Why didn't Ward accept to fight GGG at 164?

[sicko]

Really don't matter, he instead moved up to fight somebody MORE DANGEROUS while with respect to GGG he is still fight inferior opponents of course that is not his fault I get that but his Resume haven't improved AT ALL since the Ward back and forth

GGG fans and Abel Sanchez should probably just STFU about Ward because it is a argument you can't win. Ward is daring to be great by going up to fight someone who is TRULY the most dangerous man in boxing which is Kovalev

[bluebeam]

you conveniently are omitting the fact that GGG and Canelo are champs in the SAME DIVISION.

Floyd and canelo were champions in the same division as well remember? WBC WBA unification

And canelo still fought at a catchweight.

Now tell me how it's different?

De la hoya and hopkins were both champions in the same division as well remember? WBC WBA WBO IBF unification

Hopkins still fought at a catchweight.

Now tell me how it's different.

Know your history before you start making excuses for fighters.

Canelo is negotiating just like you said golovkin was doing.

Don't be a hypocrite.

All those guys you mentioned apart from Wade and Monroe Jr all have one thing in common...
They actual travel they're not afraid to fight in someone elses territory unlike lil Ward who can't jump on a plane for a rematch with the biggest PPV name at 168.

Ward is a nobody, unheard of you really think Floyd would jump up to 154 to fight Lara?
This is the same case Ward and Lara both talented but nobody cares or knows who they are.

So first your argument was ward is not popular enough. Then I give you Golovkin's resume of unknown fighters.


Now your argument is ward doesn't travel enough.

Lmao

[brettWall]

Truth was Ward didn't know what to do. He had admitted he can't make the weight anymore. Problem was, if he moves up there's the Kovalev danger lurking. He's confused as hell at that point. Meanwhile he had to play the GG card as long as it lasts. But he had to make a decision, move up or stay at his weight? He just picked the lesser evil.

End thread here. This explains everything in just few sentences.

D'oh they really don't know what they're talking about do they lol.

Hopkins vs de la hoya fought at a catchweight

Hopkins was wbc, wba, IBF champion
De la hoya was wbo champion

Just some boxing history for you fans who don't know **** about boxing. Boxing facts. Not opinions.

there is precedence for 2 champions in the same division fighting at a catchweight

So fighting Kovalev is a lesser evil than staying at the division you own with no threat in sight?

[Code Red]

So according to you GGG is a chicken for wanting to drain himself at 154 and fight Floyd... and what was he when he called Froch at 168 in the U.K.?

Thats the best you got...deflection, ok avoid the question good job, thats why you not worth debating

Pretty much. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he couldn't even make 168 anymore, he made the right call. Tough choice, gotta give him credit.

just because Hops and Canelo were willing to ********** themselves and bend over for a few pieces of silver, that means every other fighter is somehow obligated to do the same?

I agree with GGG that there should not be catchweights in mandatory defenses. I also believe there should not be catchweights in title unifications. The reasoning is that they are not necessary. They are simply a means for the more popular fighter to weaken the less popular fighter

[pvj]

The same reason why Golovkin won't fight Canelo at 155 lbs - it's fuucking ******ed.

And the winner is...

Going above ur apex is difficult, going below is damn near impossible. Especially once you've entered ur prime.
