    But we Ward fans actually want the fight, the Golovkin fans don't. That's a fact.
    But why dont you want Kovalev instead now that GGG has better options at MW (Cotto)? Ward-Kovalev is at least as good a metchup as Ward GGG.

    Why the double standard?

      Disagree. There's Cotto and MW is the second most significant division in boxing.

          Hunter might not have said 'anything near that foolish', but Ward has said it himself! See above.

          Ward and Golovkin are basically the same size; though Ward is taller/longer.

He should move up to 168 where the comp is better. Once you clean out a division it's time to test yourself, further. Just like how people want Ward to go up to 175.
            Cleaned out his division? Are you on prescription drugs? Crack?

            Who exactly has cleaned out his division (years ago). Ward or GGG?

              I see right through guys. Stop it!!!
              Ward has nothing left at 168 for like 3 years now. GGG hasn't cleaned physical his division.

                Historically it is but at the moment it's a poor division that Golovkin is head and shoulders above the rest.

                Miguel Cotto is the lineal champion there for crying out loud.

                Andy Lee has a belt, a brain damaged Jermain Taylor had a belt until he was stripped for being brain damaged.

                Speaks for itself.

                The big fights and better fights are at 168.

                  I want both. And Cotto will vacate.

                    Ward doesn't say anything.

                    GGG's team start calling out Ward over and over again.

                    Ward says nothing.

                    GGG's team continues to call out Ward.

                    GGG fan boys: "Wtf Ward is obessed with GGG, move up fight Kovalev"

                    Ward years ago: "I want to move up to 175, but not until I'm done filling out"

                    End.
                    Ward in 2010:

                    "I need to fill out before I go to 175"

                      Not sure about most but I want Ward to fight both GGG and Kovalev. It makes sense for him to meet GGG at 168lbs first then move up for Kovalev. Ward has already stated that once he moves up he's not coming back down. Besides, after Kovalev who else is there for him to fight at 175lb?

                      We all know GGG will move up soon, Froch has already declined to fight him so after Quillen there are no big names left in the 160lbs divsion. Ward can get two big fights at 168lbs (GGG, Chavez Jr) before moving up for one big fight at 175lbs (Kovalev)
