Ward is in a really really tough position, even though he is #2 p4p

The super 6 flopped. It was supposed to be a mega tournament, but people dropped out etc etc and people didn't really tune in. He should've emerged from there setup as a PPV star.

 

Unfortunately, I think he'll fight a rematch with Bika next.

Oosthuizen is still a notable opponent. He could take that fight international if he wanted to (perhaps South Africa would pony up money for Oos to fight at home?).

Rematch with the winner of Froch/Kessler II will be a worthy great fight, and a great way to leave the division behind completely beyond conquered.

The move up to 175 has got to be coming soon.

 

If Bernard Hopkins and Andre Ward are friends they should fight they should because they both can make a lot of money, when Sugar Ray Robinson and Hnery Armstrong fought (Robinsons hero) said "if you were my friend and care and admire me you'll fight me because you know I need money." That's how it should be with fighters, when a man says he doesn't wanna fight you that's disrespecting you because he knows he needs you to make a lving.

In Wards and Hopkins case it's for legacy rather than money I guess more so Hopkins

 

He's beaten the best of 168 AND 175.

 

he needs to move up, he already cleaned out the division, unless he's scared to go up to 175 he should move up
