Not true, Hunter said maybe after two more fights

when are these writers gonna realize they can quit asking ggg about ward. ward has pretty much givin up and is working toward a kovalev fight

I don't begrudge him wanting to get ready for Kolalev.

But Ward fans don't use that same logic when GGG is brought up.

Ward is much closer to Kovalev in size that GGG is to Ward.

But somehow GGG is supposed to drop what he is doing at 160, to go fight Ward LHW azz.

What about Froch? Froch was in the same weight class as Ward and people had no problem with the idea of them fighting....if you're a GGG fan then you're not being genuine because you already know why Ward even pursued the idea in the first place.

As a fan of both GGG and Ward, I'd rather they not bother fighting now anyway. Ward is judged differently, he wouldn't get any credit if he beat GGG.

Jesus, stay on task.

Froch fight at 168, and GGG likely wouldn't need to put on full weight to beat him. But sure, Froch is not better than Ward.

Doesn't that fit perfectly in what I just say. Twist away man, twist away.

Ward doesn't fight at 168, and he rehydrates much heavier.

Ward rehydrates to almost 190.

Besides, two different fighters. Ward is a difficult fight. GGG isn't looking to go to 168.

Besides, Ward isn't judged differently. He is getting credit for what he did 4 years ago.

He isn't testing himself. He isn't doing jack right now. He is being judged for that.

Ward is actively chasing a MW, but is a legit LHW size fighter.

Ask Ward about Kovalev, he suddenly says he'll do what's best for his family, and he needs to pray about it.

But he is all in to fight the smaller GGG.

I'm glad they said No More Step Asides

I'm sick of Cotto playing keep away with the lineal title, but not fighting his mandatory.

I'm sick of this idea some how Canelo is too small for GGG, but he is fighting for the MW title.

If neither of them want to man up, then GGG gets belt and moves towards unification.

And Team GGG has basically challenged Ward to produce the email.

If they are telling the truth, what does that really say about Ward.

i guess i mean they would be a lot closer on fight night then u would think actually but now ward is making the decision that he thinks ggg will never take the risk in fighting him at 168 so he better start working his way up to 175

ppl dont forget p4p fights..he can capture all those false mw belts from above average fighters...but 10 years from now he will be like they said with floyd pac...if they dont fight each (gggward) ppl are going to point to the Aside for not making the fight...and it should be that way...we deserve the best fights..with a p4p fight in between

ward has been off 2 years nobody is going to move up and fight the best off for 2 years....and also ggg brought it on himself when he said anyone from 154-168....
and ppl are rushing GGG bc he has a terrible resume and he's 33...another thing that ppl dont worry about with ward

i dont care who would get credit...i want to see the fight..haters cant change history..the fact will remain that the winner is the winner
