I don't think GGG needs to move up at this stage. He offered Ward a 164 fair catchweight considering Ward was willing to make 160 for Floyd. Ward should be concentrating on the Groves/ Jack winner, DeGale, Andre Dirrell or the Hopkins/ Abraham winner if that fight happens.
He offered Ward to cut 8lbs and a paycut. That offer was a f'n joke and people need to call it like it is. Ward can fight Joe Blow at whatever weight he wants or he can cut 8lbs for less money. GTFOOH with that nonsense. I could be back on board with GGG if they would just be honest and say "GGG isn't good at fighting inside so they don't want to fight Ward". It's that easy. F the 10k excuses and fake offers.
So why should Golovkin have to go to 168? He doesn't need Ward. Hell make more fighting Canelo/ Cotto, the Lee/ Saunders winner and Jacobs/ Quillin. There are four fights ahead of GGG that'll keep him busy for another year, maybe two.

Why is Ward after Golovkin? Andre Dirrel is at 168. Groves, DeGale. If he can fight Joe Blow then why isn't he targeting these guys? Golovkin is fighting in his first unification, Ward should be fighting the top contenders in his division.

I think Ward beats GGG at this stage, but Golovkin has work to do at 160 first before I want to see him move up, Ward should be continuing to fight the best in his division in the mean time, unless you prefer the Joe Blows.
