    Look I'm a fan of the guy and yes he's been avoided to an extent but enough with this crap already. You're beating a dead horse back to life then back to death and so on....

      Every great MW has been avoided by the champion and top fighters for years before they were able to claim official dominance. Greb had to wait as the #1 contender for years before Johnny Wilson was allowed by the mob to fight him. Massachusetts senator Ted Kenneday and Speaker of the House Tip Oneil pushed to get Hagler a shot at the title b/c he had been so avoided. Hopkins never had his first title unification until he 35 years old, and that was after winning his first title as a vacant title.

      The difference between those guys and Gennady is today, there's 4 independent titles, so guys like BJS can hide away w/o ever having to fight Golokvin. Also, there's big tv money, where we see guys fighting only 1-2 a year b/c they make so much. They no longer need to fight the best to make the most. Before the Quillin fight, the most Danny Jacobs ever made was $550k, now he's calling $1.5mill chump change.

        GGG is p4p one of the most avoided guys in the sport. I also love how the Ward fans pretend the incident in 2013 never occurred and that Ward never ducked.
        And Pwill moved up like a man.

        Ward never turned this coward down

          If your saying he got KO like a ****** man fighting in a division he didn't belong then I agree with you.

          Ward ducked GGG in 2013 whether your blind eyes can see it or not.

            Gennady just doesn't have the right pigment

              You new fans think it's better to duck than lose.

              Got proof?

                  Gennady wasn’t too happy to hear Ward saying that he’s making excuses to avoid a fight, and Gennady fires back in epic proportion.


                  Ward then tried defending himself saying he had an injury but he got stripped of his title for never presenting evidence that he had an injury.

                    This is Golovkin making excuses for not fighting Ward.

                      Mike McCallum

                      Watched an interview where he met Hagler at a convention. Hagler said he respected him, and Mike fired back and asked him why he never fought him.

                      Ward not only ducked Golovkin in 2013, but he also ducked Stevenson in 2013. Notice something about Ward going into retirement? Asterisk, respect it, not Ward.
