    You know how the game works. The fight will happen where it makes the most money. And Atlantic city wasn't Ward's comfort zone.

    Maybe England, never Denmark. I think he MIGHT come to England when he realises there's no other options for any good fights and if Eddie Hearn gets his chequebook out.

    Ward is already getting tetchy about people not being arsed about him and telling him to fight outside USA, he might just be tempted to do it. That's what I reckon anyway.

    It was much more his comfort zone than Froch's. Ward is a media-darling all over the USA. No matter where he fights over there, the boxing writers are all sniffing his scrotum and telling people how amazing he is. His comfort zone isn't just Oakland, it's all of America now really.

    When Kessler said he would fight Froch in England and that they had a gentleman's agreement then as a fan it is something I believe is a real possibility.

    When Ward says so there is definitely more doubt, but it is positive that he is considering it seemingly.

    I'd put money on Ward being more difficult than Kessler to agree terms with, all of my money.

    Most yanks will start wheeling out the RJJ loss in Korea last century as their excuse as why Ward shouldn't leave home .

    no way ward travels over here,not a chance,he can talk as much **** as he wants,but he aint traveling.
    some boxers don't travel well and i think froch has a good chance of beating him in england.
    im going to watch the fight again,i hate the word schooling,what i saw 1st time around was froch being outboxed,not a complete and utter twating like say gatti/mayweather,but as the fight went on he came back into it,he lost no doubt,but schooling it was not,****ing hate the word.
    froch would of been a very good 15 round fighter.

    ward,get your arse over to england,stop being a ****ing *****

    Fair enough...still I'm disappointed though that people don't find his fights exciting...

    I guess it remains to be seen if Ward will go outside USA... I have my doubts..

    Ward has no rivals cos he dominated everyone. The Pavlik fights a decent defence considering the landscape but its not riveting. Everyone would expect a wide decision.

    Carl Froch II rematch makes financial sense as well as the fact he is coming off of a big win and theres another belt.

    Ward should let Kessler vs Froch rematch and fight the winner after he is done with Pavlik. Once he is done with Pavlik he can win the IBF while also beating Kessler or Froch off of a better winning streak.

    After Pavlik and Froch/Kessler, Ward will need to look to 175 but I think he'll more likely try to entice Martinez into a fight should Martinezs streak continue.
