Gabriel Rosado says he never asked for a catchweight to face middleweight titlist Gennady Golovkin, and has officially rejected a maximum weight of 158 pounds to fight at the full 160-pound weight limit.
Now I ask You
WHY IS GGG OKAY FIGHTING ROSADO AT A CATCHWEIGHT BUT NOT CANELO?

Same reason he was okay to fight Chavez Jr and Carl Froch at 168

CARSON, Calif. -- It seemed that WBA/IBO/WBC interim-middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (31-0, 28KOs) had his big fight, but the matchup with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fell by the wayside.
However, the fight is not dead in the water.
Speaking at the post-fight press conference Saturday after yet another GGG knockout, K2 managing director Tom Loeffler said the fight is still possible
But Wanted A Catchweight of 164 against Ward

Promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, who handle IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), says a fight can certainly be worked out with WBA super middleweight king Andre Ward (28-0, 15 KOs).
But the deal would have to be under Golovkin's terms and not dictated by Ward. Loeffler feels Golovkin has surpassed Ward as a ticket seller and in terms of name recognition - making GGG the A-side of the negotiations.
Now I ask You
WHY IS GGG OKAY FIGHTING FROCH and CHAVEZ jr AT THE FULL WEIGHT OF 168 BUT NOT WARD?

SHOOK!
Ward will fight Floyd at 160 but not GGG at 164
SHOOK
