Ward was the champ of what exactly? He fought Paul Smith on June 20th @ 171¾lbs. He wasn't even a SMW champ at that time. GGG made his offer 2 weeks after that fight, yet it took Andre a month to respond after GGG moved on & was finalizing the Lemieux fight. There was no belt on the line so yes, a catch-weight was in order.
Canelo held the MW belt & GGG was his mandatory. You can't demand a CW for either. Golovkin got 30% split & then 45% split for the fights vs Canelo & also made them at 160. Guess it worked out for him?
