      I know right? Ward has been calling GGG out and GGG and his team can't respond to Ward's challenge. He wants to fight now, not later

        I tell you there is something in the water in Northern California, as all their top fighters Ward, Donaire, and Guerrero all seem to have or have had disputes with their promoters.
        Personally I don't think Ward called GGG out. Every interview he gives stars with the same question: "Will you fight GGG? When will you guys fight?". He probably got tired of hearing these questions and he simply answered "I think GGG doesn't want this fight" (earlier GGG had announced that he wants to stay at 160).

        They both GGG and Ward don't want this fight now. They understand it's PPV in 2015 or 2016.

          They should offer Lara one of Golovkin's off-TV dates. It won't happen on HBO as long as this ****** network war is happening.

            HBO said they'd never make that mistake again after the backlash for not showing it in the U.S

            IMO, that sounds like a clear duck to me....Ducklovkin style

                Absolutely correct.

                Same **** with Dirrell, Geale, Murray and rest of legit opposition.

                They've been ducking everyone who might hurt expose and incapacitate can crushing machine.

                    GGG isn't such a big name yet to make two networks work together. He still makes 300K - 350K (even with 1.4 million ratings). I don't think he's got "a voice" to tell HBO who he wants to fight and who he doesn't want to.

                      Why doesn't anybody mention GGG vs. Hassan N'Dam or Marco Antonio Rubio?? They are legit ranked middleweights...
