    This has been an entertaining read. Thanks Freedom & the GGG defense force for the comedy.

      When you post something as a fact the way that HeroBando and Freedom do, you should be able to provide factual evidence.

      Using common sense, one could come to the realisation that it's eminently possible that there wasn't enough money to pay a legit LHW contender considering what the 3 main players on the card were making. A cheap bum was always more likely.

      It could also be that Gonzalez was offered the fight and turned it down over a short purse. Or that it just wasn't viable for that card.

      Again....zero proof Ward turned down the fight so why post it as fact?
      - ward's coach said he needed 3 tune ups,

      - he also recently said that he was forced to move up,

      - brand is a smw but the fight was scheduled to have place at lhw

      ^^ those are facts.

      now let's use common sense: gonzales is de facto undefeated, is a legit lhw and posseses a slight challenge due to his power. hardly a tune up.

      as for the purse thing, i doubt gonzales' purse would be something roc nation couldn't afford.

          When did Ward's coach say he needed 3 tune ups?

          And Gonzalez would likely be considered a tune-up for Ward anyway.

          None of your "facts" included HBO requesting the fight and Ward turning it down.

          So yeah.....we move on and throw this on the scrapheap with other things Golovkin fans made up

            Like, I can find multiple tweets saying Ward turned him down including jrosales, and zero saying YG priced himself out. You'd think after this ****storm of criticism Ward would come out and say "more legit guys like YG are asking for 1m+" not "Boohoo haters are forcing me up in weight"

                I guess he read it from sources he deems credible, to put you down like that. I trust his judgement over yours any time

                  What about Hougigo? You were name dropping him before but so far he hasn't backed you up

                    It's makes perfect sense.

                    Gonzalez is the only credible guy hbo has to offer ward outside of Kovalev and pascal.

                    Good opponent for ward, but I think it's a easy win for ward

                      No I found multiple ones, one of whom I consider reliable. Then I looked at other evidence, like who they extended offers to, and applied common sense.

                      So who do you think was acceptable to HBO, and how did they fall out, what's your guess? We know Smith didn't meet their standards already
