ggg wont fight him, not the other way around. all ward has said is he wont move down to make it happen, which is reasonable. ward would be a fool to make the same mistake dawson made against him. as for golovkin moving up, the same thing applies to him as it does ward. he will move up when he is ready.
froch is the one who wont fight ward too, not the other way around. they say ward doesnt sell enough tickets yet they include bika in the conversation. they talk about degale, kessler, even paul and callum smith but not ward. if his name is brought up by someone else they are quick to dismiss it and change the subject. they want chavez jr, someone whos status exceeds his ability. not the opposite in ward.
there really arent many options for ward, both froch and kessler refuse to fight him. who else is there at 168lbs? surely chavez jr if he moves up would rather take on froch considering thats a much easier fight.
ward needs to forget about getting a PPV fight and just stay busy. anthony dirrell, sakio bika or james degale would all be decent defenses. just because you deserve to be on PPV doesnt mean you will, ward is being too much of a baby about it. its an unfair situation but he has to make the best of it.

Bloody hell! what idiots!

Originally posted by Hougigo View PostHe's also talking like GGG is a PPV..... nope. that's why Golovkin is scratching and clawing to get B-side on somebody else's PPV.... he didn't.
You know what he's doing instead of sitting around doing nothing hoping for a PPV? He's taking fights and trying to build himself into that role.
How can anybody think that right now Ward/GGG is a PPV? No way Ward thinks that.

I can't wait to hear him talk trash about the fight when he's been trying to get the Chavez fight for himself all year.
Ward is heads and shoulders above his competition, but he is ridiculously delusional about his financial worth. HBO overpaying him for the Rodriguez fight probably has a lot to do with that.

Originally posted by junior gong View PostIts absolutely mystifying what he's doing to his career. I dont think he realises that he is now going to have to rebuild himself into a PPV attraction and he can only do that by actually fighting, not talking about fighting or whining and coming up with excuses. He's a tremendous fighter, but clearly not very bright.
