Golovkin has no trouble making 160 and Kovalev doesn't want Ward. Why would Krusher want to defend his titles for peanuts against a challenger who would be paid twice as much as him? I think he's going along with Andre's game for the publicity it brings him, and knows the fight will never happen.
The only people pushing for Andre to fight Kovalev are Roc Nation and HBO. Roc because they don't want to pay him $2 million to fight cans and HBO because they don't want to screen fights like that.
If Ward can still make 168 and he wants to fight GGG, he should stop trying to rip off Jay Z and the fans, get his arse back down there and do what HBO told him to do 3 years ago: Raise his profile by fighting meaningful opponents at 168 while Golovkin collects more belts and the lineal title at 160.
If he did that, GGG vs Ward, at 168, could be a huge fight in a year or 2. But can Andre still make 168?
Personally, I don't believe he can.
