    No he's not if you think a guy who hasn't lost a fight since the age of 12 is scared of another boxer who he feels he can beat you're fooling yourself.:deal

    What does it matter, the era is so weak, Ward needs a time machine to prove his greatness.

    That's what suing terminally ill people does to you. You become a coward.

    I still don't understand this. According to Ward, the offer was for the first half of 2016. Cotto-Canelo are fighting in November and GGG is mandatory for the winner. How could anybody call GGG not taking an over the weight fight against a smaller draw a duck??
    It's obvious Roc was simply trying to get GGG out of the way for a while for a potential Cotto-Canelo rematch. K-2 would have to be stupid to take their ****ty offer

    There is no real mystery to why K2 didn't want to consider GiGi facing Ward.

    K2 stands to make a lot of money off of Golovkin. After Vlad he is the PR company's hottest product and K2 is banking on him earning them very good returns on their investment.
    To keep earning, K2 needs to keep making fights with b-level opposition like Geale, Murray, Monroe, and now Lemieux to keep selling to their target market, young white males who possess only limited boxing knowledge. I.E., the WWE, NASCAR, UFC fan base.

    Facing an A level champion like Ward is no in the k2 gameplan. In fact, even risking facing the 50 year old former King of the Middleweight division, Bernard Hopkins is far too risky for K2's plans. Not to mention, that bout would be for the sake of boxing which has little to nothing to do with GiGi's fanbase.

    - Ward shouldn't be considered a champion. He hasn't defended his title in almost 2 years ! He needs to prove that he is still a champion ans A level.
    - Ward is two weight divisions and 12 pounds above. If he wants Golovkin, he needs to beat another champion at 168 first. Then he will raise himself to a level where he could interest Golovkin's team.

    While Ward was doing what Goossen said, he was given home advantages and was raised to star_dom. As soon as he started his legal ****, he slid into obscurity.

    If you sue a terminally sick person instead of fighting, it affects your personality.

    :lol::lol: Ward needs to prove himself to an opponent whose best win is against Martin Murray?
    Hasn't even fought an opponent on the level of Arthur Abraham, but Martin Murray. LOL, give me a break. :rofl

    So you are saying that giving up the mandatory status against a bigger draw to fight a guy who's much bigger, has no fans, brings less money and wants 50% is the proper play for K-2?? White people didn't become "the man" by being that ****ing stupid. Go watch some B-ball or shoot ****s. This sport is above your head.

    They know full well it makes zero sense for GGG to go up in weight class to fight Ward of all people, but they like to pretend so because they can live in their fantasy world where GGG is a coward et cetera. These guys are beyond help, this forum is becoming a broken record with these people, someone should just ISP ban them all.
