LMBO!!! Lets hope the two scary men kill each other.

Canelo should drop the 160 belt if he doesn't want to fight in that weight division.

I don't see GGG holding any 168 or 175 belts hostage.

Hopkins has lost his wanker. That's like saying Kovalev should fight Joshua. Same thing, two weight classes up.

Just shut up and give Golovkin his belt. This is beyond embarrassing now.

Goldenboy feeling the pressure. Scared as ****.




Except GGG offered Ward a 168 fight before. Kind of destroys that argument.

October 9, 2015:

As the finishing touches were being made to Golovkin's October 17th unification with IBF champion David Lemieux - Ward's promoter, Roc Nation Sports Chief Operating Officer David Itskowitch, emailed an official offer to Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions.

According to Loeffler , the offer was rejected because K2 had already finalized Golovkin's upcoming HBO Pay-Per-View fight with Lemieux - and the winner would become the mandatory challenger to the November 21st showdown between WBC champion Miguel Cotto and Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Loeffler indicates that their strategy, since last year, has been to unify the middleweight division.

However, during that period they did explore potential fights at super middleweight with both Carl Froch and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

When it came it Ward, Loeffler and Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez made it very clear that a catch-weight of 164-pounds would be required. They also feel their boxer deserves a bigger portion of the monetary split. Roc Nation's offer was an even 50-50 deal.

Golovkin came under fire for his catch-weight demand. Loeffler explained that Golovkin fighting at the full weight limit of 168 would only be considered if the event was financially worth the risk. They felt a fight with Ward would not have generated the same financial benefits as a fight with Froch or Chavez.

That kind of destroys your argument! That's GGG's promoter saying that they turned down a 50/50 offer, and demanded a CW that didn't apply to Froch or Chavez Jr. That's "business man" talk! GTFOH!

Why shouldn't Kovalev try his luck at heavyweight? Pretty much every great light heavyweight in history has tried his luck against the big boys.
