Golovkin's last two weigh ins were 158.9 and 159.0. Ward's last weigh in was 171.8. That’s a 12.8–12.9 pounds difference. You aren't ducking someone who weighs almost 13 pounds heavier than you.
The offer was made in 2015, and the weight for the fight was 168. It was GGG who stated "anyone from 154 to 168." 168 was cool for Chavez and Froch, but it had to be 164 for Ward! That's a duck!
