    From your own article:

    "Loeffler said his emailed reply to Ward's camp was that if Ward was still at 168 pounds in early 2017,
    This content is protected
    at that point."

    Well, well, well. We could have already seen this, but Ward was all like:

    “I’m not going to 68,” Ward said following a press conference to promote his rematch with Kovalev. “That’s out. I heard something [that Hunter said]. I didn’t [see] the whole thing. But I’m not going [back to 168]. I said it before I moved up, and I wasn’t playing."

    Could have made more money fighting Golovkin than Kovalev ... instead, Ward ran for the hills ... :deal:

    Why was he more than happy to face Chavez at 168, but only interested in the drained corpse of Ward at 164?

    Draws get to make concessions. Think Chavez jr would have agreed to 164 when he was already struggling w/ 168?

    And Ward wasn't struggling to make 168? There's no way Ward could've made 164 and they knew it.

    Ward made Kovalev quit he bullied the bully and had him mentally beat before the bell even rang.

    I've asked this question so many times now I'm bored of asking it without getting an answer - why was it ok for Ward to have two acclimatising fights at 175 before taking on beastly Kovalev but not for Golovkin to test the waters with better fighters in JCC Jr. And Froch before taking on beastly Ward?

    Ward had a 4 fight contract with HBO with 1 one those fights being against Kovalev at 175. Had GGG done something similar then no one would give a damn about him having some tune up fights at 168 before fighting Ward there.

    No they didnt specify Chavez or Froch it was a broad challenge, if they were being honest they would have specified them.

    Its bad when you are willing to do it for some fighters but not the best fighter at 168. It was them who first proposed the 50-50 then when it was close to being made they said it wasnt a fair deal.

    Ward accepted GGGs 154-168. GGGs team moonwalked from that fight.
