    Loeffler didn't reach out to Hopkins, it was vice-versa.

      Try again.
      It's all just talk. They're not even trying to make the damned fight.

      Neither was Ward when he sent that bullshit offer to Loeffler.

      As you just said yourself, Ward was already at LHW by then.

          Difference being, Hopkins actually approached Loeffler about making the fight before Golovkin had an opponent, where DeCubas only tweets about it, less than 24 hours after Golovkin is mandated to fight Wade.

            I'm not going to make much of a deal about this, but I saw a lot of ggg fans discrediting lara for calling out ggg while he has a mandatory, but I hardly see the same reaction if Hopkins does it even know ggg still has a mandatory, like I said imho Hopkins is a better fight than wade...

              GTFOH, Ward's quoted saying he'd move up to LHW in December 2011!

              Super middleweight champion Lucian Bute was left out in the cold when the Super Six lineup was decided, and it seems he'll get short shrift again as tournament champ Andre Ward looks a different direction.


              Then #1 LHW - Dawson offers Ward 3 options - at 175 for his title, a CW for his title, or 168 for Ward's title. Ward chose option #3. Then after that Adonis Stevenson moved up to 175, KO's Dawson then offers to fight Ward at both weights. Ward says Stevenson needs to prove himself more. Get out of here with who's a pussy.


              Talk about Golovkin not fighting Lara, but Ward's being forced to fight Barrera because his other choices were deemed too much of a mismatch.

              First of all after Dawson beat Hopkins live on HBO he called Ward out at 168 stop mixing shyt up and hop off of lil g's nutts. Do I need to pull the footage of Dawson ON LIVE TV calling Ward out at 168?

              And as far as who Ward is fighting! Ward wanted to fight lil g's bytch made ass! His team and his promoters said 164 and Ward doesn't make money. But Adama, and Monroe, and Murray do? So those dudes bring in more money than Ward? Stop sucking that man's dyck.

              And speaking of resumes who the fuuck has lil g beat??????????? Degeale called his soft ass out, Lara been calling him out, Ward came up with the name lil g. Those three names that pussie wants nothing to do with them.

              I never in my life heard of any Ward fans saying they don't want to see him fighting Kovalev, lil g or anybody. I never once heard of Lara fans saying he shouldn't move up and face lil g in fear of losing. Lil g has the most bytch made fans I have ever seen. How in the fuuck can you claim this lame is one of the best but yaw don't want to see him fight anybody with a pulse. Like I said Ward lifts up his skirt, and beats the dog shyt out of lil g. ME YOU AND ALL OF US KNOW THAT. That's why you ******* don't want to see the fight.

              Lara exposes this clown and out boxes the shyt out of him. Degeale beats his ass as well. So these three fighters showed hella interest in fighting lil g yet they are showing interest in Grandpa Bernard?

              What the fuuck does that prove beating a 51 year old? The fuuck up thing is this would be lil g's best win. That's a fuucking shame. Now get his dyck out your mouth and shame the idea of this fight. Fuucking dyck rider

                Hopkins is 100 times the fighter that Lara could ever dream of. You really wanna compare these two? Whats Lara's best win? Austin Trout? Damn. How much experience does Lara have at 160? Zero.

                Does Lara even want to move to 160? His trainer says NO. All you read is DeCubas using GGGs name to keep the cuban runner somewhat relevant.

                Hopkins talks for himself, he is a man of his word, he already faced Kovalev and he was the guy who approached Loeffler/K2, not the other way around.

                Lara NEVER approached K2.

                  Hopkins said he wanted this fight (well, blatantly hinted at it, said "another similar champion at 160") after the Kovalev loss.

                  If he could survive Kovalev for 12 rounds there's no reason to say he can't survive Golovkin and he will have a size advantage.

                  Is it the best fight in the world? No. But it's better than pretending anyone cares about Lara. Lara is suddenly on the map ever since Ward admitted he can't make 168 anymore. Lets all pretend we like Lara now...

                    he is 50yo now, even then I think it could be fun to watch, but my point is that ggg fans used the ibf mandatory as an excuse to criticize or discredit lara for calling out ggg but then comes Hopkins and that doesn't seem to be an issue...
                    it has nothing to do with the quality of the fighters...

                      Pull the footage, here's the quote:
                      “I would love to fight Andre Ward,” Dawson (31-1, 17 KOs) told HBO’s Max Kellerman. “Bad Chad” then shared he could get down to 168 or make it at 175 pounds if necessary."

                      And later at the press conference (~5:20), Dawson says he could make 168, but would prefer his comfort zone of 175. Ward was quoted just 4 months earlier saying he'd take a big fight at 175, but yet he held Dawson to the 168 offer.




                      Also, DeGale called Ward out last year after he won the IBF title and Ward turned him down. DeGale made fun of Andre for not wanting to fight him.

                      DeGale has said multiple times GGG is too small for SMW. He'd like to fight GGG but says he's a proper MW.
