The only one that ducked was Ward, he never refuted turning the fight down in 2013.

well yea of course if you are being unbiased and looking at things fairly. ward didn't want any part of good fighters during that 4 year period. its so obvious. we have the details about who he tried to fight and more importantly who he turned down. yet these same people who ignore all those ducks are trying to say ggg ducked because he wouldn't do everything a b-side wanted? ridiculous.

another further point that i want to make. all signs pointed to ggg getting that big fight against cotto-canelo winner so why would he lock in a 50-50 split with an unpopular guy before that fight took place? he would be an even bigger star and would still have to give unpopular ward 50-50 uhh yea thats not smart. ward fanatics are playing captain hindsight now that it looks like canelo might duck. once again its ggg's fault that someone else is ducking him.

I dont know why anyone feels the need to try to hype Wade..the guy simply is not a world class fighter and the IBF is dead wrong for forcing this mismatch

Dudes are so caught up in defending their favorite fighter they can't call a spade a spade. This fight sucks. I dont care whos fault this is. The dude going to be fighting with a damn house arrest ankle bracelet on, was 176 pounds 30 days before fight night and was just arrested for drunk driving.

How quickly people have forgotten.

I'm glad Haymon pushed to make GGG-Wade. Making this fight means GGG vs Jacobs/Lara should be next in the event the Canelo fight falls through since Team GGG, HBO and Haymon can obviously work together.

No more excuses about BJS or your cousin's brother being the next mandatory or fighter in line.

Jacobs or Lara next. No more fcukin around.

If Jacobs or Lara get offers from Loeffler and Jacobs or Lara turn down the offer, that's one thing. But making an offer to Korobov because Jacobs or Lara didn't do whatever the fcuk GGG's fans think they should be doing to get a GGG fight is asinine.

Make the damn fight and stop fcukin around

That said, Sam Soliman is very hard to look good against. Very awkward. Always has been.

i don't think anyone is calling wade great. As far as i am concerned wade shouldn't be in the ring with GGG, but he is due to circumstances, as far as his drunk driving and ****** behaviour outside the ring... well that's not something you can blame anyone but wade... and wade will pay for it, doubt that GGG and company wanted an opponent like that. Only reason i ever defend match ups like these is if the goal of the fighter can't be realized without doing this sort of BS.

If GGG was out there hunting for big fights only with no disregard for belts and decided to take this fight that's ******... if he wants to be unified so that he can own a division and everyone would have to go through him or that he can decide he is done and move to the next big thing... that i am cool with supporting.

who said Wade was good? do you see anyone hyping him? Wade is probably better than paul smith however.
