    If Ward beats Kovalev (which won't be easy) history will show that Golovkin robbed SOG of a chance to get wins over the two great "Russian school" boxers of his era. All because of GGG's ducking or being a businessman or whatever you want to call it.

    It's a damn shame and I don't blame Andre one bit for having no love lost towards GGG.

      What if they do fight in about 2 years? Then what?

        Glad to hear you're on board for the 155lb catchweight.
        HUH? How about you and I go into business the next 2 years. Here's my plan...You're going to go into the office and work your ass off every day. I will make a single appearance at said office at some point but don't worry no one will notice me. At the end of the 2 years, you'll sign a contract that says we are 50/50 partners in the company. You can remain at your current weight, but I do want my name to come first and the company will need to move to my hometown.

          Once again...you're either playing A-side/B-side, or you're not. Which one is it?

              What do you mean? How did I come off as either A-side or B-side? I offered you 50/50. You can even have your name first and you don't have to move. How's the deal sound now?

              No A side/B side means meeting in the middle...50/50 @ 164. That was a very generous suggestion considering one guy worked while the other didn't. That's not an A side attitude at all.

              If you feel otherwise, give me your pitch to GGG to accept Ward's offer. I'm dying to hear this....

                it was widely reported that the offer was a 50-50 split, 15-18 months down the road after a few Ward tuneups. It would have resulted in GGG giving up his Canelo mando spot, as well as being stripped of the IBF title.

                In other words, it was a ridiculous "offer", that nobody (except for the GGG hate squad) took seriously. It was the same as if you were looking for a new house in 3-6 months, but some realtor wanted you to sign a contract for a house that wouldnt even be built for a year and a half down the road.......
                Why do you keep on repeating this 15-18 month crap? The offer was for the first half of 2016. It was only one tuneup in between.

                  If Ward mans up and fight Kovalev then I don't mind him moving up and away from Golovkin. If there is any reason Ward avoids Kovalev, however, that really looks bad.

                      I didn't think this was a difficult a concept to grasp. You quoted me with myriad excuses for GGG ducking Ward. I brought up you being ok with the 155 catchweight, you know, since Canelo is the A side. You're fine with that situation too right?
