The fact that the fight will never happen aside, I believe both Ward and Golovkin wanted the fight. I think Wards people also wanted it, but I don't think GGG's people did. So it never happened. Which is honestly good. Golovkin isn't big for 160 and he would have looked like a midget against Ward. GGG takes a bad loss in that one (coming from a GGG fan). Ward vs Kovalav is a 50-50 fight. Much better.

Ward/Roc Nation offer to GGG. Serious effort or clever Propaganda?

Originally posted by ИATAS View PostUh no. K2/GGG were under the impression they would be fighting Cotto/Canelo after Lemieux, being that he's mandatory and all to the WBC. Obviously didn't make sense to them to make a fight for "sometime in 2016" without even knowing the circumstances of Cotto/Canelo and the whole mandatory situation, which has always been the #1 priority for GGG.

I think the fight would have been a pick em fight. If GGG beat Ward, after that every other opponent would be a bum. Canelo would never fight him and people would ask him to move to 175 because he already beat Ward.

Originally posted by Jubei View PostThe fight was on the table for both of them in 2013. HBO offered the fight at 168 for GGG and Ward. GGG accepted, Ward didnt. GGG wasnt a big star back th en, he only fought here a couple times. Ward fought Rodriguez instead and GGG Stevens. After that we know what happened.
