This is nothing like that situation,because Dawson said he would go to down to 168 when he called Ward out , nice try though. :francis:

That actually makes it EXACTLY like this situation, because Ward is only mentioning GGG because GGG called out anyone from 154 to 168. Ward is just telling GGG to man up and keep his word, like Chad Dawson did.


I forgot Cotto was on RN :banderas:
I just got some :banderas: worthy news on SOG.

I'm not sure there's really anything to discuss if GGG was willing to go to 168 for Julio and Froch, but can't do so for Ward. Is there really anything to talk about after that? Words like hypocrisy and dissemble come to mind.

fighting ward is high risk low reward, GGG would have made alot of money fighting Froch or Chavez

So what happens when HBO offers GGG the same $ for the Ward fight that he would've gotten for JCC or Frochy? HBO wants the fight.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I was responding to what he was saying about SOG going down to 160 which he never said he'd do unlike Dawson who said he would go down to 168.:dwillhuh:

I know what you were saying. And I agree, except that the analogy still works here.

I'm saying it IS like Ward/Dawson, but not for the reasons @yoyoyo1 said it is. GGG is Dawson in this situation, not Ward. He said he'd go up, so he has to go up. No meeting in the middle.

Andre Ward always has to have every single advantage. Fighting in California, or fighting in his home country, at his best weight, on his terms, when the guy isn't even a B side, he's a C side.

It's basically the definition of cowardice to me :francis:

This Cotto/Canelo stuff kept changing on me after I posted and it bothers me. I said Brooklyn, then offers kept going up and it became Vegas. I was told September, but Floyd blocked MGM, then I said October, but dates are blocked out, so now it's November. That's almost set in stone.

Moving forward, I want to be as close to 100% on things as possible beforehand. So I'm trying to verify. As soon as I do that, I got you in the main thread.

generic eurocac that everyone wants to see fight. unlike the talented american who could retire tomorrow and noone would care


so...he earned it, who resume compares to wards?

what is the point of boxing? being the best, or entertaining the crowd? the crowd wants entertainment, thatswhy boxing is popular. no one wants to watch ward.so what exactly did he earn if the paying public doesn't care?
