Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Says Gennady Golovkin Negotiations Back On

[parrish duke]

He and his team are ducking Ward, he still could have called Ward out, and waited for the response. His team did state they had unfinished business at 160. Chavez is a big challenge, but I see GGG putting it on him. Notice They never call Ward out, but I am beginning to hear rumbling of a potential Ward / Kovalev fight ? stay tuned

Sounds good, but i'm sure if he doesn't sign that extension (just like Manny, Bradley, Mikey Garcia, etc.) He won't get the megafight. Then everyone will label Chavez Jr. a duck, when all he is trying to do get his due.

This is the way Bob Arum has done business especially in the last few years. He dangles a big fight in front of one of his fighters along with the extension, if they want the fight to go forward. Arum calls it business, you can probably think of a better name for it?
