So Ward didn't duck in the amateurs and he didn't duck 3 times now in negotiations? Good to hear.

I like Loeffler, he seems like a straight shooter. It's some of GGG's fans that act like idiots.

lol or he just knows he had no choice but to come out and deny these knowing ward would not just sit back and take it

Recent quotes supposedly from GGG are false, he never said Ward turned down a fight 3 times and never said Ward changed weight in Amateurs

Like I was suspecting.

Why would someone bother to make up such specific quotes from Golovkin?

Sounds like more damage control from Loeffler.

You mean like Paul Smith? So fighting a guy at a catch weight,while that guy is coming of two losses is "fighting the best"?

After nearly a year and a half off, Andre Ward fought Paul Smith, a fighter coming in off of two 12-round decision defeats to Arthur Abraham, the first of which a case can be made that he won. Smith had been regularly active and was a good enough super middleweight to get two world title shots.

Pawn Paul Smith off as a can all you want; doesn't make it true

"Andre Ward is too much for me. Right now my focus 160"

The most telling part is that, when making that statement, you could see the dread in Golovkin's face as he even fathomed stepping into the ring with Andre Ward.

Smith on his best day did worse vs Abraham than Wilberforce Shihepo. Ko losses to Groves and Degale in prospect stage.

Sorry to break your bubble but Golovkin sells. And this gossip **** sells better.

Why did Ward fight at 178 at the olympics and not at 165? He was younger back then and now fights at a lower weight than his amateur days.

.... because Ward fighting a division up allowed Andre Dirrell, arguably the second best fighter on that US Olympic team, to participate in the Olympics.

Ward could eat whatever he wanted, weigh in at 172, and go on to win a gold medal at light heavyweight (178 max); Ward turned pro, fought one fight at 165, and then spend the next 7 fights, I believe, at 160 lbs.

Golovkin sells? Why isn't he a PPV fighter then?

Isn't it obvious? The quotes are controversial/provocative, making them much more likely to get the writer of the story more hits and views.

For someone who spends his life on this site day in and day out you're pretty dumb.

Only Manny and Floyd can make any fight on PPV. Any other fighter need strong B side.
