    I don't really get it either.

    The guy's done nothing of note since 2011 and you have guys saying "He's #1 P4P" which is obviously ridiculous.

    Those people in all honesty have died off now but you still have a few brain dead's claiming it.

    All you ever hear is "Well he did clean out 168". Yeah, in 2011..

      Does that change the fact he was drained? Just because he offered to go down?

      Oscar offered to go down to 147 for Pacquaio doesn't change the fact he was dead at the weight.

        He got a pass because of the Super 6 and coming off of injuries. This year he needs to make something happen though and I'm not talking about a Chavez PPV.

        I think Jean Pascal as a first fight at 175 makes TOO much damn sense right now.

          His division was way over hyped in the first place.

            Marvin Hagler would have got so much shit today. How dare you dominate a division and not move up.

              I'm tired of repeating something like these above ^^^...
              I have a su****ion that Ward doesn't actually like to fight -- even he's extremely gifted and intelligent. But there's a major flaw in his skill-set (that he hides from young age): he doesn't have a proper right hand. And because he's that intelligent, Ward knows he can't make any further progress... Ward would look for making money in a safe way.

                Nothing wrong with that. If he's comfortable fighting at that weight then he should stay there.
                This from someone who is in every Golovkin thread saying he should move up.

                Maybe Ward should try fighting then.

                  GGG fans are bitter ****s.
                  Those aren't Golovkin fans, at least not most. Those are the Floyd haters who jump on whatever power puncher in the general weight range they are sure Mayweather won't fight. They've had to go all the way up to middleweight now after being so sure Mayweather would duck Alvarez.

                    like Ward, but he's spent too much time on the shelf
                    he did usurp Pac and Floyd as boxing's best fighter
                    but he frittered it away by not doing shit for too long
                    if he's so inclined, run through the viable ranked SMW's again
                    otherwise, go to LHW and target the world title
                    just sick of him squandering his talent and status with inactivity

                      I'd like to see Ward fight more often but he's been injured. That shoulder injury after the Dawson fight kept him out of boxing for a long time. Ward came back to boxing in style and made ER look like crap. Looking forward to see him fight again.
