The offer was to fight at the beginning of this year with each having 1 fight before. So even if the Lemieux fight was signed it didn't matter.
It mattered because of
with Roc Nation aware the World Boxing Council designated Golovkin (33-0, 30 knockouts) the mandatory challenger to a then-pending Miguel Cotto-Saul “Canelo” Alvarez title bout that will be fought Nov. 21.
GGG was in the spot to secure the Canelo/Cotto fight, he cant just sign a fight for a specific date in a year and thus pass on the Canelo fight.

You are like a stubborn child, its hilarious.
Ward has moved up and is taking a risk fighting a P4P fighter. Lil' Gina is sat around fighting bums, hoping to be given a pay day. Says a lot about the mentality of both fighters.
This fight wasn't going to happen at any time anyway. The money wasn't there. Both guys would have had to take a marginal increase that wasn't worth the risk. They were in 2 different divisions and by the time GGG was looking to move up in weight, Ward was already inactive (and when he came back, he was already fighting at LHW).
Updated the thread for you with link that proves when the offer was sent.
I think deep inside you all know it was a clever move by Ward and you fell for it.
Not one person with a right mind would have accepted that deal.
Has 0 to do with anything you posted man....this thread is pointless... I am tired of the Monroe,Wade type fights..If he isnt fighting Jacobs,Canelo or Sunders next he need to move up and fight a champion there..enough of these dumbass fights
It was propoganda, obviously! Only a scared coward would call out Golovkin for a fight at 168 and then immediately run to 175 to fight Kovalev.
Ward is a bad example for boxers today. If you don't get a big fight in your weight class, you shouldn't run to the next weight class and secure the biggest possible challenge. Instead you should just remain in your current weight class fighting stumblebums on house arrest.
