    If he feels like it. Otherwise I don't really care. He beat them already. It would just be good to see some of the butthurt critics end up with nothing besides accusations of him being "boring". Which would also fade if he stopped them in brutal fashion, which I imagine he would.

    He'd beat the crap out of Kessler again. Kessler isn't scrappy enough like a Froch is, and he would still get beat again too.

    I'm surprised at your opinion Bogo, surely consideration should be given if one of them impress in victory

    Apart from the Pascal/Bute winner I dont see a great deal of options

    I think he is simply better too, but travelling to their backyard adds intrigue IMO as well as probably the best financial option

    :yep:deal "intrigue" is what Ward needs to have more success. Lets say he goes in UK and beats Froch again but unfortunately he gets robbed , people and boxing fans will give him lots of admiration,credit and respect , not to mention that his poor fanbase would increase significantly :yep

    If Ward does not meet at least one or two top top guys abroad then I will definitely hold it against him when all is said and done.

    Why would Ward want to fight in front of 25,000 people in the UK or Denmark when he can draw 5,000 people in Oakland?

    I'm not sure why anyone would say no, his options at 168 are poor so going away to fight the next best guy in the division in a rematch is surely the best move financially and for his legacy would it not?

    Who realistically can he fight at 168 that will making him more money and improve his legacy more than a fight with the winner of Kessler or Froch in their hometown?

    His other option is moving up but lightweight is even worse for talent at the moment.

    Barcelona should only play matches at Camp Nou. Why should they travel when they are the best?

    Want to compare Ward, who has 26 professional fights with someone who was unrecognized and unknown with zero PPVs even after 40 professional fights? :lol:
