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

[M Bison]

Hopkins vs de la hoya fought at a catchweight

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

2 middleweight champions fighting at a catchweight.


Mayweather vs canelo fought at a catchweight

Mayweather was wba champion
Canelo was WBC champion

2 super welterweights fighting at a catchweight

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 can't go to 164lbs for the biggest fight of your career but but but 172lbs for Paul Smith Jr

What a coward ducker Ward really is, thanks for further exposing him as a coward.

[Flabulous]

Weight wasn't a problem for Lil G, Ward being too good was. Proven by the fact he wanted to fight others at 168. People mentioning money know Ward would have been by far the biggest pay day of his career, although at the time they were arguing Lemieux was a bigger draw and Lil G's PPV would sell 500k.

Lil G fans can try and skate around it with other excuses but the main reason he asked for 164 for Ward and not for others is because he was afraid of losing.

And the reason Ward *****ED, is because he KNEW he would lose.

That's all! Thanks!

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

LoL

You don't know who you're arguing with... Red Cyclone aka Freedom2016 (he renamed himself after a banned poster lol @ the mancrush) is one of the worst posters here, don't try to be logical with him..... he's not trolling either, he's just special.

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

I'm not saying every fighter should do the same. I'm saying that it's been done in the past when it came to making the biggest fight the sport has too offer.

Hopkins did what he had to do in order to get oscar in the ring. Canelo did what he had to do in order to get floyd in the ring.

Golovkin must do the same or risk fighting monroe level fighters for the rest of his career. Fighting those kind of fighters don't bring money or glory

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice to get the fights you want. Especially when it's a career high payday

[Cinci Champ]

u guys are debating none sense ggg team never sent ward an offer at all let alone an offer for 164 it was just a pr stunt to get the ggg groupies on his side for not wanting to fight ward

[bballchump11]

164 isn't a real compromise. Losing weight is harder than gaining weight. Ward would be dead. It's funny how clowns cry about Ward being too big and how he has to fight at 175, but then act like him fighting at 164 is plausible

[ThomasJK]

Are you serious?!?!?!

So according to you Ward is a chicken for not draining to fight Lil G...so what is he for choosing to move up to face the much bigger, stronger, and more dangerous Kovalev?

I would say it's a lot easier to gain weight and move up a division than to shed weight for a fight Ward knows he could very well lose. Shedding weight to fight GGG is too much for Ward to handle and risk,....besides, I doubt he possesses the work ethic to make it happen.

[Herr Schmeling]

What offer? Abel sachez is not a promoter or a Manager. He is a trainer. He said 50/50 164 catchweight. Not Tom Loeffler. So unless you got a video of Loeffler saying he offered Ward the fight. Stop spewing fanboy propaganda.

I have never heard Tom Loeffler say he offered Ward a fight. But I have heard him say team ward offered them a fight. It's just that the Lemiuex fight was already done according to Loeffler

Golovkin said it himself. Simple question: Whart was Ward's answer on that challenge? Did he reply? Did he got the ball rolling or was he quiet for 8 months?

By the way, here's the link: http://www.boxingscene.com/golovkins...0-split--93258

Loeffler said it and not Sanchez. So who's spreading fanboy propaganda now?

[-Kev-]

He's not a business man, full 168 or no fight

[Nod]

Ward has moved up a division. Why is the GGG defense force still on his nuts? He's no longer a threat.

They know that was an out right duck. His name still haunts them *****s
