Was the 164 offer really that bad?

    I guess it did.

    Don't recall anybody every saying he ducked Floyd, but he did say that I believe.

      If we're holding fighters to what their trainers say, how about Hunter telling us Ward will be heavyweight champ at 30. Are you gonna dis Ward for not having one heavyweight on his resume? Trainers talk ****, it's one of the job requirements.

        Ok cool. That's what you believe so you also agree that ggg should have come down to 157 to fight canelo right?

        This right here is a true dlck rider if I've ever seen one.

        It's ok for ward to come down in weight and fight lil g. But nope, triple g don't have to come down to fight canelo even though he's never fought above 155. Lmao

        You can't make this shlt up

          Yes. He said he would fight floyd at 160. He didn't say he'll fight anyone at 160-168 like lil g

            If he can go to 160 for Floyd, he can easily go to 164 for Golovkin.

              Why do 2 guys in the same division need a catch Weight?

                Sure, nothing wrong with draining a guy as long as he's bigger right?

                Thought you were smarter than that.

                  It was bad because Ward couldn’t even make 168 so it was clearly a duck. What o don’t get is how posters took Ward serious when he said he couldn’t make the weight

                    Golovkin offered to fight Canelo at 154 also.

                      When did Ward say okay? 3 years later when the fight no longer mattered? You people love to chant this silly mantra of yours that doesn't even make sense. Kids say the darnedest things, as they say.
