    Timing is quite literally everything outside of skill and size when it comes to boxing. Floyd's ideal weight class fell between JrWW and WW when GGG started to make noise and even then they only plausible weight they could have fought at was 154lbs and Floyd was just way to small to operate vs GGG at that weight class.

    This may sound nuts but it would have been awesome to see a sober prime Kelly Pavlik vs GGG both guys not the hardest to find and Kelly with his height and reach dropping bombs on GGG whilst getting dropped a couple of times in the process.

    I guess Ward did NOT say he was having trouble making 168, right? (Sorry for the sarcasm BTW, wasn't needed)

    You're spasing today bro. Ward wanted it at 168. G wanted a catchweight. Take your anxiety medicine.

    When did Ward want that? Do you have a date? Was Ward's legal issue resolved by then? Was Ward injured? When did ward want this fight? (The last question is all you have to answer)


    For the record, I'm just more curious as to when you think the fight was realistically doable.

    Thank you. Everybody notices this. This guy spasms out like he's Odel Beckham Jr then expects to be taken seriously.

    Thats exactly why GGG called for the 164 CW. He knew it was out of the question for Ward. Ducking tactics 101

    Lance. Go take your anxiety medicine. G wanted none of Ward. If Ward decided to unviel K2's email they sent him, you would have these answers. The fact of the matter is GGG was willing to fight Froch at 168 but not Ward. K2 wanted a catchweight. That's what we do know. I liked you better when you were just a ******* and posted emoticons lmao.

    Dude, I'm simply asking you when? For f*cks sake...you guys who keep bringing up Froch and 168. Are you aware that Froch is/was a bigger seller then Ward? You are aware of that, right? So if you understand that, you understand froch had more pull when Ward. If you don't get that draws carry more pull then non-draws, I can't help you. I assumed everyone knew that.

    Another thing I find odd, you guys were fine w/ Ward's three tune ups for Kov, but you act as if 3G MUST face Ward right away at 168. Nice level of consistency there.

    Anyway, when you have the dates the fight was most realistic, let me know.

    Also one has to remember that Froch is easier pickings than Ward, so maybe Golovkin did not need tune ups at 168 for Froch. Also Froch does not wrestle, so Golovkin wouldnt have to worry about a much larger man grappling him. Ward is NCAA caliber in grappling.

    He knew he wouldn't make 164 due to his inactivity. Are you really dumb or just in denial?

    Even as of August 2016, Ward says 168 was a no go, and he's even having trouble making 175. His own words....
