    Ward's wording was misconstrued in the media...and that was over 2 fricking years ago that he said anything about a fight with Mayweather at 160...!!!

    Golovkin has no problem facing Chavez Jr or Froch at 168 but can't face Ward?

    'Out of respect to Froch and his marketability in UK we never asked for a catchweight, always clear at 168 with Eddie ; Tom Loeffler said.

    'Loeffler stated that the Chavez bout would take place at 168 pounds, meaning that Golovkin (29-0, 26 KOs) would rise eight pounds north.'

    I like GGG but check your facts Boxing_Master :lol:

    Froch and chavez would be both on a side if they fought GGG hence why team GGG would accept going to 168

    But for ward GGG is the A side and does not HAVE to go up he calls the shots

    But your reasoning is that Ward is scared of going down, so isn't Golovkin therefore scared of going up by that logic?

    honestly all this talk of A side is what's killing boxing......Probably the single biggest legacy left by Floyd. Well done

    Agree, people that criticised Floyd for it such as Boxing_master are now defending Golovkin pulling the same moves that I am the bigger draw I get all the advantages.

    Or in avoiding Lara is okay as he isn't a big draw.

    Seems to be the way of boxing now.

    I don't understand how he can contradict himself so carelessly with ranting about Floyd pulling it and then defending a fighter he likes doing it, it makes no sense at all.

    He thinks Rigondeaux is ducking Lomachenko by asking a catch weight/ rehydration clause but is fine with GGG doing it.

    Sh.it for brains, do you really think Ward can make 160 or do you think when he said that about Mayweather he was being serious?

    Ward is the A side. A win for Ward only gives him credit as being on the p4p lists. A win for Golovkin and he's going to be treated like an all time great by some. Ward is clearly the a side. PPV buys are only a tenth of what deems someone a side

    Yeeeeah dumbass. It doesn't make sense for someone to go to 160 for a life changing pay day and not want to go to 164 for what would be pennies in comparison. God you are beyond re****ed. Why are you even alive?
