    Where did I say that he was an easier opponent I'll wait.....

      A Ward fight would have been his most lucrative fight to date by far and this was before the Chavez fight even became possible and his team came out with a statement saying that they had no intention to leave their division until they had cleaned it out,so more money or not you can't try to rationalize a duck.

      Are you serious?

      They [Golovkin's team] of course had no intention on leaving the MW division because there are more lucrative fights at MW. Fights with Sturm in Germany would be huge, the shot at the lineal champ Martinez is another. Yes, they had no reason at that time to want to jump to 168.

      However, when the cash cow within those divisions calls your name, you jump on it and take the fight. Regardless of what you believe the more lucrative fight for GGG is the Chavez fight.

      And don't think for a second that Ward wouldn't change his tune about Chavez if Chavez had called him out. Ward would leap for joy if his name was mentioned.

        GGG team always said they would fight Chavez at any weight.
        You're not making any sense Chavez is Golovkin's trainers dream fight,because it is a lucrative fight meaning he stands the chance to make more money percentage wise.By you statement Chavez could easily be Ward's trainers dream fight.

            I like Ward and he's very good but let Golovkin be .He still has to prove himself and is at this time a middleweight.If the Ward camp are so keen in this moving up business then get Ward up to 12st 7lbs there's some fun and games to be had there!

              Ward should just move up to 175 instead of crying about fights that he wants.

                  Obviously it goes without saying that I was considering viable fights,i.e. fights with the potential of being made We already know how Sturm feels about fighting Golovkin and Martinez has a fight booked right now and he has never been to keen on fighting Golovkin anyway.Before the Chavez fight was on the table Ward was the most lucrative opponent out fights that could actually be made,meaning a Ward fight is more profitable than a Lee or Geale fight.

                    Where am I not making sense?

                    Abel Sanchez has been saying he wants Chavez all along.

                    No-one seems to be dreaming of fighting Ward.

                    You don't hear people calling out Ward. Because he'll beat you for average money and it won't be exciting.

                    If GGG campaigned at 168, not fighting Ward would be a duck. Going up for one fight because Chavez can't make 160 anymore is not a duck.

                    Ward's trainer is just upset the gravy train passes him by.

                      Isn't Chavez in Ward's division,didn't Golovkin's team just say that they don't have any intentions of leaving the middle weight division.
