    He's Running out of fights because nobody will fight him. Cotto, Canelo, Quillin and Chavez never mention him. They will avoid him like the plague until he forces the fight by destroying everyone else around them. He kills those guys and not one of them sees the tenth round of they fight him. Would LOVE to see Hop beat Kov n Stevenson n then meet GGG at 168. I would bet on Hop in that one....

    Maybe once N'Dam dusts off Taylor he can give it a go and bring his new trinket to the table? Didn 't Roach and Cotto say they wanted him already? If Quillin and Jacobs doesn't get made, maybe Danny will be allowed to play outta the sandbox and fight Golovkin..for a couple rounds

    Chavez was ready to fight him...that is until Arum wanted to force him into a bs contract. It would make sense for Cotto to avoid him...since Cotto isn't a legit 160 pounder (despite beating a shot Sergio). Canelo is eyeing the big fight with Cotto...which will make a TON more money than if he fought GGG.

    Which means GGG will have to fight for another trinket or top contender. Either way he is favourite and unlikely to make huge money. Still waiting on the side lines for the superstar status because he is too dangerous for Cotto, Canelo and Junior.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Whether one likes it or not...boxing is a business. And whatever you may think of GGG's ability or worthiness...he is not a ticket seller on par with some of these names. I personally think he is avoiding Ward...and rightfully so...since Ward would school him. So let's not pretend GGG is willing to fight ANYONE like he makes out.

    In my opinion, GGG is willing to fight anyone at 160 or below. He'd jump at a chance to fight anyone in his division. He's not Quillin who avoided a fight with Korobov. Above 160, I think GGG is being selective. He'll take high profile fights that are worth the risk in having a size disadvantage, like Froch or Junior. A fight with Ward isn't worth the risk at this point to GGG; that much is definitely true.

    With that said, GGG can't avoid Ward if Ward is in the division above him. Mayweather can't avoid GGG. Ward can't avoid Hopkins. They aren't ducking the bigger fighters for not facing them.

    Has Ward offered to come down to 160 to fight GGG? As far as I know, he hasn't. If he has offered to come down in weight and GGG won't fight him, well, then, I agree, it's a duck job.

    With ward inactivity and GGG fighting 3-4 times a year it's clear who would have to momentum going into the fight. It's so annoying seeing ward not fight when he's in his prime, he's fought 4 times since may 2011 and not been in the ring once this year. GGG has had 11 fights since then. It's not good for ward not fighting and if he fought a live wire like GGG who has boxing skills and power, it would make things interesting.

    Are you agreeing with me? Seems like you are initially disagreeing but then make statements and points that support my point...
