Ward next, and he's been trying to unify for YEARS. Canelo/Cotto are not going to give him a shot.
Boxing_disaster is a joke. Wants Ward to move up and fight Kovalev wants Rigo to move up to fight Loma doesn't want GGG to move up to fight Ward. Hilarious.:rofl
WBC says GGG will get Canelo/Cotto winner. The president has said this numerous times recently. You can even check his Twitter. Canelo and GB have said they'll fight GGG in the spring of next year aka after Cotto fight.
ward is 2 weight classes bigger then ggg naturally if he really wants to fight ggg he should come down to 160 he should fight kovalev
