As a GGG fan I think his offer to Ward for a 164 catchweight is ridiculous

    NO. Catch weights are never legit. It was on GGG to move up to Ward just like Ward moved up to Kovalev.

    Ellerbe is more of a GGG fan, than you are an American that's for sure.

    Like Ward moved up to Dawson?

    CW fights are fine as long as titles aren't on the line and it's clear it's a money fight. I have no problem 60 and 68 meeting in the middle. If you do, then that's on you.

    GGG vs Ward after Lemiuex would have been GGGs best chance to beat Ward.

    Instead, he stalled out his career waiting on Alvarez and fought Wade, Brook and Jacobs (good fight). Now, GGG will be known as the guy that Canelo beat by UD in 2018. Let's face it. Golovkin isn't the same fighter he was back in 2012-2015. I don't see GGG KOing Canelo and good luck beating Canelo on the cards. 116-112 very easy to conjure for the judges.

    GGG fights careful with punchers. Canelo is vastly superior to Lemiuex, Stevens, and Jacobs. Canelo will eat GGG Jabs but Canelo will punish the 36 year old GGG to the body in 2018

    A fight contested at any weight above 154 and within the 160lb limit is a MIDDLEWEIGHT fight, Einstein.

    1 + 1 = 2

    Does a 160 fighter and 147 fighter meeting @ 160 seem pretty legit to you also?

    Didn't Ward move up for Kovalev?

    Let's talk about how Canelo is a "champion" after wussing out of fighting GGG and express-delivering his belt to him :deal:

    Ward had to. By his own admission, since Golovkin said that he would be moving to 168 to meet him there, Ward can no longer make 168 and is a 175 fighter :risas3:
