The fight wouldn't have happened at 164. GGG and his people would have found another road block if Ward agreed to the weight.
I recall in the spring of 2009 when they were getting ready for the Kessler vs Ward fight. I couldn't believe why so many people thought Kessler was going to destroy Ward. Maybe it was a combination of the odds and the relative unknown Andre Ward to the casual fan. Going back I said to myself and a few other friends that Ward would beat Kessler. Kessler has never seen a style like Ward's. Also Kessler was a barely active, injured fighter. Kinda like Sergio Martinez when he was on shot knees and nobody knew it! Kessler didn't stand a chance. And I was correct!:hey
Ward vs Froch 2 in the UK would have been huge.:ko But Froch wanted in Nottingham. And Ward was afraid of getting robbed from what I recall Correct me if i'm wrong. Isnt there other arenas instead of Nottingham? How about Wembley? Too big? Wasted space?
Ward today is a zero in boxing compared to GGG, you can remember old wins, like Supersix which was tailored specifically for Ward or even Olympics where was gifted a gold medal (his loss in semifinal which was made a win). The only thing Ward is a way way better are dirty tricks. Dirty tricks against boxers, promoters and fans.
First Chavez brings a lot, while Ward brings only hugs, that is the main reason. Why do you think GGG would decline fight at 168? The first offer from GGG was a negotiable offer, they are always open to negotiations and Ward didn't counter the offer nor negotiate it. Why Ward sent offer to GGG when they knew that GGG had a fight? What are conditions on that offer? Speaking about cowards, the only coward at the moment is Ward. Turns out he even can't make 168.
"Chavez brings a lot" Gigi's people said he's fight ANYBODY from 154 to 168...Then they bit.ched out on the 168 part:deal
What was the deal? What are conditions? When was the offer made? Again you have nothing to say. And yes, funny to say, bum Chavez can offer a lot more than lying duckWard.
Beating Ward means more than beating Chavez Jr:deal The thing is..gigi and his handlers KNOW he can't beat Andre.:yep
