Dawson offered Ward at 168. He was the one who came up with that idea and Ice Man even verified it. You vilify Ward for a decision that Chad made?
There's a reason that everyone believes Ward in this situation and there's just a few hardcores who cling onto the idea that Golovkin actually wanted this fight.

And saying anyone from 154-168 doesn't mean whenever they want, however they want. The 164 was them being asked if the fight was to hapoen before they moved up. It was hypothetical.
Now if Ward was unwilling to grant Dawson a CW, why should GGG offer him one. GGG should of done like Ward did, say 160.
Unlike Ward, GGG would of met in middle. Unlike Ward, GGG will fight out of his backyard. Ward will only fight at home, even the Kov fight is him fight in U.S., over anywhere else.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostGGG fans need to admit he didn't want anything to do with Ward. No shame in admitting he only wanted to move up for the easier fights that paid more money. When it's all said and done GGG didn't want anything to do with Ward. If you say you can't duck a guy not in your weight class you also gotta admit Froch and Chavez jr didn't duck GGG
Everyone does something weak at some point. May fought Berto. Ward fought Brand. Canelo and Cotto avoided Golovkin while holding MW belts. They all do something weak at some point. These guys just just can't come to terms with that and it's sad as hell.

In fact, Sanchez even said 154 to 168 again a month or two ago.
