Which is fantastic news and he finally flat out said it.(without actually calling him out) HOWEVER...there is some bull coming out his mouth...specifically about dictating. I'm not saying Golovkin can dictate ALL terms, but Ward himself is doing the same sh*t. I want it at 168...but this isn't just a ggg calling out Ward. That's the bullsh*t Ward does...he doesn't call anyone out so he never has to conceed, even though it's the media calling for Ward to fight Kov or GGG.
If Ward would really like to fight GGG, he would have done t already in 2012 and he wouldn't decide to fight Rodriguez instead of Golovkin or commentate his Macklin fight instead of stepping into the ring. He would have fight at 168 as well in his last fight, not 171,x and almost 180 at fight night.
So are you saying that Golovkin was all ready to fight Ward at 168 and Ward held up the fight ? If that's true, then since Ward is calling him out now and since Golovkin doesn't have an opponent, they should make the fight for the fall.
164 seems perfectly fair to me. 160+4=164. 168-4=164. Pretty simple. They are both champions, but GGG is much more exciting and therefore a proven bigger draw. Yet a fair catch weight has been offered. Ward better not duck.
No, it is obviously physically easier....until you factor in a naturally bigger man punching you in the f'n face. Ward weighed 171 or something for his last fight? I think he should offer 165 and a 40% split in favor of Golovkin. That would put all the pressure on K-2. They don't have a fall opponent yet so passing that up would seem like a blatant duck. 40% is totally worth it for Ward as an investment in his future......if he really believes he would win.
Golovkin says his side already offered 50% split at 164. That probably means he'd be fine with 60% at 165. We'll see!
Wards career needs a boost like a big Golovkin fight. I just don't feel like it's time for him to play hard ball. It's time to take the short end of the stick, dare to be great and potentially reap the rewards next time. Historic example...Tyson-Holyfield I
This kid ain't cut from that cloth....he's trying the mayweather model. Problem is ...his ass is old now. He'll hide on BET cards hoping GGG gets into a few wars, gets old, whatever...and try to pluck him then. Dumb and irrelevant really. fight GGG or kovalev and be a good boy.
lol they are not fighting ggg. cotto wont fight ggg canelo in 2 years maybe. is ggg gonna wait 2 years?
