Golovkin was willing to fight @ 168 lbs against cash-cows like JCC Jr and Froch

    It has to worth the risk and JJC and Froch were big draws. Ward is an obscure fighter in terms of popularity. And let's face it JJC/Froch vs GGG would've been better action packed fights than Ward vs GGG.:good

    Ward tried to get a rematch w/ Froch, and a fight w/ Jr too, for the exact same reason. Ward couldn't draw flies to himself if he was covered in honey and dogsh*t.

    GGG and his team want no part of Ward because he is far to good for GGG. Ward dominated the Super Middleweight division beating all comers. That is a fact.

    Atm Canelo and probably CEJ would be the best money fights for GGG.

    It's risk vs reward and Ward was a big risk and low reward. Squeeze your f'cking peanut brain !:thumbsup

    Ward would probably beat GGG. So what. He's 2 divisions above him and is way way bigger. If he had the drawing power of a Canelo or Floyd GGG would be chasing him.

    The problem with Ward is that because he is so talented he thinks that makes him a superstar. It doesn't. Hes a great boxer but there is no money to be made fighting him.

    "Ali had huge hands"...

    '...and Mom huge holes, after meeting Ali.'

    'What type of loooser pretends his crack fiend mum met muhammad Ali ???'

    'To most he was known as the greatest to blizzy he was known as the ventriloquist.
    Blizzy's mom would sit on his lap and Ali's really big hands would magically disappear up her dress.'

    'He's doing an impression of Blizzy's mum when she laid eyes on those mammoth digits.'

    :hi:     NALLEGE/Mr Pibb !!!:hey:lol::lol:

    3G MUST face Ward in his first fight at 168, right? So glad you are consistent with that view and Ward's 3 tunes ups before facing Kov at 175. :roll:
