^ I don't expect the Martinez-Cotto winner to fight him. Perpetuating the problem and you'll see a bunch of fans on here and other places still attesting that he hasn't fought anyone to earn it. That's even if he destroys Geale. Geale will be said to be a good opponent until Geale is dispatched properly, just like Macklin was. 3G is exactly what Margarito was purported to be in the 2005-2008 Welterweight era.
I doubt that Triple Duck will have 1 punch KO power at 168. Hell, an argument can be made that he doesn't even have 1 punch KO power at 160.
Tell him to fight Ward then he wont have haters, cant say ill fight anyone from 154-168 then duck the best one and he ducked Lara
The payday the last guy ward fought ( Edwin rodriguez ) was more than Golovkin has ever made in his whole career.:verysad
GGG's punching power at a higher weight is to be determined. However, we do know that Ward doesn't have one punch KO power. Hell, I doubt he has 3 or 4 punch KO power. Would you say Darnell Boone has 1 punch power? He had Ward looking like a drunk trying to walk home in an Earthquake. No wonder Ward wants no part of Kovalev or Stevenson @175.
Punching power is less than meaningless if you can't hit the target. Ask Ernie Shavers and Edison Miranda. Skills pay the bills, and in that department Ward has no peer above 154lbs - Triple Duck included...
Its just a matter of time before this hype job is exposed for what he is. Just like Lucien Bute battleship, GGG battleship will be torpedoed whenever decides to stop chasing old men and 154 pounders.
