Here's a thought:
Why can't GG take on Ward??
He's 32 y/o with Ouma being the ONLY ex champion he's ever faced.
Seems like the bar is set lower for the foreign guys for some strange reason.
By the time he steps up the sport will have passed him by.
Because hes too small. If a black man can use this excuse surely a fragile white man can too?
The fragile BM has been moving up since he was 22...the fragile WM is 32 and hasn't moved once.
Time for the fragile WM to "challenge himself" and take some risks.
Floyd has been outweighed by damn near 20lbs....lets see GG's overrated ass spot somebody(a CHAMPION at that) 20lbs.
Time for you white guys to raise the bar on your old heroes.
What Floyd has been moving up to fight is the equivalent of GGG moving up to fight Stieglitz or Abraham, which no one wants to see. Floyd has never moved up to fight a top P4Pr at a higher weight.
Floyd moved up and fought Oscar in his first fight at 154..
Oscar is better than anybody on GG's meager resume.
Mayweather has won TITLES from 130 clean up to 154.
Floyd has taken more risks than Golem's entire Country.
I agree it is unfair for Floyd to take on a middleweight especially when he started out at featherweight. However he is so good that he would beat every welterweight, beaten the best light middle already so there is very little challenge for him to improve his legacy. The only real challenge there is for him is to become a middleweight champion.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
