    Source? Ward will never take it, he is not nor has been ever easy to deal with when it comes to negotiations. He will never take 40%

    Chad Dawson is the one who said he was willing to come down to 168. If Ward came out and said he was willing to come down to 164, there would be no issue. I'm not sure I follow your logic with Paul Smith. Both guys had to move up in weight.

    Idk if k2 is asking for GBP to give BHOP to them to prepare for WARD while ward tunes up.
    Idk if it's Lemieux first, then BHOP then ward or if it's Lemieux ward then BHOP gets winner.

    All I know is all 3 parties are very close to making mega fight using GGG Lemieux BHOP and ward.

    K2 is confident that GGGs next 3 fights will be better than his first 30.

    Where is this $8MM supposed to come from for Golovkin? I believe his highest payday was around $2MM.

    My logic is Ward had two fights that were catchweights that he was the beneficiary.

    Dawson was dragged down and Smith dragged up, Ward might have to be the one to come out of his comfort zone for once.

    The Abraham example is an excellent one. not only that he got into the Super 6 to face the best the division offered. Abraham chased greatness.

    I wonder what would be the reaction of the GolovIdiot troop if Ward demanded a 171.5lb catchweight for the Kovalev fight...

    It seems like you're saying that because Dawson volunteered to fight Ward at 168 and because both Ward and Smith fought each other 4 lbs above their weight class, that Ward should have to fight Golovkin at 164? That logic simply doesn't add up in my view. I don't see how your premises are strong enough to support that sort of conclusion. Ward is not volunteering to come down in weight and Ward and Golovkin don't fight in the same weight class. If you're actually saying that moving up to 172 benefited Ward and negatively effected Smith, than it appears that you're saying Ward doesn't belong at 168; this of course would make a 164 lb CW that much more unrealistic.

    I think it's a reasonable request. GGG has a lot more opposition out there for him than Ward does.

    Why would Hagler have moved up? Different circumstances.

    LOL.

    There is a W I D E disparity in skill here. In reality, they aren't even close in that department...
