    Would it take Ward losing to Kovalev at 75 and moving back to 68 for GGG to fight him

    We all know that Golovkin was too afraid to fight an undefeated Ward at 168.

    But what if the circumstances were different next time around?

    Let's say he loses to Kovalev and feels that he doesn't belong at 175, so he moves back down. Let's say he starts negotiations with GGG again. Not only will he be coming off a loss, but he'll also be going down in weight. That's a double negative for him, while GGG's only negative would be to move up 8 measly lbs.

    Would Golovkin take the fight then, under those circumstances considering Ward would be at a handicap? What do you think?

    If you followed the sport, you would know that Ward said after his last fight that he can't make 168 anymore and making 175 isn't easy.
    Why don't you follow the sport. bro?
    Why do you talk ****** **** when you don't know what you are talking about? Anyone with an IQ above ****** level would want to know what they are talking about.
    What gives?

      I don't think Sanchez would every let him fight Ward. Abel already saw one of his fighters fail miserably hand have the Sanchez gameplan unraveled.

        He can't make 168 anymore, you guys are so ridulous thinking these men can drop off 30 pounds from their natural weight with ease once their over 29 years old. Just shows who really knows boxing and whose never trained or even been inside a gym.

        Fighters aren't afraid of each other get that through your novice head....
        Promoters, managers and trainers are "aware" of competition. Being afraid is for "fanboys" who grew up fearing a confrontation so they think it's normal to do so. Fighters don't fear each other they all respect each other even the ones that talk sh*! for their fanboys to hear.

          You seem quite angry at a troll. I'm surprise his name isn't "147-168 doe". They have to start banning these troll alts.

            Ward is cashing out against Kovalev because if he isn't ready now, he never will be.

              If Ward wins he should stay at 175 and fight. That division has some young and old talent that should provide Ward competition and money.

              Ward/GGG is very similar to GGG/Canelo. The Ward/GGG fight is likely never going to happen. If it does, GGG will wait Ward out the same way Canelo is doing to him.

                  I think GGG & K2 has to be more open to other 168 fights or catchweight fights. Since Canelo proudly avoided him despite the WBC mandate on the fight, Canelo & GBP agreeing to that mandate plus boldly stating that he was ready for GGG after decapitating Khan which was the gold under the rainbow fight for him. So now after all that parade of bs with Canelo it seems like there is lil to no chance it happens or at best its has lil to no chance of happening within a year thus other options are in play for GGG like never before I feel or I'd assume.

                    Agree & in general I'm not a huge fan of guys going up & down. I think its bad for your body to do that. I still wished Ward had moved up to fight Dawson instead of making Dawson come down. At least it shoulda been a catchweight fight.

                    Ward/GGG is very similar to GGG/Canelo. The Ward/GGG fight is likely never going to happen. If it does, GGG will wait Ward out the same way Canelo is doing to him.
                    What do you mean by GGG waiting out Ward in the same way Canelo is doing to him? I see GBP wanting to make a 55/45, 60/40 fight into a 70/30, 75/25 fight in a year or two with GGG being 35, 36 when they fight him, but Ward is younger than GGG so how is GGG waiting out Ward? In weight? If its weight I'd assume he's more or less done that with Ward moving up to fight Kovalev & compete at 175.
