    When Ward leaves the weight he will take over supermiddle.
    GGG is praying that ward leaves the weight.

    Ward needs these money fights so the best move for ward would be to stay around at 168 and destroy ggg and then leap up to 175 and beat stevenson and fight and beat a very tough kovalev.
    Ironically GGG best bet is to do the same and stay at middleweight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    If GGG beats andre ward I will sing his praises all day.

    He is a strong powerful fighter but if he wants to be a superstar he needs to beat the best at middle and thats andre ward.

    I'm a big fan of GGG, I think he's great. But I don't think history will be very kind to him. People will say he was the best of a bad bunch of MW's and he will get avoided by Canelo and Cotto. He won't beat Ward at SMW, because he's not big enough strong enough or good enough. That's no disgrace, Ward could be the best SMW There's ever been , although he's been nowhere near active enough to prove that.
    So if he does go up to SMW after Ward has gone to LHW and beat them all, again people will say, "he wouldn't have beat Ward" or "again the best of a bad bunch" this is why he was desperate to fight Froch, because people would've given him credit for that , although I believe Froch was overrated (mainly by himself!)
    And let's not forget , he's what 32? 33? Time is running out, it could all change overnight. Not everyone can compete at the top level way into their Thirties like Floyd can.

    I'm a fan of Golovkin myself, and it's too bad it appears he can't satisfy fans by staying in his own division and cleaning it out. Apparently there's just not that much to clean out. Meanwhile, the big names are either below him or above him in weight. So he's almost forced to either drop down, or move up. Personally, I've never liked the idea of matching him up with Floyd, as I think it's pointless. Too much of a size difference. IMO they should never meet. Can't blame GGG for mentioning Floyd, however. It's not like he's got options coming out the wazoo.
