If Ward wants a fight, Stevenson called out Ward live on HBO, Stevenson said he would fight Ward at 175 or 168. Kovalev would love to fight Ward, problem with Ward is he will not fight anyone anywhere except his home town with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission, commentators, etc. Why doesn't Ward move up in weight? Hagler stayed at middleweight for his entire career, Monzon the same........................Hopkins was at middleweight for many years, etc. Next I will be reading that the Eastern Euro haters will be calling for Golovkin to fight Vladimir Klitschko.......................let Golovkin clean out the middleweight division, he is trying to get fights with Martinez, Quillin, Murray, etc...............then he can move up, but Golovkin can make 154, so why not fight Ward at 154 or 160?
2 years later , his fanboys have flipped the script. Ward is too big and welter slaughter is only acceptable if it's by GGG only. Yes, Floyd was avoided but let some tell it, he was born with Vegas ref's, judges, commissions, casinos, and police departments on his payroll. Shout out to C.J. and Farmboxer!!:hi: Unlike Floyd GGG called out 168 fighters with an open invitation but never really moved up. I guess he is waiting for his prime years of 38-40.:yep
