That's just not true. The only time a real offer was on the table was in 2013 after GGG beat Macklin. At 168lb when Ward was fighting at 168. GGG said "Lets fight". Ward said "no thanks":

Ward went on to fight Edwin Rodriguez and then went inactive for 2 years and could not make 168 anymore, returned at 172 against Paul Smith where he had plans to feel out the new weightclass and build himself to LHW.
For his first fight since November 2013, super middleweight champion Andre Ward will face Paul Smith at a contractual weight limit of 172 pounds, Ward told Boxi
The offer was made by Roc Nation exactly an hour after GGG announced the Lemieux fight and his future plans with Canelo/Cotto and the WBC. (Ward being in Roc Nation with Cotto in his team knew exactly whats up, so he could put out that hoax offer which he knew GGG could never accept)
"Middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin has flatly denied quotes attributed to him by a U.K. based website, which were picked up by numerous other media outlets. “These are not my words in this interview,” said Golovkin.
“It’s unfortunate that this interview was posted online and considered by many to be Gennady’s quotes, none of which are his statements,” added Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions. “We are currently conducting negotiations for Gennady’s next fight and will not be commentating on any speculation about opponents. We understand the extraordinary interest worldwide in Gennady and look forward to making an official announcement at the appropriate time,” concluded Loeffler.
The fabricated quotes had claimed Golovkin as saying Andre Ward turned down an HBO fight with him and also that Ward changed weights in the Olympics to avoid him."
A usual suspect got exposed huh? By what? Ward/Kova makes GGG/Ward irrelevant. Hope that clears it up for you. Furthermore what would GGG/Canelo have to do with this??
Stop with the race bull****, not everyone that has a critique of Golovkin is a racist.
You've done nothing but make negative threads about Andre Ward and other black fighters, you must also be racist then?
The Kovalev fight is finally a done deal but you have to keep making threads "exposing" Ward, what don't you get?
Ward offered to face Golovkin at 168 when he still had titles at 168. Do you still expect him to face him at 168 after getting accustomed to fighting at 175??
What is wrong with you man?
You're just a fanboy at the end of the day that's why you frequently get drawn into back and forths with the other fanboy losers on this site. Your blood boils if anything negative is said about GGG whether true or not.
You'd have no purpose without posters like Canelomaidana, Larry and others.
First of all, please read and understand what I wrote before insulting me.
I said it's good to expose all the racists and haters. I never said all Ward fans are racists and haters.
Sadly a ton of these people comment on this forum and pretend to be Ward fans, when in fact they just want to fuel racism.
Damn i like Shawn Porter, Anthony Joshua, Kell Brook and Roman Gonzales among many other black fighters.
You still claim (or pretend?) the offer from Ward was legit. I get you. Ok I am really sorry for you.

I already made that clear, stop pretending you dont know exactly whats up.
I never quoted the fabricated UK interview, I only refer to the LEGIT Russian Interview which was translated by Badlefthook and Boxingscene, Loeffler himself stated it was legit:

The offer was legit, it doesn't mean Golovkin had to accept it.... I never once implied that Golovkin ducked the fight.
Oh you like those guys?? that's news to me man seeing as you almost never have anything to say about those fighters. Where are your threads defending Joshua from PED accusations, where are your threads crediting Porter for taking on all comers??
Anytime you make a thread on a black fighter I know what to expect, just like if Larry makes a thread about Golovkin I know what to expect. Look in the mirror, you are everything you despise on this forum.
If you think you're objective then I also feel sorry for you.

If this forum had less racism like for example another forum i like to talk on, yes i would gladly concentrate on the positive sides of the sport. I enjoy the sport and hate the haters. But I just can't deal with injustice and if nobody fights it, i'll do it.
I know Golovkin from his first steps in Germany trying to get that Sturm fight but was getting held back by his German Promoter who denied him the chances to fight for a title. Corruption and lies, he had to fight through it for several years until he got out of the contract in Germany and moved to the USA and signed with K2 and found his new trainer in Abel Sanchez.
Anyway, you are one of the good guys, but you also expect way too much from others on this forum or you are just good at ignoring the haters. I am not, i'll fight for justice. Sometimes with all means.
