    They don't want that fight........yet....never if they can help it. I'm sure GGG wants it.......but I think his advisors are worried about a lot of things there......

    The only time I'm aware of GGG's side agreeing to anything was for a catch-weight while Ward was sidelined due to promotional issues and it was at 164 at the same time they were trying to sign Froch to 168.....which pretty much speaks for itself and makes sure that the fight doesn't happen.

    If Canelo happens to win and asks for 155, what will GGG's side do?

    As for Dawson, you're backwards. Dawson had just beaten Hopkins and wanted the 'Ring' titles for both divisions.......HE ASKED for the fight at 168......didn't work out so well for him........

    All this "Ward is scared" or "GGG will destroy Ward" is nonsense. I love GGG, don't get me wrong. Kovalev too.........but when Ward fights either of them...he will beat them much more easily than people expect.....
    Have any proof to back up the claim that I highlighted? ANY PROOF AT ALL? Let's see it. Links? Copies of emails from Roc Nation to K2?

    If Canelo wins and asks for 155, all Golovkin will do is tell him NO. It is a mandatory title defense and Canelo or Cotto will have to fight it at the division limit with no conditions or vacate the title.

    You really don't know much at all about what is actually going on in boxing do you?

      Did Ward really ask for 60/40? If so, wow, the guy is even more deluded than we knew. But I doubt it, since you seem shaky with facts and such. HBO proposed Ggg fight Ward well before they approached Froch, and there's zero evidence Ggg insisted on 164 when he accepted. For one, Ward was the A side then and Ggg didn't have that leverage. Second, if there was a CW demand we would have heard it from Ward. All he said was the timing was bad for him

        Yea..........never saw this response. At the time I would have glady provided the proof.........I follow boxing VERY closely and I don't just run with headline or interview comments. I've followed it closely for 35 years.......clown.....
