Yes, easily. Hold on, here it .. uh .. comes. Well. Lets start. Ward is an inactive fighter, who didn't fight for roughly three years after beating the ATGs .. no the three, undisputed GOATs of boxing history. Froch, Kessler and Abraham. :rofl So. Golovkin had his HBO debut in 2012. He calls out Ward, Martinez, Floyd. No one one wants to fight. Ward even became a commentator of one of Golovkin's fights, against Macklin, instead of stepping into the ring to actually fight Golovkin. Meanwhile, he had a comeback fight against some guy called Rodriguez. :rofl Golovkin asks for the fight, calls him out after every victory. Nothing happens. Actually, something happened!! Ward became a LHW. Two weight classes above GGG. Meanwhile, GGG fought in MW, gaining a fanbase, having an aim. Unifying all the belts at 160. He got his first PPV event, as a Kazakh fighter, in the US, against a Canadian and he sold MSG out, had millions of fans watching his fight and selling 150k of PPV buys. Great for his first PPV event. :good etter than RJJ's, Hopkin's and other US fighters achieved. Ward fought Paul Smith. :rofl Ok, before the PPV event, actually, a few days before it was signed. Ward suddenly wants to fight GGG after three years of being called out. Don't forget, he's a LHW. A LHW who said he needs two, three step up fights before facing someone like GGG or Kovalev. So, what would you do? Fighting for a MW belt on PPV or fighting Ward at LHW for nothing, who wouldn't fight anyway? GGG's team is very smart, great businessmen. They knew that Ward only talks. Instead of fighting on the Canelo vs. Cotto undercard, he got inured again or quit for whatever reasons. The opponent he wanted to fight wasn't even accepted by the boxing commision.:rofl Ward is a very easy win for Goovkin. Saying, to fight at 164, knocking him out within few rounds nd retiring him would be better for his aim of unifying all the MW belts. If he goes to 168 or even LHW, he wouldn't go back to his own division anymore. This would mean, no fight against Canelo on PPV. This would mean, he can't go down like Canelo wants him to come down. So, again. Becoming a legend, becoming rich by unifying all the titles at 160, being a PPV fighter vs. fighting a nobody no one cares about, who gets knocked out within a few rounds, for no titles or whatever, who is two weight classes above?
Neither are okay. GGG ducked Ward. Canelo is ducking GGG. The Ward fight is not going to happen anymore as Ward is moving up to Light Heavyweight. Canelo is possible. Why don't you want to see the fight? Are you an imbecile?
The red head is a coward. Stop trying to defend him..The middleweight division been around over a 100 years and the limit is 160. Period.
145 lbs was ok when their last hero was winning 147 belts there....150 was also ok ....its funny i saw someone call pac an "8 division world champion" today here....when he won a vacant belt at a cw....hmmmmmmmm
The thing that's crazy about this situation is that Canelo is FIGHTING AT MIDDLEWEIGHT. That's crazy to me. GGG called out guys in 168, and he didn't fight Ward which is a duck in my book, but he's also not fighting at 168 and calling himself the middleweight champion. LOL. You know what I'm sayin?
yer right ...ggg wasnt not fighting at 168...he was just trying to fight there....trying to cherrypick froch or chavez
Nobody gives a **** about those 8 division bull****. Most divisions are bull**** anyway, including the 154 and 168 division. Pac was a phenom who you can't appreciate because you're bias. It's crazy though because you were the first one to say Pac was on drugs, yet you won't say anything even though Mayweather was CAUGHT RED HANDED. You tell me, WHAT HIGH LEVEL ELITE ATHLETE has the T to E ratio's of a 153 year old man???? Floyd cheated. His entire career has an asterisk, at least anything past the Ortiz fight.
when you put it this way and start comparing the situations youll hear the triple duck superfans say "i dont count pacs title at 150..." and you wont hear them talk about the cotto fight.....and "ya i wasnt ok with 164 either" but i bet if we traced some steps and went back wed find them making excuses for ggg asking for the 164 and see them talking pac up like a god
