    But then he ducked both Stevenson and Kovalev.

    From May 12, 2012: [url]http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7916213/chad-dawson-andre-ward-bout-works[/url]

    Andre Ward "I am ready to fight the best 168- and 175-pounders that are out there," Ward told ESPN.com in a recent interview. "At this point, a big fight at 175 is interesting to me. I'm willing to fight anyone at '68 or '75."

    Ward will move up when he wants to, GGG better do it his next fight though or he's ducking.

    GGG wants a more lucrative fight with Chavez or Cotto.

    Ward isn't a draw. He's no PPV fighter, he just headbutts and holds.

    Is there any proof he got to choose who got into the supersix?

    Kessler and Abraham where favourites for the tournament.

    Like I said, the difference is GGG has a bunch of a no names on his resume. We know Ward's the real deal already. The jury is still out on GGG

    Once you prove yourself do you no longer need to fight the best? Or seek out new challenges.

    That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying if you prove yourself it helps your argument a bit, you could have a little more leverage to make or not make certain fights.

    GGG hasn't faced anyone of merit, and seems scared to do so.

    You trolls said in 2014 GGG is too small to fight in SMW, when he called out Ward. Now, because you realized he's cleaning MW, you demand he's going up, even though Froch admitted he will never fight GGG, Chavez Jr. ducked him and Ward ducked him twice, rather fought against an nobody in his last fight when he had the chance to fight GGG. :lol::rofl

    Lineal LHW champ Stevenson even said that he would go back down to 168lbs...just like Chad Dawson did.
