Y'all buggin. This is what they should have said to begin with. A lot better than saying 164 or nothing.
EDIT: But yeah I'd like the fight to be at 168.

I think headlining PPV in a unification, then massive show vs Canelo/Cotto is a better path. Ward's got no such options. Can we assume this upcoming fight vs scrub fight will be his 2nd tuneup for Kovalev? Or how many does he need?

I can only imagine if I was a GGG fan and had to endure and sleep through him fighting 15-20 cans in a f.cking row = a very big deal

In fact you're not allowed to ask why Ward rejected fights with Bute & Stevenson either because he felt they needed to prove themselves more, while he says he'll fight Golovkin now despite also saying Golovkin needs to prove himself.
