Why aren't Ward fans calling for him to move up?

[brick wall]

exactly. its a fight that makes sense for both guys. they are the 2 best fighters on hbo and golovkin has already made it known that he is willing too fight at 168. ward vs ggg is the best fight that hbo has too offer. but all these **** riders want ggg too avoid the fight

unless they're on the same division, no one is avoiding the fight...even if golovkin moves up and fight chavez jr instead that is totally fine.

if he beats chavez jr and won't entertain a ward fight after then you can say he's avoiding ward.

GGG's camp are the ones who mentioned fighting anyone from 154 to 168. It's their own fault that people are talking about Ward.

GGG is too small for Ward. Period.

Chavez lacks character and skills and yes, GGG would like to pick up some serious money knocking out Jr. Golovkin only has a couple peak years left.

His team should keep quiet about other weight classes and stay focused on dominating 160 and not talk about 168.

Hey Ward...Move Up!!!

[BostonGuy]

And fight who??

You guys are ignoring that 175 is a razor thin division that's almost cleaned itself out. Andre already beat Chad Dawson out of boxing and Hopkins won't fight him. Stevenson is on Showtime looking for dead bodies to fight. That leaves Kovalev if he somehow beats Popkins, and after that? Nothin.

Razor what? Is this post 2 years old? The LHW division is arguably the hottest and most loaded division in boxing right now. There are numerous opponents for Ward at 175.

A year or so ago yea it was really thin. I think there's potential in there right now with the Eastern Euro up and comers. Bieber is moving faster than the others right now.

The three biggest names though in the division... they're bigger than they were last year.

Unfortunately, I think only Kovalev could appease his contract minimum w/o having to go PPV.... and even that's a stretch now, especially if he wins

Ward said he'd move up 3 years ago... so do we just forget about these things as time passes by?

[HeroBando]

so if golovkin is the A side why doesn't his team send ward a contract? it's because they don't wanna fight ward. it's no secret.

and let me guess, you don't want golovkin too fight ward ?

Theyre not the A side yet, though his drawing power may have. His career high is 900k, less than half what Ward made for his last tuneup.

[gmc_rfc_06]

No point in talking about where Ward will or won't go, he's fought once in 2 years and shows no sign of fighting again anytime soon.

So it's less 'why not move up?' and more, why not just fight someone?

[kej718]

Move up and do what?
Hopkins said he would not fight him
After Kovalev what is left (If he beats Hopkins)?
The 2 biggest fights he can make would be at 168 (Chavez Jr, or GGG). There are a lot more names here.
