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

[Lester Tutor]

Why didn't Ward accept to fight GGG at 164???? Because Ward is a chicken $#it and knew he would lose to the superior Gennady Golovkin. If Ward really wanted to fight GGG, he would have shed the weight and met him at the scale. But he didn't did he? Easier to hide behind the can't make weight" excuses than to step up to the challenge. Ward should have taken on GGG's initial challenge when it was offered to him, yet he chose to claim "the timing's not right" excuse.

that doesn'T make any sense. Froch or Chavez Jr. at 168 but not Ward? lol

Let me guess, ''but Ward didn't Chavez Jr..''

C'mon, Lil G fans... Stop lying to yourselves. Your hero Lil G feared Ward there's no other way to put it. I mean he was willing to fight Froch @ 172 but wanted a catchweight for Ward, LOL. Lil G is willing to move up to the full 168 limit to fight a bum like JCC Jr. Who lost multiple times yet won't give the same decency to a more accomplish fighter, dude is a disgrace who has never dare to be great.

[Herr Schmeling]

Ward completely ignored Golovkin's first approach to get the ball rolling. No answer at all. So there a two options: 1) he didn't want the fight like 2013 where he turned it down the first time in a meeting with HBO and GGG or 2) he was on holiday and missed the news.

Are you ****** or you just play out to be this dumb?
Canelo and GGG are champions in the same division, Ward and GGG were not. GGG is mandatory to Canelo, Ward and GGG werent mandated by anyone.
GGG and Canelo are of the same size, Ward and GGG are not.

YDKSAB, you are just another race supremacist.

The GG-hating jokers-turned Ward fans overnight are basically bullies, possibly even in real life. It's their way or no way.

Just saw a video by floydhype thompson interviewing Ward just a while ago. As usual, like Dontae and other race supremacists he was asking leading questions telling Ward that the GG camp was using Ward's name. In reality, it's him and his ilk that are using Ward's name to fulfill their agenda of hate. Man these supremacists will lie to their teeth just to smear anyone they don't like. Very dangerous people.

Why because he know's he would have lost he wouldn't make the Canelo mistake of being weight drained he seen how weak Dawson was when he fought him. Fighting a guy with power when your weight drain is dangerous

Umm, Ward called Floyd out at 160?

The reason why Ward would sacrifice eight ponds to fight FLoyd, is because the MONEY and magnitde of the fight.

The reason GGG would sacrifice more to fight Froch is the magnitude of the fight, and the money involved. Froch just did 80k in Wembley against the unproven Groves. GGG would have made AT LEAST double than he would in at fight against Ward, doing maybe 250k in the States.


Ward straight BITHCED OUT. NEEXXT.

So if it's about the money and the magnitude of the fight for golovkin. Why won't he fight canelo at 155?

Stop being a hypocrite.

[Cinci Champ]

they never gave him an offer for 164 it was just talk

[Herr Schmeling]

they never gave him an offer for 164 it was just talk

What was Ward's immediate reaction to that talk? Did he take up the ball and get it rollin?

[bluebeam]

Froch is a big name
Big PPV star
Well known
Big fan base

Ward average type of name
Not a PPV star
Not well known
Small fan base who won't travel

This is what it tells you and If you say anything other to this it just means you're delusional.

Ward beat froch in his prime.
Ward was regarded the best fighter in the world behind floyd before his promotional lawsuit

You are a ***** if you wanna fight a faded fighter who is contemplating retirement, but you don't wanna fight the man that beat him and is considered the best fighter in that weight class.

It's the equivalent of ward saying he will only come to 175 for Jean pascal because he brings more money to the table than kovalev. rather than fighting Kovalev who already beat pascal and is the man the whole world respects as the kingpin of the division.

See the flaw in that?

Ward fans can't wait til he fights kovalev.
Golovkin fans don't want him in a 50/50 fight period.

I happen to like them both and I wanna see them in the most dangerous fights possible. But that's because I'm a fan of the sport. Not a fanboy.


If you dont wanna see your favorite fighter fight the most dangerous guys out there you are a fanboy of a fighter. Not a fan of boxing.
