    Andre Fraud never wanted to share the ring with GGG but how come people are buying his bs? If you want to fight smaller guys badly you go down in weight, not cry on TV. This is how all the champions have done it.

    See GGG calling Floyd, he was ready to go down in weight. Even Andre Fraud offer to go down for Floyd so your point is not valid, especially since GGG was the A side on that one

    and the fact that andre ward's career is pretty much dead in the water and he's really desperate.

    1890s. Sullivan talking about fighting the middleweight champion of that time.

    Jack Johnson called for Stanley Ketchel pretty regularly a few years on.

    As old as prize-fighting, basically, this practice. Same as catchweights. Same as everything you fannies get your panties in a bunch about because you read something about it this week.

    I don't see the problem calling smaller fighter if said fighter is willing to go down.

    Andre Ward is an absolute disgrace to humanity. He's worse than Hitler.

    It's not a problem but I hate how he's trying to make it seem like Golovkin HAS to fight him and that he's being ducked. A one off callout - I've no problem with but when the fighter insits on it when he's being declined, I don't like that.
