    But since you bring it up, Andre Ward said he would goto 160 to fight Floyd Mayweather. By your own words he should do the same for Golovkin. Send him an email an let him know your idea.
    When he said that he was in his mid twenties, now hes in his 30's, thats not gonna happen. Golovkin can easily easily make 164 for example and im pretty sure Ward would probably take that just for the opportunity and the reward he would receive for beating the unbeatable machine

      That's assuming a lot, man. Ward's next fight is at 172 pounds. Ward has shown to be pretty demanding in his negotiations - usually it's his way or the highway (see Dawson asking for a catchweight, Ward refusing. See Ward demanding all his fights in Cali, Ward demanding huge paydays for tune ups, etc).

        Why fight the best when HBO will pay you millions to fight the Willie Monroe Jr's of the world while hyping you as the best MW ever?

          No need to make up 'tune-up' stories lol, Wards ready cause he knows stylistically this is his kind of fight any day of the week.
          HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Falling back on the old email that Ward's LAWYER sent to Lampley almost a year ago when Ward was so tied up in court that he could not accept any fight against any fighter and was using GGG to keep his name in the news. Things have changed considerably since then, in case you had not noticed. Ward ha signed with Roc Nation and has stated that he needs at least TWO tune up fights before considering a major challenge. Tune up fights that have been refused by both Showtime and HBO.

          Wake up! It's 2015!!!

              It's 2015 and Golovkin is still fighting bums. Not much has changed.

                its 2015, and neither Quillin nor Cotto has the stones to fight GGG. Not much has changed.

                there, fixed it for you.

Lara is a tough dangerous fight but if Golovkin were able to blast him out his stock would rise unbelievably, these are the guys he should be fighting while waiting for Cotto to eventually grow the balls to face him
                  Nobody from GGG's team has ever called out or challenged Floyd.

                  But Abel Sanchez has challenged Ward to send them an offer if he wants the fight.

                  Does anybody know if Ward or his team responded to this challenge? If they did, I haven't heard about it.

                    Ward this, Cotto that, Lara no..................Who gives a crap. The facts are that if GGG ever wants to be included in the conversation of great fighters, he needs to upgrade his opposition by a huge step. That no one will fight me crap only goes so far. He's 33, TIC TOC

                      Yeah Andre responded, he told Loeffler to stop talking about him.
