I don't know what you mean by the bolded. We are talking about GGG's mixed ethnic/racial heritage, so obviously, we do comprehend what "mixing" means.
Some people, especially Americans, have very strange ideas about race. They insist that GGG cannot be white, because his mother is Asian. Andre Ward also cannot be white, because his mother is afro American. But Kell Brook is black, even though his mother is white English!
And Canelo .. he has milk white skin, green eyes, red hair .. but he isn't white, because he was born in Mexico!

I doubt it. That would mess up his unification plans and breaking Hopkins title defence record. Ward announced he wants to fight Anthony Joshua and that he's interested in going up to cruiserweight.Comment

He'd definitely have been the underdog at 168 lbs vs. Ward. Let me see what he looks like against Canelo.Comment

I'm a big fan of Golovkin but Ward might be a step too far for many reasons. The most obvious being the difference in size. The second is Ward's dirty boxing that he gets a pass lon by the refs and media.Comment

Depends on the weight. At 164 or even 168, I think GGG has a great chance, although he'd have to negate a lot of Wards butts, elbows and low blows, so I guess it falls on the referee.
At 175 I think GGG is too small and loses not only to Ward but more convincingly to someone like Stevenson or KOv.Comment
