    You know, even if GGG agreed to drop to 155 I'm not convinced Ginger wouldn't have found another excuse to avoid that fight. As it turns out there was no offer of a fight at that weight and in any case, it was a fight for the MW belt so why the f*** should he have to. It's well documented that the G man wants to unify the MW division. Unfortunately for us, he is so far ahead of every other fighter out there at MW he just happens to look invincible at the weight.

      Brook is doing what no fighter is doing nowadays. GGG didn't want to fight Ward at full 168, let alone fight the winner of Ward-Kov two weight classes up

            "He didn't want to fight Ward at 168"

            Oh please, it's been disclosed countless times Golovkin much like Pacquaio gets a name. He himself has said I fight who they tell me to fight and both K2 and HBO wanted to make the Ward fight. The irony is no reporter grows a pair and asks ward if he was offered the fight in 2014 or not, which many know he actually was at full 168.

            If you want to criticize anyone in that camp call out the proper person and that's Loeffler because even as a fan of the boxer his promoter sucks major @ss trying to placate everyone else.

Neither GGG wanted to move up or down a single pound to get a big fight. so Brook is actually doing what GGG won't. canelo has shed lbs to get a big fight . triple G string and his coached talked too much about anyone from 154 to 168 and when the opportunities were presented they folded worst than canelo. so GGG nut lickers cant say much.

                      October 9, 2015:

                      "Loeffler indicates that their strategy, since last year, has been to unify the middleweight division.

                      However, during that period they did explore potential fights at super middleweight with both Carl Froch and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

                      When it came it Ward, Loeffler and Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez made it very clear that a catch-weight of 164-pounds would be required. They also feel their boxer deserves a bigger portion of the monetary split. Roc Nation's offer was an even 50-50 deal.

                      Golovkin came under fire for his catch-weight demand. Loeffler explained that Golovkin fighting at the full weight limit of 168 would only be considered if the event was financially worth the risk. They felt a fight with Ward would not have generated the same financial benefits as a fight with Froch or Chavez."

                      Over the last few weeks, a lot has been said and a lot has been written with respect to a potential fight between WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30KOs) and WBA super middleweight king Andre Ward (28-0, 15KOs). As the finishing touches were being made to Golovkin's October 17th unification with IBF champion David Lemieux - Ward's promoter, Roc Nation Sports Chief Operating Officer David Itskowitch, emailed an official offer to Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions.
