Why do people want to see Golovkin face a fighter 2 weight classes above? (Ward)

[Dip_Slide]

This excuse that Ward is fighting at 175 is just lame, nobody said GGG should move up to fight Ward at 175, people are talking about GGG meeting Andre Ward at 168, please guys stop twisting facts, of course it doesn't make any sense for GGG to move up to 175 to fight anybody let alone Ward.

what realistic people wanted is GGG leaving this godawful 160 lbs division after last night's fight, move up to 168, get a fight or 2 against solid ranked guys while Ward does the same, then meet Ward at 168 next year for the lineal SMW championship of the world, legacywise it's really not that much to ask, and this fight CAN make sense financially if GGG moved up to 168 cuz then Ward will know he has to stay at 168 for a megafight with GGG and he'll fight more often and get his name out there again. GGG wants the easy payday against the winner of Canelo Cotto, which is understandable financially, but not legacywise, and the same people who talk about legacies are the ones defending GGG's decision which is realy ironic.

This is the fight everyone is talking about in the boxing world, there are like 10 new threads a day on this website alone about it, that would be a huge huge fight, it doesn't matter how Ward sells alone now, he can sell alone way more if he's active and fight with GGG even now would sell very very well, and will establish the winner as the best P4P fighter in the world without a doubt. If Ward wins he could then move up to 175 and fight Sergey Kovalev in 2017, which would do record breaking numbers by the time, that's what boxing fans should want to happen 2 excellent fights instead of one.

Ward is not even interested. This thing about Ward calling GG's bluff is bogus. You can't find anything concrete about it on the net other than Ward just blowing smoke. It was made up by internet warriors so they can say GG ducking doe. ;-)

Why does GGG want to fight a retired old man 2 weight divisions lower?

Career high payday

GGG should face Ward , but first he need to get all the belt at his current weight class

I wrote a fairly lengthy explanation of why I want to see this fight, but of course the thread got deleted....in short, Golovkin is just that good. At 168 he'll be at a major size disadvantage, but I think Gennady is special enough a fighter to do so, even against one of the best fighters in the game and the best fighter at 168. Any other fighter wouldn't get this kind of demand and I think that speaks volumes as to how good even his naysayers believe he is.

That being said, GGG deserves a chance to at least try to get Canelo-Cotto before looking at Ward (if he even comes back down to 68).

edit:
but to further answer your question, a lot of it is basically this:

Because they hate him. Hes white and not with PBC
