A guy that has been at 160 for 9 years isn't likely to quickly go through 168 to meet Ward at 175. The best thing for the sport and for Wards legacy and GGGs legacy and for Kovalev is for Ward/GGG to happen now then Ward goes to 175 for a tune up then Kovalev.
Yea but Golovkin is waiting on Canelo/Cotto. He isn't really looking to move up until that is done. Ward has already put his career on hold for 2 years. He should offer the money to Golovkin to come fight him and if he doesn't walk away and take the challenge elsewhere. No point waiting around for 'what ifs' and 'maybes'
