    The guy was not willing to move to to 168 for Ward, yet has no problem doing it for a far more inferior boxer in Chavez.

    Pretty clear duck to me, thoughts?

    It's only a duck if he never fights him.

    Fair point, so is this the early stages of a duck then?

    If he doesn't fight him it is. If he does fight him, it isn't.

    Troll. Jeez.

    Everyone knows two things.

    First being Team GGG has sought a Chavez fight specifically for years, going back to when he was a belt holder at the weight. GGG is not "moving up" to fight Chavez, just doing a Vera and meeting the financial A-side on their terms cause thats how it works.

    Second being Ward is not fighting anybody. At all. Other than his promoter. How do you duck a guy who not only has not sent a contract or tried to negotiate a fight, but is not even fighting at all other than his promoter in court?

    GGG shamelessly ducking Ward. He's only one division up. they fight on the same network. GGG is afraid of actually fighting a live dog that can hurt him back.

    He's willing to do down to 154 to fight Floyd but won't go to 168 to fight SOG.

    See, like this. The only people who really think GGG is ducking Ward - are some of the worst trolls on the forum.

    Folks - dont be like this please, its embarrassing to watch.

    Did I say anything that wasn't true? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghQMOF60_Tw

    he's willing to fight Floyd, but apparently it's "unfair" for him to fight Ward right now.

    If he feels he can't beat Ward at 168lbs, if he feels that, why should he fight him there? It is not like he is the champion of that division, nor is it the case that Ward has made himself the #1 contender to GGG's title (note - GGG doesn't even hold the legitimate middleweight title, because HE is being ducked, a bit, by Martinez - although we'll see on that).

    This is all up in the air. This is people trying to judge something that is happening now like it's already happened. Don't work.

    Hmm.. proving your troll credentials again. No mention of Ward there, in a video thats over a year old. He said he would fight BHop - but was focused on 160 in that video. Probably cause BHop was already a LHW, and even making that fight would be hard.

    And yeah, when asked GGG would take a fight with Mayweather.. like Ward, BHop, people in higher weight classes than him. Golovkin says its because Mayweather is the best in the sport. But we all know anyone will take the fight because of the payday if nothing else.
