    Ggg is spending his entire career at 160. He cleaned out the division. Why doesn't HE move up...

      smdh...he turned pro at middleweight and was never a natural lightheavyweight in the amatuers....before the olympics he won national championships at middleweight...he moved up so Dirrell could fight for the middleweight spot...otherwise we would have been weak or had no fighter at 179 for the US

        Were you guys even following boxing in 04-05? He turned pro at middleweight for gods sake...first fight over the limit as a pro was his last fight

            He said in an older interview probably can't make 168 and struggled to get down to 170 in camp but OK. Sure thing.

            I'm glad it happened whatever the reason.

              I think Ward is a fantastic fighter but he's kind of a ****.

                In stark contrast to their policy as it pertains to the Triple Duck...

                    nope he's daring to be great! and he's fighting kovalev because he wants a challenge not because hbo made him do it. he would fight koavlev for free amir khan style!

                      After Ward sons Kovalev the Golovkin Girls will claim that Ward is ducking Bumlovkin by not meeting him @ 168.
