    Why does Ward-stans want GGG to move up?

    ....while they dont want Ward to move to 175 and fight Kovalev?

    Is there a double standard?

    Most definitely and I actually like Ward's style.

    Ward swept 168 lbs like no other and it is long overdue that he moves up to 175lb. GGG still has plenty of challenges that he can pursue at 160 lbs.

      Golovkin should move up eventually for a challenge. I don't think there's much for him at 160.

          Because this fight is better than Mayweather vs Pacquiao to me. May/Pac is more mainstream popular but from a fight perspective their both old and looking for a retirement pension.

          Ward vs GGG is the best fight in boxing right now.

          Why don't people want to see it? They won't be in their primes much longer.

            Ward fans DO have a double standard, I agree. HE should move the F up.

            But the real culprit isn't Ward -- it's GGG's trainer, who has mouthed off at least twice saying GGG could beat everyone at 160 and 168.

            So I blame Sanchez the loudmouth. Keep your mouth shut until GGG is ready to move up.

              Both should eventually move up. I want to see Ward-Golovkin first at 168 before Ward moves up though.

              The question should be...why are Golovkin "stans" so scared of that fight?

                Huge double standard. I've been asking why Ward hasn't moved up to 175 yet, he said he would after the Super Six.

                That was what, 5 years ago? Why can't Ward go to 175?

                Oh that's right, Kovalev.

                  For the same reasons all you guys want Floyd, Broner, and Danny Garcia to move up.

                    There is no double standard. Ward fans want GGG to move up to see the best fight in boxing after May 3. GGG fans want Ward to move up so GGG doesn't have to face him when he moves up.

                    I see right through guys. Stop it!!!
