Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade

[erics44]

I haven't really followed GGG since he ducked out of a fight with Ward to fight that other fella

Ok, let's get this clear when we talk about avoiding/ducking fighters.
1. there were never any official discussions.
2. When Ward said this, he hadn't fought for 3 years. would he have needed a tune up before GGG? Bearing in mind that his 1st fight ended up being Paul Smith , Ward weighed 172Lb , Smith 176Lb, I think he would've wanted a tune up prior to GGG.
3. if Ward has this tune up, is GGG just expected to wait for him? bear in mind GGG fights 3 to 4 times a year.
4. GGG's handlers allegedly wanted a "split down the middle " catchweight of 164Lb. Ward didn't want to know about that . (nothing wrong in that btw, I'm not a fan of CW's and this fight was never realistic imo.)
5. GGG fights at 160Lb , Ward used to fight at 168Lb and that's where he wanted the fight. The only problem is that Ward hasn't fought at 168Lb for 3 years. Ward now fights at 175Lb.
the fact is that nobody ducked anyone here, it was never a realistic fight for many reasons , they are very different sizes and one fights regularly while the other doesn't , so timings would never be right. Plus of course the Money/ A side/B side bollocks.

that was a joke by the way

I was just repeating something someone else said I found funny
