yes, loeffler was offering his opinion about the chances of being able to make a deal. Nobody I know thinks the fight could be made either, based on simple MATH.
None of which changes the fact that GGG has never actually been offered a Ward fight by Goosen, Ward, or anyone else. If Ward wants to claim GGG is ducking him, then he should put a solid offer on the table and see if GGG rejects it............Last edited by OnePunch; 09-26-2014, 08:25 AM.

The fact of the matter is that Frampton is a higher paying fight and he's still taking on a world class fighter, a world champion at that.
Stevenson took on Forfarna "for far less" money than he would have got to fight Kovalev. And I don't see the Hopkins fight happening. So I fail to see the comparison here.
Frampton won the world title less than a month ago and you're claiming he's holding the belt hostage?
Stop being such a ***ing n00b

Originally posted by OnePunch View PostGGG made a statement that he was open to fighting anyone from 154-168. In response, Top Rank / Chavez put an offer on the table, and GGG accepted it. Chavez then withdrew.
If you are aware of an offer that Ward / Goosen put on the table for GGG, please let the rest of us in on it, because nobody that I know is aware of any legitimate offers from Ward or Goosen to GGG or K2.
(In other words, its pretty much impossible to duck a fight you've never even been offered in the first place)

BTW, since Gaby said Cotto fighting GGG "makes no financial sense", then I guess by your standard Miguel is "ducking" GGG?
and Im not surprised you havent heard of my old company. There's probably LOTS of things you havent heard of. The guy in your sig though (Thurman) has heard of me. He even fought on one of my shows. Let me know if you want an autograph lolLast edited by OnePunch; 09-26-2014, 09:22 AM.
