    HBO put money into GGG, Just like they put money in Donaire and look what happend when they put Rigo in with him. They don't want Ward to ruin their investment.

    You know boxing has hit the pan when the network is doing the ducking for you.

I mean **** they both need an opponent right now ggg was already working to get to 168 why not just fight ward now? hope this dont turn into the new mayweather pac fiasco
      So you are expecting Ward to make a move for the July date? It would definetely give him a needed PR boost.

        Golovkin will fight anyone I actually believe that. Ward has too much crap going on and is preventing any fights.

          neither of the is avoiding the other as they are separate weight classes.

          ward said he is willing to fight golovkin if he comes up, but thats not up to ward is it. all he can do is keep making the best fights at 168 and if ggg wants to move up and join in then and only then can ward talk seriously about making the fight. he isnt te kind of guy who clls many fighters out, period. calling out someone beneath him in weight is far from his style.

          as for golovkin, same thing. he isnt a 168lber. im so sick of people saying various guys are ducking fighters who arent even in their division, ITS NOT POSSIBLE. weightclasses are there for a reason and every fighter can choose which ever one he damn well pleases, within that division you should expect him to fight the best in order to call himself the best or even one of the best at the weight. but you can never force a guy to move up, even if there is nobody to fight. they choose their division, period. they move up if and when they please and if they choose not to that will never ever be a duck. ducking someone is avoiding someone in your direct path, you cant be on a collision course without being in the same weight category though.

            Wards been calling ggg out but expects ggg to come to him. Who in their right mind would face #2 or3 p4p figher for their first fight moving up...

                    They put way more money into Ward than they did into Donaire and Golovkin Combined

                      Andre Ward wants the fight, he doesn't think GGG hits any harder than Authur Abraham especially at 168. Hbo and K2 don't want the GGG train derailed before he gets to Martinez. it makes perfect business sense but K2 is ducking. GGG would take the fight if he could
