      Which part? That Ward & Hunter said they need to move up to LHW the 'right' way? That's been done numerous times by both.

      Here SOG says he needs to build himself into a 175lber:
      WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (27-0, 14KOs) is less than week away from his scheduled return. Ward, who's been out of the ring since November 2013, is back in the ring on June 20th against Paul Smith at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. The fight will headline Roc Nation Sports' first televised event on BET. Ward is returning on a new network, with a new promoter, and a rugged opponent. But, most fans are more fixated on Ward's return weight. The fight with Smith is taking place at a catch-weight of 172-pounds.


      Here Hunter mentions a few weeks ago that Andre's not ready for 175:



      But you bring up some interesting questions. Ward/Dawson was 3 years ago, we never got Andre's ring weight vs Rodriguez or Smith. In fact Ward/Dawson is the only fight on where Ward's rehydration weight was shown. What's he hiding?

      As for Kovalev
      November 2013
      Kovalev: 181
      Sillakh: 185

      March 2014
      Kovalev: 183
      Agnew: 187

      August 2014
      Kovalev: 185
      Caparello: 185

      November 2014
      Kovalev: 188
      Hopkins: 182

      March 2015
      Kovalev: 189
      Pascal: 185

        COWARDS!!!

        Abel, Loeffler, Gennady...all of them.

        168 is good enough for Froch and Chavez but not Ward and I know why....because he will actually be fighting someone with a ring IQ that won't get hit with the same punch twice.
        175-172 = 3 pounds

        168-160 = 8 pounds

          Ward can move to 175 after he beats Golovkin at 168. What's the issue?

              Ward can move to 175 now while GGG unifies his weight class. What IS the issue? Must be the tune up fight that Ward wants with a 160 pounder, huh?

                That's what Golovkin fans pray for. Ward moving to 175 so their boy is safe

                    Still no evidence that Ward has a big weight advantage over Golovkin. The only evidence we have points to it being around 6lbs at most.

                      Just acknowledge that Gennady and his team don't want to fight Ward.

                      "He turned us down 3 times, doe..."

                      They flat out lied and have now been called on their ****. Gennady and his team need to shut up about 168, continue calling out welters and fighting no-hopers. It's worked thus far.
