Why Does Ward Get A Pass For Ducking GGG 3 times?

HeadShots9y ago

HBO Headquarters. Ward said No. When Ward was at 168 lbs. Meet in the middle at 164 lbs. Ward: No concessions. Virgil Hunter, "We'd go to 168 for Golovkin." Ward, "I ain't fighting Golovkin at 168" LMAO Basically his trainer outed his cowardly ways. just facts of history.

Once again , the delusionals... We need a poll to define the worst fanbase in the forum... canelo fanbase for sure, as shameless as their fav fighter i don't think ward ever ducked golovkin they never had ideal situation to arrange the fight and tbh ward is too big for him, 75-25 ward UD

dude Kovalev has no inside game. none. Ward doesn't want that inside work. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5GC_IvbzOL8/0.jpg So he should skip Kovalev and drop down to 168 and sit and wait for GGG?? im trying to see how the world in your head works

Ward never ducked GGG. BTW Ward is all wrong for GGG. Style-wise Ward is a nightmare for GGG. Nope. Ward ducked this fight 3 times. this is straight from Ward's own mouth. Virgil Hunter, "We can fight at 168 lbs for Golovkin." Ward, "I'm NOT going to 168 to fight Golovkin LMAO" Why? duck job. this is a fact.

GGG just fought Jacobs..Ward just fought Kovalev..hopefully GGG gets Canelo next and Ward has Kovalev again next...WTF is there to complain about? dude Kovalev has no inside game. none. Ward doesn't want that inside work. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5GC_IvbzOL8/0.jpg

Man is about to fight Kovalev for the 2nd time and you post this retarded sh1t?? you make real GGG fans look bad..seriously its stupid Logic does not apply. Did Ray Robinson not duck Charley Burley even tho he fought Gene Fullmer? Did Tyson not duck Foreman even tho he fought Holyfield? styles make fights. GGG can fight on the inside.
