    Even though GGG had his foot in his mouth, Ward was not in his weight class, so why was he obligated to fight him? So why is it considered a duck

      That **** was years ago. Why rehash that **** now years later? A lot of stuff was said about GGG when they were trying to build him up. Who cares if he didn’t live up to everything that was said. He had a nice career. Everyone can’t be ATG’s.

As soon as a fight we want doesn't happen, fans start calling one guy or the other a ducker and the media writes stories about who doesn't want it etc. We know that some fighters are more liked/get preferential treatment but why was Golovkin allowed to avoid this fight so blatantly and not get any pushback for it? He got a pass.

          They bill this guy as "the most feared person in boxing", he said he would fight anyone from 154 to 168 and Ward offered him a 50-50 split at 168 in 2014/2015 before he moved up to LHW. The offer was rejected in "36 minutes" because "Golovkin wants to unify the division, maybe in 2018 if all goes well".

          When asked about Ward, GGG said "I'm not going to talk about him, I don't want to hear about him". That's right folks, the guy who is the most feared of anyone and will fight anyone at any weight, doesn't even want to talk about Andre Ward. When we're in a era of fighters always having to move up and constantly take challenges, why is this guy allowed to avoid a huge fight like that? You guys called Canelo a coward for not wanting to go from 154 to 160 to fight him straight away, but he won't even go up 1 weight class, not even one! The media wants to crown this guy p4p#1 but the best fighters have gone up 2-3 weight classes, and we're just going to give him a pass for not being willing to go up at all?

          Let's be real they ducked the fight because they know Ward is the toughest boxer to beat in any weight division and more than likely would have exposed and beat him. I just think it's crazy, how some guys get criticized for what socks they wear, and other guys get a pass for anything and everything. It's just crazy.
          That's because Ward PUNKED ggg at a party in Cali.GGG got scurred as *** after Ward stepped to him. I thought everyone knew this???

            - -Because GGG was busy setting middlewt title defense records and would only consider it at 164 lbs.

            Wart was setting no records refused that catchwt offer, although jealous of Floydy, he offered him 162lbs super middle title.

            What else you need to know?

              Yeah that's very true. Even now, GGG could attempt to get undisputed like he lied and claimed to have wanted to do. Andrade is the easiest fight in the world to make. Even Jermall Charlo is calling him out.

                WBA regular title doesn't count.

                  Golovkin fanboys are dumb asf they even count Golovkin's number of WBA regular title defense to his legit title defenses just so they can mention lil G on the same breath as hopkins xD

                    GGG never ducked Ward.

                    If Canelo got an offer from Beterbiev ..

                    "Fight me at 175, some time next year, 50/50 split. No date, no venue, sign now and I'll let you know when I'm ready"
