People here don't seem to understand how much hardwork goes into making weight. You can't gain and lose muscle in a whim. This is why I laugh when people say "x should go up in weight, y should move down". The ignorance in this forum about body physique is astounding but considering some posters troll her 24 hours a day, I wouldn't be surprised if they never hit the gym.

Ward was always just using GGG's name to stay relevant. Why else did he have his lawyer sent a statement to HBO that he would fight GGG before his promotional situation was even sorted out, but then once he was clear to fight again, suddenly demanded three tune-ups once it could actually happen?

The timing for the GGG fight, and the weights, was never right. But Ward says he'll fight Kovalev in November so I've got no complaints. Props to Ward for that anyway. But yeah Fl0mos were dumb to believe GGG was at fault for the Ward fight not happening.

He can't make the weight NOW. He was deliberate in his approach to 175. He put on muscle slowly and weighed more each of his last three fights. He said his move to 175 would be permanent last year. Try not to take this statement out of context to revise history.

18 month layoff, surgery,promotional disputes, moves up in weight fights 3 tune ups and then takes a fight with the boogey man. **** ,i have to give Ward props, i wish more fighters took a page from his book. Ward has a new "fan boy". i also like GGG but if u think Ward ducked him, u should be really upset at ur mom for dropping you on ur head multiple times and for raising an utter moron.
