    I grow so tired of the notion that Golovkin ducked Ward. No he didn't. Andre Ward is a LHW and Golvokin is a MW.

    That puts Golovkin at a serious disadvantage should they fight. Why? Because Ward is a lot bigger dipshits.

    Ward is already fighting Kovalev. A man his own size.

    Where has this come from? Are you OK? You seem upset about a conversation nobody is really having any longer.

    Same thing happens with Canelo, he's a jnr middleweight who has never fought at 160 in his life and he's ducking GGG, yeah right

    But its okay for some of you to goosestep around and tell people the "HAVE" to fight Golovkin to better their resume legacy, blah,blah,blah.

    I told you the double standards and hypocrisy is terrible and blatant.

    That's my problem with it the double standards and hypocrisy. Ward needs to move up crawford needs to move up pbf needs to move up canelo needs to move up rigo needs to move up yet ggg can stay at one weight and you better not say anything about it. That's bull****.

    There's no double standard there. You guys want to find some form of resemblance between the two situations and then pretend they're the exact same. Fact is Ward was an inactive 168 who quickly went to 175 as soon as he came back to the sport. Fact is Canelo has fought within the MW limit for his last 5 fights and held the WBC Middleweight title, the Middleweight lineal title, and had his mandatory enforce his mandatory status to make the fight happen.

    Actually for non-title fights lmw can weigh-in at 155.

    That doesn't really change the point in any way. Regardless he still fought two title fights at 155. Middleweight title fights at that.

    Canelo has had 2 fights officially at "MW", if there were no titles on the line the fights would have been considered a JMW bout. Also we all know he won the title against a small JMW, let alone a MW.

    Never fought a middleweight or at middleweight?

    GGG needs to step up if Canelo has to.
    GGG is 34 ffs and his best win is still Martin Murray!

    GGG has a better resume then Brook but still would be 15-20 p4p at best
