    Ward said he'd move down to 160 to fight Floyd Mayweather.
    Your anti American bu11 shet apparently has no limits. For the record, Ward didn't demand anything of the sort. Do some homework. I see where this fits your agenda, but quit passing this crap off as facts. Team GGG said they would fight anyone from 154-168, when Ward answered the call, team GGG hung up the phone

          why doesnt GGG move up????? roy jones did it to fight james toney, theres no excuse for GGG not to do it, unless of course he doubts himself.

            It was actually GGG's team who first started making noise about Ward. They claimed they'd fight anyone from 154-168. Ward said he'd be up for it and suddenly Team GGG backtracked on their statements. Ward said that's fine, just stop mentioning his name if you don't want to fight. I don't see anyone begging or crying for anything.

              roy jones didn't move up to 168 to fight james toney, he could barely make 160 anymore and had already tested the waters at 168 before toney

              plus golovkin is 32 and most fighters at that age dont move up in weight anymore unless they stick around for their 40's

              do you want golovkin to move up to heavyweight like roy jones also? they aren't comparable, roy was killing himself to make 160 at what? 23/24?

                  exerpt from wikipedia:

                  In September 1994, promoter Bob Arum officially announced the highly anticipated title fight between undefeated fighters James Toney and Roy Jones, Jr.[1] Toney came into the fight as the IBF super middleweight champion, having won the title on February 13, 1993, from Iran Barkley and having since successfully defended the title three times. Jones, the reigning IBF middleweight champion since defeating the previously once defeated Bernard Hopkins on May 22, 1993, had defended the middleweight belt only once before vacating the title in order to move up to the super middleweight division and challenge Toney. The men were considered to be two of the top fighters in the sport.[2] Toney was ranked number two in the pound-for-pound rankings, while Jones was number three. Only then-WBC welterweight champion Pernell Whitaker was ranked ahead of them.

                    Not only that but why should the #2 P4P Fighter in the World (when he is fighting) who is already PROVEN and basically cleaned out his Division, Move Down for a guy who is talented no doubt but really haven't done anything in the sport of boxing?

                    Ward don't need to chase GGG and he is not, it is just that people ask him about GGG and GGG fans troll him on Social Media talking about how he is "SCARED OF GGG" and how "GGG WOULD KNOCK HIM OUT" but then when Ward responds to those fans and guys in the Media people complain and try to make him look like some BULLY.

                    Ward wants big fights of course but also it is not his job to chase guys down when he has already reached an ELITE LEVEL in Boxing.

                    QUESTION...When was the last time someone legitimately called out WARD? Dawson called him out he answered that "CALL OUT" and destroyed him (don't want to hear about drained Dawson, Chad Dawson issued the challenge and said he would come down to 168 and fight him). Then after Dawson, Edwin Rodriguez called out Ward then signed with Haymon and tried to Price himself out of that fight and HBO stepped in and gave him the Money he was asking for and he could refuse and Ward was snapping his head back that entire fight and dominated him.

                    I'm not talking about some half ass call out either in which a guy mention his name in the media but doesn't truly pursue that match up and doesn't call his manager or promoter to try try and pursue at fight with him because a lot of that is going on.
                    GGG is the A side. If Ward really wants it, he moves down. Gennady brings the fans, he calls the shots.
