Andre Ward said he'd fight anyone at 168 and 175

[The Hammer]

Froch? Wards best win. Though that didn't get far, Froch would rather retire. Quillin has gotten multiple offers, Chavez backed out when GGG signed the contract at 168...

Yes, they are avoiding GGG.

[Robbie Barrett]

GGG vs Ward would be a good fight. GGG fans don't want competitive fights.

After all, he wanted Dawson to move down from 175 to 168.

But he'll demand the fight be at 168 (and in Oakland so he can have a shady home referee like Jack Reiss to permit him use illegal tactics such as deliberate head butts).

Freedom, you are wrong. Dawson initially called out Ward. He said that he would fight Ward at 75,or 68. He said that he could make 68. Ward hadn't mentioned Dawson before than. Long story short, Ward took him up on his offer and beat him up. I'm sure you've seen or heard the video. Why do you insist that Ward >wanted< Dawson to come down to 68?

Ward is on the verge of throwing his career away, he needs to get in the ring as soon as possible. Never mind this who said they'd fight who or whatever.

But GGG should move up and test the waters. After they both have a couple of "tune up fights", they can fight each other in 2016.

After 6 tune ups on BET, Kovalev CAN get it.

Here it is, from ESPN, May 10 2012:

So why won't he fight Sergey Kovalev, who has three world titles, instead of repeatedly calling out smaller men like Gennady Golovkin and demanding they move up to 168?

Ward has always asked fighters to come up or down to him(Usually down as in Edwin Rodriguez & Chad Dawson)

I have seen the video.

In a post-fight interview, Max Kellerman asked Chad Dawson if he would move down to 168 and fight Ward.

In front of the TV audience, with his adrenaline flowing and confidence high after the fight with Hopkins, Dawson wasn't about to say "no".

Later Dawson realized he couldn't easily make 168 and asked for a catch weight against Ward, but Ward (with the backing of HBO) said "no".

This article was in 2012... Neither GGG nor Kovalev were on HBO during that time. That's why Ward said it, now he just fought at 172 and stated it's to move to 168. He's not calling anyone out except people he's already beat (Froch)

[The Hammer]

Sergey Kovalev wants to fight Ward at 175.

No conflict between networks. Why not?
