Why did GGG not fight Ward the lineal champ at 168 but choose Chavez?

Dear Big Dunn: You're "done" over here...

(I know that Kovalev might be labelled as racist according to your standards in the U.S.... But it was supposed to be a debate on "boxing" here...)

I didn't pay too much attention... But Big Dumm was banned just now, or he was banned before?

I write these because I would like to say that I didn't "report' him -- I don't report anybody for "racism"...

Big dunn was just recently banned before a couple weeks ago, has been back for a little and now is banned again.

fcuk ward...if a limited fighter like chavez jr was considering fighting pascal at LH why can't ward move up? he's already attained the recognition as the best in his division so the logical thing for him to do is move up and seek new challenges. instead he's just sitting there and waiting for fighters from lower division to move up. if they avoid his ass, i'm ok with it.

Thank you... I was afraid that my post would have been taken as a report announcement... I only reported people because of their trivial verbal abuse...

huh? why did HBO allow stevenson to fight anyone other than KKK if thats the fight they really wanted?

They can't make him fight anyone...apparently GYM had said they would fight Kovalev however, but (not unreasonably) wanted an easier fight first - HBOs mistake was to trust them. Of course HBO did then try and force the issue by tying him into a contract including a Kovalev fight at which point the present situation began to unfold. IMO the seeds were first laid for the Stevenson defection with Haymon GBPs signing of Shumenov late last year - I guess I've got to admire their long game even if the outcome annoys the hell outta me.

Oh, and the KKK bull**** is just cheap Dunn. Provocative, inappropriate and defamatory. Red K next time you use it.

Why did he not fight the best guy at 168? and don't talk to be about business and money because according to this forum that should not matter

I agree to certain extent! You can't demand a guy to go up on weight n fight the very best guy at that weight. GGG though now has to eventually fight Ward. Very soon too! I've defended him before but now that he is going up for Jr, he has to fight Ward.

Numb nuts, they are using Chavez as a bargaining piece for Martinez vs Cotto winner.

Don't expect that fight to actually happen. Didn't you learn anything from the way Floyd leveraged Khan for Maidana?

Why doesn't Ward move up and fight men his size?

What's Ward doing right now?
