    Light years more. He not an American, and more people talk about him.

    GGG is also a boxer, Ward is a wrestler who sometimes punches.

    GGG is the NEW, Lucien Bute!

    Just like Bute, GGG's management avoids having him exposed before they can cash a big pay check.

    I like GGG, but he should've never spouted off about 154-175lbs if he didn't have those intentions.

    They want no part of Andre Ward, understandably as he'd lose to Ward.

    BUT, the fact that they're campaigning at 160lbs and have done so as world champion since 2010, and has yet to knock off one of the MW kingpins, speaks volumes about him and his management.

    Out of the woodwork comes light middleweight after light middleweight, yet... every middleweight is scared.


    Apparently. :patsch

    This guy is managed worse than Fedor Emelianenko.

    Bad bad management

    And should shut the hell up about 154-168.

    He did actually want to fight Rodrigues and Oosthuizen at 168. They both refused.(According to Tom Leffler's twitts) But then, when he started to get some recognition and fan love he decided to stay at 160 and unify. So you can't say that when GGG said he waned to fight anyone 154-168 he didn't mean it.

    Ward couldn't be more right in this interview. He's spot on.

    "We will fight anyone from 154>168"

    How about Ward?

    "We ain't ready for this man"

    Overeem when Overeem was at his peak

    Coming off the K-1 win, win vs Lesnar. Even before that actually.

    They repeatedly tried to get them to fight. Fedor's management- "No fight with Alistair"

    :patsch:rofl

    There's a difference between "i'll fight anybody from 154 to 168" and "i'll move up as soon as Ward feigns to call me out even though he's not available".
