I am a big GGG fan but how come nobody from the media asked for Ward?

[The Hammer]

He'll still make more than he did against Rubio.

But the Rubio fight was at middleweight.

And another factor is Ward will demand home advantage and a shady ref who lets him clamp GGG's arm and use head butts.

Tom Loeffler isn't ******, he's not going to put GGG in a situation where he will be cheated.

If Ward wants the fight, he should offer to come down to 160. He offered to move down to 160 for Mayweather, why not for GGG?

[Divine Hammer]

because ward retired. he is no longer fighting anymore.

[pesticid]

The bottom line is that Ward is an elite fighter and will probably beat GGG so GGG fans don't want him to face Ward for that reason only because he might lose.

[SeekDaGreat]

OK fair enough, then he shouldn't say that he is willing to face anybody because he ISN'T.

And I know that Ward has been on the shelf but unlike Quilin, Chavez, Murray, Froch, Martinez and Cotto he doesn't have an excuse for why he shouldn't fight GGG.

Last night Abel Sanches was interviewed and was asked what would it take for GGG to become a super star and he said he had to face an elite fighter like and do the same what he did to Rubio.

Well no elite fighter is willing to face GGG but when asked Ward has said no problem, we can do it.

I'm pretty sure he would fight Ward. He's just not willing to jump through all the hoops to fight him atm. Honestly, does it make any sense?

It's makes zero sense atm, when you're staring down a potential fight with Cotto/Canelo and possibly Chavez Jr.

Ward fight is def a back seat to all three f those fights for many reasons. Primarily GGG knows he's gonna get action and money with one of those fights.

[DondiNeverLeft]

If he's willing to go up to 168 to face Chavez , why not Ward?

I personally don't want to see this fight just because I believe Ward's jab, intelligence and grappling style will probably offset GGG's rhythm and we'll see a one-sided fight or maybe Gennady will find success with his jab the way Arthur did in the first few rounds against Andre.

I love GGG, not a huge fan of Ward although I put him up there with Floyd and Rigo as the best technician in boxing. I just think that if you don't want to face Ward just say it.

Even Tom Loeffer was saying that it's easy to make fights for GGG because they don't look for excuses yet when Ward's name comes up there is an excuse. So what is it?

Because GGGS is a likable guy and Ward is a huge threat.
Same as Pac and Canelo, Canelo is a huge threat so no talk.

GGG doesn't have the lineal title at 160, Ward does at 168.

These three fights have been a pipe dream for a year now. The truth is GGG is fighting Macklin, Geale, Stevens, Rosado and Rubio and neither one is giving him a fight and I am bored of seeing him against guys where he can't test himself.

Against Andre he will be tested and we'll know more about him in one fight than we've learned about him in his past 6 fights because we already know he can punch.

[STEELHEAD]

Ward is in a different weight division. Ward is not a popular fighter and the fight wouldn't make much money.

Golovkin will move up in weight only for a financially rewarding fight with someone like Chavez or for Froch in the UK.

Otherwise, he'll stay at 160.

youre getting more sensible with age tunney.

I didn't realize it was June 2015. How's the future where you are?

He almost got a Chavez fight this year, and would have if not for Bob Arum ****ery. Alvarez only became a possibility in the last month or so, and the ginger has said he would fight Golovkin. Golovkin's win last night made him the mandatory to Cotto's belt, which might end up being Alvarez's if Alvarez beats Cotto. How exactly are they pipe dreams, and how exactly have they been so for a year when none of them were a possibility until 4 or 5 months ago?

Is this really what you're going to do? Make stuff up?

[Jim Jeffries]

GGG doesn't have the lineal title at 160, Ward does at 168.

So doesn't it make sense for GGG to go after that title first? In a much more winnable fight against Cotto?
