    I know GGG said 154-168 several years ago just like Ward said he would drop down to 154 for Mayweather. So that is a wash right there.

    But at the time, that was a more than fair offer. #1 160 vs #1 168. Meet in the middle. And 50/50 when GGG had higher ratings.


    Why did Andre tuck like a transgender?

      He was not the B side against ggg and he was willing to seek out money north of his preferred division.

        like i stated in the very first post. Ward offered to come down to 160 for Floyd by his own mouth. GGG's camp said 154 to 168.

        That is a wash. do you know what that means? there's no point in going back and forth on that. just LMAO




        The point is, GGG was #1 at 160 at the time of the offer, Ward was #1 at 168.


        Fair offer.


        Whose fault is it Ward got fat and became as quiet as a rat pissing on cotton when he was publically called out?
        The brain damaged one is you. I explained to you why Ward couldn't make 164 and your dumb a$$ is off on some rant about him getting fat. Ok, genius when was Ward publically called out? Never.

        Offering Froch and Chavez Jr 168 but not Ward, straight up DUCK. Deny it, I dare you.

        Ward moved on to fight the real light heavy weight champion in killer Kovalev, g string moved on to fight the #3 or #4 welter weight. So which one is avoiding quality opposition? Deny it, I dare you.

        What they said - we'll fight anyone from 154-168

        What they meant - we'll fight anyone from as long as HBO approves, as long as we dictate all terms, as long as we get the lions share of the money, and as long as your name isn't Andre Ward.

              Acting like adults is alot to ask of boxing fans on the net.

                stop deflecting the topic with the same **** I already addressed in the opening post AGAIN. Let me guess, u were raised by single mom right? once you get emotional your brain just malfunctions like a female.

                Ward also said he'd go to 160 for mayweather why not GGG? Tucking coward?



                #1 160 at the time

                #1 168 at the time

                no fight scheduled

                50/50. meet in the middle at 164 lbs.



                Why did coWard tuck?

                  Nice distortion of the facts, but the more likely scenario would be that team g string knew Ward couldn't make 164 so they insisted upon it. That way they could save face by not having to out and out duck Ward but wouldn't have to actually fight him either.

                  Again, Ward moved on to fight the real light heavyweight champ in the killer Kovalev and g string moved on to fight the #3 or #4 welter weight. So Who's avoiding quality opposition? I'll give your pea brain a break and straight out tell you. It's not Ward.

                  I wasn't raised by a single mother, but I'm starting to believe you were raised in a whorehouse. Once your pea brain gets emotional, you think like a whore

                    So Ward got fat and moved up to fight GGG's leftover is the excuse.


                    Whose fault is it, that the Ward tucked at GGG's offer?

                      I mean the demographic must understand Ward beating off for a year and half eating pies to balloon up in weight is his fault. nobody else's.

                      He tucked when the only fair offer was made. The only one that ducked was coWard. Period.
