    I think Ward is smart enough NOT to do that, the risk is just too much (just ask Chad Dawson). I think he'll more likely ask Golovkin to move up or ask the 2 to move down rather than face Stevenson/Kovalev in their weight class.

        Despite what we have to say about it, Ward will take the fight that makes the most $$$ and there is nothing wrong with that, up to a point. Biggest fight now is with Chavez Jr who would look like a chimichanga at 175.

        Forget about GGG...he's not a big enough draw just yet.

            Has GGG ever had a ppv with big numbers? I honestly don't know.
            Surely Jr would be a bigger money maker..

              Maybe next year. GGG needs to move up to 168 and fight Ward.

                I don't remember Anthony saying anything like that, but I could be wrong. I think Ward should wait at 168 for GGG. That's a pretty good sized PPV in a year or so.

                  Golovkin is a relatively small natural middleweight compared to many of the others in the division - Rosado was the slightly bigger guy & he was supposed to be a big Jnr. middleweight.

                  Whereas Ward is a natural light-heavy who has no problems making the 168lb limit due to his discipline & excellent training habits.
                  He competed at the olympics at light-heavy, & there really isn't any excuse for him to not move up & face guys at his natural weight apart from trying to squeeze a little more money out of the division in some showcase bouts (ie. Chavez Jr).
