    No one at 160 stands a chance.
    I dont know whos ready and willing at 168 either. Maybe the Dirrells, which would both be good fights but not money fights, and Haymon makes it very unlikely.

      Much ado about nothing. Ward is not going to fight in 2015 so we need not have this discussion.

        They degrade any fighter that chooses money over legacy, yet claim this fight doesn't make business sense.

        A bunch of hypocritical, nuthugging slugs. Shameless.
        Aren't you the guy who says that the best in a division you have to be lineal champion? Or is that for Floyd only? Another double standard or...?

          Funny how Ward was willing to go down to 154lbs to fight Mayweather but wants GGG to 168lbs.

          I honestly think Ward beats GGG easily in a dirty fight just like the Kessler fight.

            Yeah, that's what he should have done post Dawson in 2012. instead we've gotten Rodrigues and a proposed Sartison fight.

            Doubt he'll go on a murderous run suddenly.

              Possible. Some might argue Geale being up there.

              That's again your opinion. Its not a fact at all. Id say there's Cotto, Quillin and Canelo along with a unification of all the belts and make history.
              Murray isn't on their level. Murray is a decent fighter at best.

              Geale isn't up there although it's probably his best win at the moment.

              Cotto ain't happening and most likely neither is Quillen.

              It's pretty damn obvious that legacy wise nothing is there at 160.

                you've obviously not read the actual article.

                  You are probably right and what would it prove? That Ward is the best at 168, we knew that 5 years ago. That Golovkin isn't as good as his rabid fans say? I think most people with common sense know that, they just like and root for come forward punchers who may have some defensive liabilities.

                  Can't we just say Ward is the best and keep his horrible style on the shelf and let GGG have his fun beating up on less talented folks.

                    He's proven at World level. That's more than can be said on the guys you mention. Note. That's not my opinion. Its a fact.
                    Geale isn't up there although it's probably his best win at the moment.
                    Opinion. He IS up there! See?
                    Cotto ain't happening and most likely neither is Quillen.
                    Is that your opinion or do you have a source?

                    It's pretty damn obvious that legacy wise nothing is there at 160.
                    Opinion.

                    I disagree. I have already mentioned several possible fights and a run for undisputed.

                      Aren't you the guy that thinks Sven Ottke is a great fighter?

                      You're the old guy in the insane asylum yelling at everyone telling them they are really the crazy ones. Your European bias is see-through. You truly believe beating the best is not a requirement for fighters.

                      Look in the mirror.
