Ha well, yeah. Everyone's gonna be brave for the right price but no-one moves up divisions unless either they outgrow 'em or they can get a better payday. Off the top of my head I can't think of any examples of a guy who moved up when he could still comfortably make weight and better money in the lower division, though I'm sure there'll be some savant able to find an example somewhere.
EXPLOSIVE NEWS! Abel Sanchez: “GGG was terrified of Andre Ward.”

"Too much for me, not today" he clearly means "too big".
There was no point in moving up to fight Ward for 2 millions when he was mandatory for Canelo/Cotto winner on his natural division.
He knew he would get 10-15 millions fighting either Cotto or Canelo and could even get rematches which he did.
If he was paid 50 millions he would have done it. Ward fought Kovalev because he was paid 3x his biggest previous purse for these fights.Comment

Folk still going on about that video?
My reading is different... there's the timestamp at 8:14 where he says 'no, no Andre ward - too much for me right now' but then he uses very similar phraseology 'I can't, I can't, too much' about a different question (at 9:10) - it's indistinct but it sounds something like 'what sort of fight (with Geale) do you see it being?' and it's clear his meaning is he doesn't have an answer - in effect 'it's too much to think about right now'. The repeated use of the phrase suggests to me his original meaning was not that Ward is too dangerous a fight for him, but simply that this isn't something he wants to think about at that time.
When he's asked about Ward (and Chavez Jr) again at 11:15 he gives a much clearer answer that should have dispelled all this BS a long time ago 'my focus right now is my fight (with Geale)... I hope so in the future, yes'
It's always gonna be down to individual interpretation of course, but I had a non native English speaker as a father so I think I got fairly good at interpreting this stuff
ahahah
is that the new story ?
thats some pretty cool mental gymnastics there
you could tell by the look on his face, his body-language, and his words..... exactly what Golovkin meant.....
he clearly wanted nothing to do with Andre Ward in that video..... he clearly wanted nothing to do with Ward because of the roadblocks he set up..... and he clearly wanted nothing to do with Ward because of his actions, failing to lift his little finger to make that fight
