    No its daring to be great. GGG is the one who choose a small guy in an attempt for daring to be rich.

      Golovkin was willing to fight others at 168 but not Ward. Golovkin is willing to fight Ramirez at 168 and then move back down, but not Ward. Golovkin ducked Ward only Golovkin fans claim he didn't.

        I agree that he had every right to demand 160. But I find it weird that they would take such a hard stance before negotiations even begun. Look at the Terence Crawford situation. That statement about 140 may have blown his chances at a Pacquiao fight. I think it's good to be show flexibility before negotiations even begin. I would've said something like 155 would be tough to make but i'm sure we can find a reasonable weight.

            Not just Ward. He also offered Rodriguez a contract at 164 with a 10lb rehydration clause. The whole 154-168 thing is a marketing ploy

            “I would love to [fight Gennady], his team and promotional company send me a contract to fight at 164lbs and next day they say I have to be 10lbs off. They go on HBO and say they’re big enough to fight anybody from 154 to 168, after I win this tournament I’m open if you want to fight me. My weight is 168lbs, come and get it.”

            Rodriguez explained further that not only was he dissatisfied with the terms of the fight, but he also felt frustrated about the situation in its entirety and even took a stab at what a catch weight could suggest about the confidence in Golovkin and his team.

            “Don’t send me a contract saying I have to be 10lbs off or come down to a catch weight, I’m a super middleweight and you said you’d fight anyone from 154 to 168 but then you’re fighting guys at light middleweights. If you’re really as good as you say and your team really believes you’re that good then move up and fight me at 168 and stop sending me contracts that aren’t even worth looking at.”
            Edwin Rodriguez is preparing to participate in a super middleweight tournament consisting of 4 fighters, beginning March 30th when Rodriguez steps in the ring with Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna. That same night Zolt Erdei will square off against Denis Grachev, with the winners meeting in July. The finalist will compete for a million dollar purse with

                  Get that bum ass shi.t outta' here.

                  Brook is 5'9..his height isn't restricting him.

                  Floyd is 5'8..his height never restricted him.

                  Duran is 5'7...his height didn't restrict him.

                  Cotto...Manny...ect ect ect

                  Don't make such lame excuses for that old coward Golovkin.

                      ..because others are required to challenge themselves and take risks.
