no one at 168 was beating ward and im sure you have no one you favor over him there from when he won his first title until he moved up
Bute was the undefeated IBF SMW champion. He had nine successful defences and many experts rated him, not Ward, the best SMW in the world.
Ward was offered a career highest purse to unify with Bute and he turned the fight down.
Are you seriously trying to claim Froch's victory over Bute as a W for Andre?

Golovkin probably is the best MW on the planet, I would say so, but he hasn't cleaned out his division either, which is why his fans want him to stay at 160 and finish the job, something Ward wasn't up to doing at 168.
Now fuck off and stop trying to play silly word games with me.
You wouldn't know a good fighter if he punched you in the face.

And how can GGG get the best of both worlds when both fighters are scared to even get in the ring with him?
If G would have accepted Ward's offer, when would have been fight night?
Fact: Approximatley one month after the Lemiuex beatdown, Ward moves up to light heavy!

I also remember, when GGG tried to make a fight with Froch, Ward saying "You don't move up a division and not fight the top dog"
Then Ward moved up to LHW and fought Paul Smith!
did you get tired of always being the dumb kid at school ?
Everyone knows that Ward was working his way back down to 168 after a long layoff, which is why he fought the SMW Smith..... that fact was well-documented at the time, newb.
Why do you always gotta be the little weasel ? LMAO

It's one thing to call someone out when you have no chance of winning and want to make your biggest payday but it's another thing to call someone out when you know damn well the fight can't get made!
Please no more calling outs unless it's realistic!

Canelo is waiting at 155, and Golovkin said that he can do it ?
But wait, let me guess..... that is somehow unrealistic, right ?

That is a very silly thing to say, but instead of pouring scorn and mockery on it, I'll just ask a reasonable question instead.
Isn't much more likely that, after working his way down to 172, Ward and Hunter decided that it wouldn't be a good idea to go down any further, so they decided to campaign at 175 from then on?
Remember the explanation that Ward himself gave for the 172 catchweight ... "I need to see how my body reacts to the weight loss before I decide whether to go all the way back down to 168 again"
Then after the Smith fight, he moves up to 175.
If Andre could still make 168, he would have kept hold of his WBA SMW title and stayed in that division to defend it and go after unification fights with the other belt holders.
Kovalev is a great champion, but he is not a big name, and he doesn't have much of a fan base. High risk, low reward, in other words. He is most definitely not the kind of man you move up to fight if you can still make weight in your own division.
