Why did Ward commentated the GGG - Macklin fight instead of fighting?

    GGG called him out since 2012. :think Ward fought a few months later Rodriguez instead. :-(

    You tell me? You're the one who supposedly sparred Gennady!

    Stop making up lies. When GGG was asked about fighting Ward, he said "Andre Ward is too much for me". The video is on youtube for everyone to see.

    He's not a native speaker. He never sad Ward would be too much for him as an opponent. He was talking about the weight difference at the end, when Gennady and his team already decided that it doesn't make sense to wait for Ward. When they decided to unify MW and make big money fights against either Floyd or Canelo, then suddenly Ward came backand bluffed on twitter.

    He was too much for him in terms of weight. He struggled with his weight during his inactive time, he's a LHW now.

    GGG called him out after his HBO debut against Proksa. He fights anyone, he said. Floyd, Martinez, Ward. A year later Ward commentated the Macklin fight and fought a few months later Rodriguez.

    This is something that his fans want to forget.

    Maybe it has something to do with Edwin having wins over Will Rosinsky, Donovan George, Jason Escalera, Denis Grachev and Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna. Which is more impressive than wins over Rosado, Ishida and Proksa.:good

    Oh please! GGG has never offered Ward a contract to fight. In fact, it was Team Ward who tried to make a deal with Golovkin's team and they said "Maybe in 2017". When the interviewer asked him "Gennady, what do you say to Andre Ward who says you're ducking him?" Gennady said: Ward is too much for me, not today." That's a duck!
