Ward is hurting for any kind of attention. How he's been thrown aside is a tremendous blow to his inflated "Son of God" ego..

What are you trying to say. I don't play this ****ing about game. If you want to make a point, then make it.

Facts are facts. You say you will face anyone from 154-168, and then say well, I will fight Froch or Chavez at 168 but not Ward, then that's suspect.

Basically, I want to see GGG fight Ward. How could any GGG fan not want that?

TR was ready to make a big money offer for a PPV fight on Chavez' behalf. GGG wouldn't be making an offer to Froch, it'd be Froch's promoter Hearn for a major event fight. Do you understand that in boxing, the guy that makes the money makes the offer. So where is it?

Shows you that his nice guy routine on air is purely an act. Ward is the most delusional character in the sport.

GGG is K2 not top rank

In don't think GGG is.even big enough for 168. Looks pretty maxed. Something like Rigo, who would be in his 3rd or 4th division had we seen him since the start.

The truth is that you can't duck someone outside your division. After GGG cleans up 160 then we should be serious about 168.

Ward is the one that worries me. Zero for him to do at 168. This should be his prime. He should be at 175 if he wants to go down as a great. But doesn't fight and won't do the logical thing, move up.

I don't think Golvokin would be undersized at 168 to be honest. He's not a small middleweight by any means. Rigo is a small super bantamweight.

Top Rank being Chavez' promoter, the guys that can actually promote a PPV in the US. Damn dude

K2 has never promoted a PPV in the US. Not sure why you're bringing up GBP, but as you can see they don't even know who they have under contract, and are stuck with America's #2 boxing network which has the burdensome Floyd contract and more high priced fighters than they can pay for.

I will concede that I was wrong about him entertaining moving up weight classes. Thank you for that information. Now point me to anything in the links you posted that shows him or his team expressly calling out anyone at 175 (or a higher weight even), because that's where the GGG comparison lies. GGG and friends believe they can take anyone from 154-168, and have a 168 guy that wants a piece, yet all they have to offer is excuses for why it can't happen. I'd rather them stop talking about it, instead of saying "We want to fight, but *insert excuse.*" It makes it seem as if he's calling him out with no intention of fighting.

“You got to fight the right heavyweight,” he admitted, but added: “As a fighter, I believe I could beat a Klitschko… I’m wired to believe that…I think it could happen, absolutely.”

He didn't issue a challenge to the Klitschko brothers, or claim that they were afraid of him. He even implies that fighting them could be a bad idea with the “You got to fight the right heavyweight,” line (Roy Jones wasn't dumb enough to challenge Lennox Lewis lol). He simply stated his belief in himself as a fighter, and that he would like to challenge them one day. Not exactly the same as considering yourself to be the most feared fighter in a given range of weights.
