Surprised nobody mentioned this . Hell ... James Toney would make 160 lbs if Floyd called him to fight .

James Toney would stop eating burger king for a year for that type of money.

Its called a bravado statement, he could never make 160, strange you cant read between the lines with these things when it suits your agenda.

Ward would destroy GGG I think we all know that by now.

Given that Ward would have had to drain himself to make 168 I would pick GGG to beat him at that weight .. and beat him badly.

Like .. "anyone from 154 to 168"

Fan of both, lean more towards GGG, but dude.....c'mon. Ward would smoke his boots.

168, 175, whatever weight.

"No." -Andre Ward on fighting GGG.

The predictable excuses are already flowing in. So now we need to "read between the lines". Or it was about money. If it was about money then why did Ward even claim to want GGG at a catch weight? Floyd at 160 is a money fight but GGG is only a money fight at 165?

People with small minds seize little bits of information and try desperately to extract meaning out of them. Might you be doing the same? Some very intelligent posters like Red Fox gave you some very compelling reasons why Anybody, not just Ward, would chase Floyd. Its the payday, and McGregor was willing to get pasted for that kind of money also. Its also the bravado, Floyd talks and people talk back.

Ward has a history of fighting tough opponents what would scare him about GGG? Ward fought in a tournament where the best fighters from the division were put in the mix, that would be like someone putting all the heavyweight prospects to fight each other and one man standing. So what is it in Ward's disposition suggests that he would fear GGG?

Thats the problem with the fools who keep this argument up, there is no pattern, no motive, no reason to this conclusion.

Finally, hey! if I am deathly afraid of garter snakes but will fight a rattler at the drop of a hat...what difference does it make? After beating a bunch of physical fighters, like Froch, and Kessler, etc and making it look easy, instead of dismantling another one, (garter snake ggg) he went after the big bad Rattler named Kovalev. So...again what if Ward did fear GGG? (he didn't just saying), he fought a much bigger, more dangerous opponent.

I mean think...If Ward dismantled whom he did, what does GGG have to throw at him that he didn't see at that weight?

[billeau2]

GGG couldn't even hurt a gassed out Canelo. Face it dude just isn't that good.

Hes probably in the general ballpark of talent that Froch, Kessler were, the type of guys that Ward dismantled at will.

If by "smoke his boots" .. you mean grab, hold, spoil, head butt, low blow and rabbit punch him for 12 rounds then get the decision from 3 corrupt American judges then yes, that would be a possibility.

Yes he really meant selected guys from 154 to 168 Ward was not one of the selections. Team GGG knows he cant beat Ward that's why they went very quite at the time concerning Ward but to save face in public they pick a weight then know Ward cant make, fans swallow that sht all day long.

After GGGs last 3 fights its obvious Ward beats the breaks off him and its only one division not many divisions like others have gone.
