What the **** do you want phone calls to Wards team? They made it clear they wanted 164. While pursuing fights with Froch at 168.
Promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, who handle IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), says a fight can certainly be worked out with WBA super middleweight king Andre Ward (28-0, 15 KOs). But the deal would have to be under Golovkin's terms and not dictated by Ward. Loeffler feels Golovkin has surpassed Ward as a ticket seller and in terms of name recognition - making GGG the A-side of the negotiations.
The guy ducked Ward, turned down the offer in 36 minutes.Comment

Correct, they turned down Ward's PR stunt offer immediately WITHOUT sending any counter offers or asking for any catchweights. Loeffler just told Roc that if they wanted to fight GGG on those terms they should come back in 2017.What the **** do you want phone calls to Wards team? They made it clear they wanted 164.

And they didn't do that WHILE pursuing Froch at 168. It seems like the concept of time and chronological order is something you have difficulty with.Comment

Not sure how Brook coming in at roughly the same weight as Golovkin makes this an even fight. If anything it's to his disadvantage since only 2 weeks ago he was training for a likely fight at 147. His chin will be a tad better due to not cutting weight like before, but how will he adjust to the added bulk. Just like Khan found out, the reflexes won't be as fast once he begins to fatigue.Comment
