Why did GGG not fight Ward the lineal champ at 168 but choose Chavez?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

The truth is Stevenson would get the same for fonfora on HBO as he would showtime. The question is which fight would he make more form KKK or Bhop?

No the question is why the *** is he fighting Forfarna?!

Kovalev+Hopkins > Forfarna+Hopkins.

Well I have heard that Andre Ward is too big from Gennady followers as well, but Chavez seems to be the right size, so maybe size is the reason?

The difference is because stevenson is with al haymon his actions are immediately labeled ducking but GGG, who is on HBO he is given a pass by the vast majority here on NSB.

I wonder if the reaction would be different if stevenson was white or GGG was with AL haymon.

Because HBO wnated to stretch out the kkk/stevenson fight and fill empty dates with them on seperate cards.

Respectfully, I don't co sign HBO/Kellerman saying KKK is the best 175lber in the world. I think BHop desreves to be ranked ahead of him. That said, I would prefer steveson KKK to stevenson Bhop, myself.

I don't see the problem. GGG is having a moneyspinning non-title fight while waiting for Martinez. GGG will get back down to 160 again after this.

Ward is suing his promoter. Stop trolling.

Its his first fight at SMW, what do you want him to do go in and fight the number 1 guy?

You can't just throw someone in there with the best in the weight, you forget what happened to Broner?

Who's to say he will even do well at 168?

I don't think he is hyped at all, you tend to have a specific hate towards the Eastern Europeans and its not healthy buddy, boxing is a sport if anything you should be encouraging the mixture of other races getting involved and being given attention.

LOL@ blaming HBO. HBO wanted Stevenson/Kovalev. That's why they were on the same card already. There was nothing to stop the fight happening.

Oh except Stevenson

Your last couple of posts have shown you're not a objective person in this matter anyway so I think we'll end the debate.

Nope...

The difference is:

1) HBO planned fight between Adonis and Kovalev (and negotiations started this winter).
2) Nobody proposed a fight between Ward and Golovkin (who heard about team Ward initiating any talks with this respect? There were only media statements, nothing more).

I was talking to larry as I know he is p4p floyd's #1 fan.

He was saying that GGG should move straight into SMW and fight the best so I just put the same argument onto Mayweather.

I dont expect Mayweather to do it but Larry is saying that GGG should do what Mayweather would never be willing to do.

Except Mayweather did it twice at 154... Cotto was the best fighter at 154 when he fought him. Oscar was the best fighter at 154 when Mayweather fought him if I recall.
