The hypocrisy that involves the GGG-Ward-Kovalev triangle!

Im trying to like GGG, but fans like the OP make it hard.
GGG can KO every bum thrown his way until he retires. That may satisfy the casuals and get him good ratings on HBO. It wont do anything for me.
GGG's best win wouldnt even make it on Ward's top ten. Thats where they stand right now. One guy is accomplished and one isnt.
So please, lets stop looking for excuses as to why GGG shouldnt do everything in his power to fight the top fighters out there.
Nothing stops him from going to 175 for Kovalev either.

There's no reason why Andre Ward can't fight both guys eventually. There's no issue here.
The 172 catchweighht doesn't mean as much as Golovkin fans pray it does. It's a non-title fight so why bother making the 168 limit?
He'll be back at 168 and at some point the Golovkin fight will have to happen. The Kovalev fight can still happen down the road.
There's no hypocrisy, there's no double standard.
Just scared Golovkin fans who are desperate for Ward to permanently move up in weight so the fight against their boy never happens.

GGG fans are shook as Ward's comeback looms closer. Let me spell it out for you:
Once Ward goes up to LHW, he isn't pulling a RJJ and coming back down in weight. When he moves up it's going to be for good. So why ruin a fight with GGG? GGG first, then Kovalev. You say it's hypocritical that we ask GGG to move up and not Ward but you fail to realize that it's just coincidental that Ward happens to be in between them. If it was reversed and GGG was a SMW and Ward was a MW we would be telling Ward to move up!

Everyone is saying GGG is ducking Ward but fail to mention Ward isn't rushing to get in the ring with Kovalev either. We have to put things in perspective and we have to be fair. I can give GGG more of a pass because he comes in at 159 showing he can easily make 160 with no issues. Ward knows that his clinching tactics won't work against Kovalev. Ward sees Kovalev as a threat and it's fairly obvious. Those criticizing GGG should look at what Ward is doing and be more objective. Kovalev vs Ward needs to be made.
Kovalev's promoter said just a couple days ago theyve discussed the fight for sometime next year
do some research first and you wont look like such an ass

I'm not even a fan of GGG so before I get labeled as one both guys want easy paydays. That's fairly obvious. They both wanted Chavez at 168 for an easy payday. Let's be honest, it would have been easy work for both men. Neither dude has a big ass fan base so they gotta do what they gotta do get that check.
If we are keeping things fair, no one can label anyone a ducker if Ward is back fighting at 168. Let's see where he fights at after his next fight but if he's still at the 172 mark, it's clear he should move up. The only reason why GGG isn't as bad as Ward is because GGG isn't fighting at 163 or 164 or something along those lines but if he did he would look just as bad as Ward.
