LMAO!

GGG ain't a bum but he is scared of SOG. His fans don't want to admit it, but GGG has the ULTIMATE RESPECT for SOG.

GGG doesn't need a catchweight for anyone else at 168, except Andre SOG Ward. His fans would rather play ****** and criticize Ward for not accepting the catchweight. LOL!

SOG has already exposed GGG, so he may as well move on to Kovalev. Kovalev is feeling himself right now and thinks he's ready for SOG.

Kov is a tougher fight anyway. SOG needs a tuneup at 175 then it should be on to the dude with the ******ist sounding accent ever.

I think it is pretty much clear to everyone that this is the truth, and i include the GGG3 (The groupies) in there as well. This is why they felt compel to defend this ridiculous stance. Fact is Team GGG knows they get a loss from Ward as of now, so i don't actually blame them from keeping him away from Ward. It's not like Ward is going to KO him but we all know he gets outbox in a UD............We all know. GGG himself knows.

How is that Ward needs a tune-up at 175 (even though he already had 172-limit fight and the difference between 175 and 168 is smaller anyway than between 168 and 160) but Golovkin shall accommodate Ward and go straight to 168 without any tune-ups?

Your post is littered with contradiction and ignorance.

You say GGG will only move up to the full 168 limit if its against a "legit A Sider"... Andre Ward is the most legit "A Sider" in the 168 division. How can you not know that and call yourself a boxing fan?

Also what do you have to say about GGG being more than wiling to face Froch and Chavez at 168? Are they more "A SIDE" than SOG? Don't kid yourself.

Lastly, it would be wise for Andre Ward to take a tuneup fight at any division that he's never fought in. In this case he'd be fighting the best guy in the division in his first fight at the weight class.

Boxing history has proven that isn't a wise move. Even Floyd struggled in his first ever fight at 135 and 154. Shane Mosley struggled in his first fight at 147 back in the day.

Boxers need time to grow into a new weight class when they change weight divisions.

Kovalev has been at 175 all his life. Nobody would expect him to fight the #1 Cruiserweight in his very first fight in the weight class.

And GGG could have taken a tuneup at 168 if he would have agreed to face Andre at 168. I'm sure HBO would have aired GGG's tuneup. But this all null and void because GGG has shown he fears losing to Andre Ward. Fight will probably never happen on an even playing field. GGG knows he can't beat SOG in a fair fight.

Don't mention Andre Ward and fair fight in the same sentence. Not after what he's done to Kessler's eye with his billy-goat tactic.

Ggg respects everyone, even Cotto. He's upfront about that.

[Slowhand]

He's a bum because he won't fight Jesus? Jesus would definitely be top P4P. He is immortal and all.

He´d have loads of UD losses, that turning the other cheek thing (also known as Mexican Helmet) doesn´t really work..

I didn't realize Lemieux was that much shorter than GGG... its gonna be a long..... or short night for him.

Its all posturing from everyone. Ward probably beats GGG, but ward is more likely to go up to 175 than he is to stay at 168.

Wards last fight wasn't at 168, and people think its because ward was out of shape and couldn't get down to weight yet. Thats not true. Ward is a gym rat, this whole time he has been out of the ring, he has been in the gym every day.

The truth is he is outgrowing 168, and would have to drain himself to make 168.

GGG's team knows this, and doesn't want to take a fight where ward comes into the ring at 180+lb for their first fight at 168, so they try to get a catch weight to make ward lose weight to be closer to his normal 168 weight.

Its all talk though, because Ward never intended to fight GGG, when he has a much easier fight in Kovalev waiting for him in a weight class that he has grown into, and actually a weight class that he won his olympic medal in.

Kovalev is clearly without a dance partner on the horizon, so Ward has much more leverage in negotiating a favorable purse than in a fight with GGG.

All the business sense, and physical realities, point to everything being hype to build back up Andre Wards name after his absence, and then swapping GGG for Kovalev.
