    No, both Adonis and Kovalev want it, its being held up by the management issues between two.

      Fight somebody soon, then get in there with Kov. I don't care for the ggg talk. Avoided by guys like Cotto, Canelo, Sturm don't do anything for me. He's got the belts, he's the best mw in the world so he can choose to fight the guys he's been fighting and please his fan base or move up onto another set of challenges. I really do not care.
      Giving him flack for not going up to 168 but the 3 times he tried he was avoided.You're forgetting Froch, Chavez Jr, and Ward in 2012 because all of them viewed him as too big a risk. Later both GGG and Ward ducked each other because they both viewed themselves as the A side(Ward with his asking of two tune ups just like he did with Kov and has yet to deliver, and GGG's team asking for that ridiculous catchweight.)

      There's only so much you can do if the people that matter wont get in the ring with you. Also there is nothing at 168. The most meaningful fight would be degale and he is moving to 175 and is George Groves left overs

        It doesn't look like the fight will happen this year. Not really a big deal as long as the fight happens next year.

          The Ward offer was to fight him at the beginning of this year, it was allowing each a fight before, so Golovkin could have still fought Lemieux. Turned down in 10 mins and they said maybe 2017. Stop the bull**** lies.

            And at this thread turning into an attack on "Lil mark ass buster G". His detractors and cheerleaders can both go fuck off.

              Ward wanted 50% and tune ups just like now and still hasn't delivered to fight Kovalev. If that's not ducking i dont know what to tell you.

              Now stay on topic and answer... when will Ward fight next? When will he fight Kovalev? The answer is he wont fight Kovalev because he knows whats coming.

                You're throwing shade at the wrong guy.

                If they don't fight this year,Kovalev can use the extra time to learn how to move his head and stop squaring himself up.
                Maybe you can spar with him...instead of leveling generic criticisms to make yourself appear knowledgeable.

                  Golovkins team said they want a 50/50 split. Golovkin was wanting to fight Lemieux so was accommodated. Turned down in 10 mins, maybe 2017, 164.

                      Sharbanskky ducked. He was offered his highest payday and he priced himself out. Cleverly took a more lucrative fight against that German dude who never fights outside of Germany. Sharbanskky isn't doing anything and HBO isn't giving him any dates. He ducked Ward.
