    no, he offered to fight chavez and froch at 168. so it's still 154-168 but only if they are big money makers. i hate to break it to you, but ward can't even draw 50 people to a meet and greet in his own backyard. no one knows who he is.

      You *****s get your mouth full claiming Floyd fought ¨world champions¨, as if having a paper belt in this era with dozens of trinkets per division suddenly increased your value as a fighter

      It's WHO you beat and WHEN you beat them what counts

      Baldomir was a chump who got his 10 minutes of fame after beating overrated Judah and nothing more. Margo was the real challenge, the actually interesting fight and Floyd ducked him

      Guerrero, a bloated featherweight who hasn't done jack **** at ww, getting a shot just for beating a past prime Berto and getting an ¨interim belt¨. dont give me the ¨he was Floyd's mandatory¨ crap. As if Floyd ever cared about such things. but when Pac was mandatory ¨belts dont make me¨, or when Thurman was mandatory for 2 years *cricket chirps*
      Floyd fought this bum because it was an easy fight, he was getting 30 mill guaranteed anyway so who cares.

      Berto, shot to ****, with back to back loses against C levels Bumrrero and (shot) Soto Karass. you floydiots act as if it was the same undefeated Berto that Ortiz fought. and even then, it wouldn't have been a match people wanted to see. Floyd ducked Pacquiao to fight glass brained Ortiz, in another match nobody wanted to see

      GGG is fighting TOP mws in their PRIME and effortlessly DESTROYING them. that's what irks you.

          I wonder also. It's a mystery. Complete mystery. But methinks they just shook that Floyd is already getting overshadowed by someone he'd never have the cojones to fight.

            There's levels to this ****. GGGs name doesn't belong in the same sentence as ATG fighters.

              You can't have it both ways though.... Floyd can't have a bad resume while GGG has a good one, sorry but not in this world, dimension or universe. That ***** will not fly anywhere.

              If you're comparing Floyd's comp to other ATGs then yeah he had it easier than them but if you're bringing Golovkin into this then darn Floyd fought murderers row. Also if you think Macklin and Lemieux are elite then you need to log off this alt account cause you're delusional.

                floyd fans still pretending floyd didn't duck marg?

                he was offered 7 million but he fought sharmba for 4 million, then zab for 5 million. that's called ducking. then during the next round of negotiations he would have fought marg but he wanted a 20 million guarantee for the oscar fight...he only got a 10 million guarantee when he actually fought oscar. its like quillin saying he wants 10 million to fight ggg. not possible and everyone knew it wasn't possible. 3 different times he ducked the fight. just choose one! floyd fans can't choose any because they are fanboys so what do you expect.

                  If GGG was hated he would be crushing his PPV numbers. He's a really good MW fighter. And by the way there's nothing wrong with that.

                    Because the Baldomir fight was for the lineal title. We criticizing fighters for fighting for lineal titles now? The "dangerous" Margarito went on to get outboxed by Paul Williams doing a poor mans Mayweather impression.

                      why are certain critics making such a big deal that he didn't move to 168 where the talent pool is weak to begin with? who could ggg fight at 168 that would get it's own ppv? even if ward's irrelevant ass was still in that weight class (which he isn't), it still wouldn't generate as much buzz as a fight against canelo. no one outside of hardcore boxing fans and swag happy hipsters from oakland even know who he is.
