Jesus. First of all, Ward isn't the best boxer of the last 30 years. He's damn good, but Mayweather, Pacquiao, Hopkins, and Jones, at the very least, are better fighters (there are other guys who I'd rate ahead of him, but those are the uncontroversial choices). Second of all, when did Ward duck Golovkin? Ward was actually very open to the fight (because it was easy money for him due to the size difference and style clash), but I'd never accuse Golovkin of ducking because he never had any obligation to fight a guy bigger than him. To claim Ward ducked Golovkin boggles the mind; it was an ideal fight for Ward.
