Is GGG avoiding Ward or the other way around?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Well imo I think that martinez should have fought the other best fighter at 160 who is GGG.

Martinez decided to take on a bloated cotto instead of a legit contender.

I like the sport of boxing, not who has the bigger paychecks.

I have said it so many times, give GGG a few tune up fights at 168 and then by all means have a crack at ward.

You act like going up in weight and taking on ward is a simple feat, he is one of the best boxers in the world, you need to be prepared for that and not just jump straight into the deep end without testing the waters first.

GGG wanted to take on a bloated Chavez Jr at 168 instead of a legit contender.

Why? Money. Same reason Martinez is fighting Cotto.

Stop the damn hypocrisy.

Ward says that nothing in the litigation should be preventing him from still getting fights while it plays out:

Nothing should but if you were getting sued, you really think you'd wanna find that person some fights? Doubt it. It's just all hot air right now as far as I'm concerned.

People still believe Ward Kessler and Froch, two men who fight anyone, have called him out for a rematch yet Ward claims that they 'don't want to fight him'. As good a fighter Ward is, and he is top class, it kills him that he isn't a draw and guys like Kessler and Froch are. He would have to fight them in Denmark and England respectively to make money.

So again you want GGG to jump straight up and fight the lineal champ at 168, did I have to explain to you why its a bad idea for the 10th time?

Martinez didnt fight the other best fighter in his weight division.

Do you understand weight divisions or not?

If GGG was offered the Cotto fight, do you think he would face Martinez instead?

Well tbh he probably would of went for cotto because of the money.

I would have disagreed with the choice because beating cotto wouldnt prove anything, he needs to beat martinez to become the 160 lineal champ.

I honestly think that martinez doesnt want to fight GGG and will probably retire after fighting cotto but I could be wrong.

I'm actually not convinced he would take Cotto over Maravilla - right now the priority is building his brand, and Maravilla as the MW lineal titlist would do far more for that than Cotto whilst still providing a substantial payday - (probably they'd be closer to parity, though Maravilla would still be the A side). In the long term beating Maravilla before he retires would likely be more beneficial than a bigger money fight with Cotto.

Yeah so.....GGG would be a duck in your book.

[Jack Napier]

they fight in different divisions and thus neither is ducking
Ward and GGG don't have to avoid each other
Ward is wasting his career fighting out of the ring instead of in it
GGG was chasing after a fight with Chavez
past that, he's just staying busy waiting for Martinez

Well if Ward fights, Goosen makes money just as Ward does. If Ward does not fight, neither gets paid.

What we know is that Goosen asked Sauerland for an offer for a Kessler fight. They got it and turned it down saying they'd try to make an offer for the fight to take place in the US. They never did and that's where it stands.

Its difficult to interpret those facts. Maybe Goosen will not do anything just to annoy Ward or maybe Ward is pricing himself out thinking that since he got 2M for Rodriguez the clubfighter, he should get an exorbitant amount to show his skills against a 5-time champion.
