Why not? Gennady is pretty good at wrestling and blocking head butts and just beat a 168 pounder trained by Virgil.
I thought a lot of GG fan boys would wake up after that horrible performance against his first real test against a top fighter his own size... But a lot of you are still blind, This guy would get schooled all 12 rounds by Ward, hell GG anit even beating Canelo you will see..
most of his reasonable fans know he has virtually no chance to beat ward...but they already knew that...they made weak/terrible excuses of his duck because they already knew....now there is little doubt...same with loeffler....before he might have thought maybe they could have had a shot...now they want nothing to do with it if ward beats kovalev again i think hell call out golovkin and retire if golovkin doesnt respond he will retire...i honestly dunno about wards weight and if he can comfortably make 168 again...but i have a feeling hes a little tired of golovkin running around saying big things and doing very little
