@GREENandYELLOW .....no more excuses from #GGGoodBoys and Abel Sanchez:ufdup:



#SOGGang is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack:ohlawd:



:lawd:
Like we had talked about previously, obviously Ward needs a comeback fight before he could be expected to take on GGG. Then the hype should start towards that fight.

With the way things have turned recently I think Ward may be less on GGG's radar or needed as 6 months ago. GGG has Murray, then he could schedule a summer date with Lemiuex or try to get another belt from Lee. Both nowhere near Ward's level, but both fights I don't think can be criticized if taken. Also I think GGG wants to hold out just a bit to try and get the lineal championship, by securing Canelo or Cotto...which I don't think anyone can criticize either.
I think Chavez has disappeared as an opponent.
GGG has Lemiuex, Lee, Cotto/Canelo as viable opponents that could delay the process. I think Ward is in a tougher situation because he has virtually cleaned out 168 and many guys don't want to fight him (Chavez, Froch). If Ward scheduled a Dirrell fight (either one) that would be an excellent matchup.

Either way, no matter how the opponents play out...looks like GGG and Ward need to start building momentum towards a fight. Somewhere in the next year and a half I think it needs to happen. :manny::obama:

This ain't nothing like that Roc Nation has a deal with fox sports, they bought out Gary Shaw and actually have offices :mjlol:

:ehh:

I think it's more about getting fights with other promotion companies though, i remember watching a 50 interview saying that big companies don't want any parts of new companies but he just might be making excuses but ii hope Roc Nation can pull it off

Excuses on deck already as to why GGG should get the duckin :whew:

WHAT HAPPENED TO "ANYONE FROM 154-168 CAN GET IT"??

WHAT HAPPENED TO "WARD IS GOOD BOY"??

HOW MUCH DID THE MOBB SELL CURTIS!!
Nah, we aren't selling excuses. Just trying to be objective, even despite my #GGGoodBoys affiliation. I will agree that if GGG keeps on winning he has to face SOG sometime. But since he is naturally at 160 and now it looks like more than ever he may have some good windows for opponents at 160, I can't blame him for taking those. SOG owns 168. GGG is probably the best fighter at 160, but he hasn't staked 100% dominance there yet, he needs more bodies. :manny:

Ward-GGG isn't a box office home run, but it can be built up. Give these guys a fight or two and talk around each other. GGG has been really active and Ward should become more so...that is why I said give them up to a year and a half.
