    Ward said he could probably make 160 but that he wouldn't be any good down there due to the cut. There's no way in hell he would even contemplate trying to make 158, let alone 154.

    He could always offer to if he's do desperate to fight Golovkin.

    i understand your colossal ego won't entertain such a concept, but your unfamiliarity with "climbdown" is no reflection on my grammar.

    and no, a link to an article quoting loeffler saying ggg could comfortably make 154 in no way constitutes a personal call-out of smaller fighters by ggg.

    embarrassingly so.

    Clearly because he is a horrible human being at heart and sells poison milk to school children just for kicks. I also heard he keeps his dog tied up in the hot sun and puts the water bowl just out of reach.

    Jack Reiss deducted 2 points of Ward and Rodriguez, therefore, according to Ward's logic, he is indeed actually a dirty fighter now. lol

    This is entirely true. Ward in similar situation as GGG TBH, except even further behind now after so long out. People say go to 175, but... theres Kovalev and Stevenson... and since Ward is with JayZ and Stevenson is with Haymon there isnt even Stevenson.

    The big money is still at 154, and Ward can only hope some of it floats to some guys at 160 who float up to 168.

    :-(

    Interesting situation for Golovkin. He's calling out guys that have little incentive to fight him, and he has little incentive to fight the guys that are calling him out.

    Very astutely and succinctly summed up.

    especially if he's gonna turn down stadium fights against the nearly retired money man of the division.

    Ward and Lara. Danny Jacobs called him out as well, but I'm sure his team would take that fight in a heartbeat if Jaccobs weren't with Haymon.

    oh jesus. really? lara "called out" ggg on twitter in a language he doesn't speak, until loeffler said lara can get in the ring too, since when lara went silent. and ward? for real? you're aware he's been unavailable for years?
