Why does Andre Ward want to fight guys from smaller divisions like Floyd and Gennady?

    Why doesn't he take up Adonis Stevenson's challenge?

    Or fight Sergey Kovalev?

    He never called Floyd out real...and GGG had fight jrmw and called out Floyd. He also said he'd fight anyone 154-175...but not ward. Ward has the resume to back the fact that he'll fight anyone.

    Golovkin never said he'd fight anyone from 154-175.

    He said he'd fight anyone from 154 to 168.

    But it makes more sense for Golovkin ro fight Martinez this fall, and become linear MW champ, before moving up to 168. Then a fight with Ward would be much bigger.

    But since Ward had Dawson move down, he should be willing to move down to 160 for GGG.

    Ward is a prima donna who demands all the advantages: California referee, his preferred weight, etc.

    eventually Ward will move up @ 175 cuz he hasn't so many options @ 168.
