Robert asked in SportsBoxing · 4 years ago

Why was "GGG", Canelo, Cotto & Chavez Jr. absolutely too afraid to fight Andre "SOG" Ward when he was a super middleweight?

I've listened to all of these fight especially GGG "talk" about fighting the BEST. However, when Andre Expressed an interest in fighting these guys, they ALL had excuses for not fighting him.

He would bring a hefty payday for each of these pretenders so money wasn't the issue.

It just seems that these pretenders KNEW that Ward totally outclassed them in virtually every category:

1.) Hand speed

2.) Foot speed

3.) Punching power

4.) Defense

5.) Reach

6.) Weight

Just like SOG totally outclassed the so called elite of the "Super 6", he would have beaten these pretenders the same way.

Your opinions?

    Um Ward never called out any of those guys except 3G. And besides he was inactive getting his *** handed to him in court by goosen over and over. Learn what weight classes are because you sound like a dumbass.

    GGG is quite a bit younger than Ward, Ward had already moved up to Super Middle when GGG was just becoming a top 10 Middleweight, Canelo the same and Canelo has only fought over 155 lbs. once against Chavez Jr. Cotto has never fought above 155 and most of his career at 147. In all these cases all are smaller men and not in his weight class at the time. Chavez jr. on the other hand has been at either Super Middle or Light Heavy during the same periods and a fight could be/or have been made. Ward is one of the best Super Middles of all time, LHW too. He has it all as you mentioned and is a lock for the IBHOF. Ward would take Chavez Jr. out in under 3 rounds. The others are just too small to have fought Ward at SMW.
