    Let's forget about LHW and just stick with Ward's own weight class. There are good fights to be made at SMW.

    Ward ducked Lucian Bute, and then used Bute's loss to Froch as an excuse to continue ducking him.

    There is also Andre Dirrell, another man that Ward ducked in the Super Six and continues ducking. Froch did Ward a favor by beating Dirrell.

    And what about George Groves? That's another guy who has the style to beat Ward, but Froch beat him so Ward has an excuse not to fight him. (Carl Froch is basically Andre Ward's bodyguard.)

    Notice all these guys are slick, defensive masters. Ward wants no part of that style. He has never fought anyone like that, in fact. He lets Froch take care of those guys. Ward only fights straight-punching, forward-moving sluggers.

    And then there's James DeGale, another man who has the skills to possibly give Ward problems, but we can't expect Ward to give an up-and-comer a shot at glory like Kessler did for Ward.

    So why are people worried that this guy isn't fighting anymore? We should be happy.:hi::happy

    I thought he avoided quick, Canadian southpaws with decent power.
