    Who do you think Ward will face?

    Most likely a modest opponent to ease back into things in September. Someone like Rubio? December, who knows. Another schooling of Froch perhaps.

    And something 'Big' next year, possibly means Chavez Jr.

    2 bums and Chavez next year. it's a shame because Ward is a good guy and a role model. but he isn't fan-friendly to watch

    An interview he did with a boxing website that I can't mention.

    He's not casual-fan friendly, no. If you appreciate technical boxing skills you should enjoy watching him.

    ?

    Froch won 2 rounds last time against one-handed Ward. You expect him to do better next time?

    Because hes good at building hype.

    You wont see Ward throwing money at a camera,or playing with bundles of money pretending they're phones etc etc

    I agree... people keep saying he's boring... or Mayweather's fight was boring.... if you enjoy good technical fighting you will enjoy watching Ward.... I certainly do.... obviosuly I also enjoy big power punchers going at it as well...

    Well he is not Floyd Mayweather technical skills. He is more lile B-hop, a lot of holding and dirty tactics I do not enjoy watching that

    I reckon Chavez might happen in December.

    The Froch rematch doesn't interest me. He's already schooled him. Kessler would probably be better because there are too many people that still doubt the first win. So yeah, if Kessler can pull the upset off tomorrow, then that would set up a better fight.

    Its not the same at all. Floyd does not use his head. He is much more beautiful to watch. Andre is like B-hop

    Floyd also looks way better. More "fluid". Also he dont clinches like Ward does. That Froch fight was awful. Especially in the last rounds! Ward clinched EVERYTIME when Froch came close.

    Maybe he could fight Kessler again.

    FTR, I personally feel that if the fight hadn't been stopped, Ward would have won by UD anyway.

    Exactly and he headbutted Kessler 20 times. I've never seen a Floyd fight where he headbutted a fighter intentionally
