    1) I agree GGG is a natural middleweight. That doesn't mean that he never tried to get fights at 168.
    2) He tried to fight Chavez at 168.
    3) He tried to fight Froch at (iirc) 172.

    4) His camp proposed fighting Ward at 168. Ward said no.

    Evidence:

    "Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez is saying that he plans on moving up to 168 either directing after his June fight or after a possible fight against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in September." [...] We’ll move back down. There shouldn’t be any reason now why he wouldn’t fight us. He should have a real good reason. I don’t think he can use those excuses again after we finish with Kovalev and decide to move back down. Of course, he can make 168 if the money’s right,” said Hunter about Ward. “Most definitely, he’s still a super middleweight,” said Hunter."

    http://www.boxingnews24.com/2017/03/wards-trainer-golovkin-moves-168-well-come-fight/

    That was Ward's trainer. Then, Ward himself weighed in afterwards:

    "“I’m not going to 68, that’s out,” said Ward to thaboxingvoice.com about him not moving down to 168 to fight Golovkin. “I moved up. That was a real opportunity for him to take that fight. He didn’t want the fight. He wanted to push it out 2 or 3 years. Once you go up, you can’t come back down. If he wants to come up, that’s another story. I’m not going back down,” said Ward."

    GGG aint no style strategist either, he just fights whoever is on offer and then does his thing doesn't he. Ward is another story altogether. Froch if he was younger would've fought GGG without a doubt, at the drop of a hat. I don't mind Froch half wanting it but then retiring and ducking it, its not like he fought again against someone else. Ward on the other hand has to weigh things up so it suits him too much. Really glad the fellas gone !

    Would have loved Froch / Golovkin. I know Froch was getting on in years but he looked in terrific shape.

    the only case closed is that 3G never move up to take a warmup fight at SMW with which to enter SMW ranks and land a title shot.

    It is painfully obvious that 3G doesnt care about a "lesser" division like SMW. He is old school, believes only in the traditional divisions.


    This is not a fault. Its fine by me.

    He did yeah. I think that age would've showed up fighting GGG though, as tough as he was. GGG imo was near prime when it was talked about. Froch was a G bigtime. Not many get up from that Shot Groves landed

    Herol: "He has never had aspirations nor shown any, at another weight, so noone in another division had any reason to run from him. Argugin they did is a lie"

    Consider yourself destroyed.

    I suspect Froch / GGG would have been a jabfest like Lemieux / GGG. Golovkin would be unwise to get into the trenches with a guy like Froch when he has other options.

    the only one destoryed is you, by lying that 3G went up to SMW in deed,not mouth.

    until its done, any "aspiration" one talks about might as well never have happened nor will.

    He didn't openly duck those guys.

    I know you hate the hype, but be objective.

    At the moment, yes, i do fail to help you show 3G making a move to SMW. Becasue noone on the planet can show this, it hasnt happened.

    but we must have faith - one day soon he may make the jump up. Then we will suceed!
