Why did GGG not fight Ward the lineal champ at 168 but choose Chavez?

So now you are content with Mayweather's mediocracy and he should never challenge himself again?

HBO is clearly setting up GGG-Ward for early 2015, possibly even late 2014. A win over Chavez should boost his value a bit and if he beats Martinez later in the year then you have the makings of a super-fight with Ward. I don't doubt for a second that this fight will happen. But I am concerned about Ward's inactivity in the months leading up to it.

it wouldn't make sense for them to fight now. ggg's team is smart by letting the fight build up first. let him spark the best fighters at 168 first then let those 2 face by 2015.

Oscar wasnt the best at LMW when Floyd fought him, it was his second fight there once he moved down from MW.

HBO doesn't want to make it so quickly, but there isn't going to be much a choice if no one else will fight the man.
