    In the case of Ward vs GGG, seems as only Ward fans want the fight to happen!
    As a GGG fan I want to see the fight and have faith it will happen. Second most of those Ward "fans" you speak of are just guys who ********** to the thought of GGG losing. They couldn't care less about Ward.

      It is similar. I never liked Ward even before I knew about GGG. I know Ward was very skillful but I disliked his excessive holding and holding and hitting. GGG has become my favorite fighter so I stick up for him when I think he is being trashed unfairly. I never thought it was reasonable to demand that he go up to 168 to fight Ward or be considered a coward. GGG is the best at 160 and Ward is the best at 168. If they fought at 168 Ward would probably out weigh him by almost 15 pounds on fight night. If Ward won on points it still wouldn't prove that Ward is better pfp. It would just prove that a good bigger man usually beats a good smaller man. Ward has left 168 and says he is never coming back to that weight. The fight between Ward and GGG at 168 is impossible now so everyone should just forget about it. They need to let Ward and GGG go their separate ways and compete at 175 and 160 respectively. They can still argue over who is the better pound for pound boxer.

          There are definitely a handful that want to see him lose, but all boxers get that. I think the majority just want to see him in a challenging fight, so that the hype he's getting is deserved.

            it has that May-Pac feel...no doubt!!...but the Floyd and Pac fans really believed in their guy!!...the little g fans don't believe in their guy when it comes to Ward....it's obvious that they don't wanna see this fight

              The fight was going to be at 168 man..and ya'll were asking Floyd who is 38 and who cant even make 154(which is his 5th division) to fight a 160 fighter...that is nowhere close to the same

                Unless Ward moves up to 175, I think the fight will happen late next year.

                  It'd be unified lineal SWW champ vs handicapped not so proven MW at champ's weight. It'd make more sense if Ward offered to go down to 160 for GGG

                    Ward gets to have 3 tuneups when moving up for KKKovalev but GGG must move up and face Ward straight away! no tuneups!

                      same damn fans riding with both fighters and blindly hating on the other

                      and if they fight it will be a boring 1 sided fight where 100 excuses are made after the fight rinse and repeat...

                      **** is down right hilarious..glad i dont have a dog in this fight,now i get to sit back and see how ****** it really is
                      Great thread larold spot on
                      We will have the same result too. Ward will outbox GGG to an easy UD
