    Would the winner be willing to fight Ward?

    I don't really see much Froch can do differently to change the outcome, Ward to me is simply the better fighter.

    Groves would make for an interesting fight, was impressed in the Froch fight.

    GGG vs Ward is another big fight, not sure if it will happen as GGG seems to only want to fight at 168 lbs for the big money against Chavez.

    The question is does he want to fight in the UK...or maybe in Vegas.

    Ward's gotta leave his hometown.

    Ward never leaves Cali. Hell, he barely steps out of Oakland. The kid has become a rhetorical joke.

    He should have the class to rematch Kessler in Denmark, but, judging from his lawuit and comments recently, 'class' and 'Andre Ward' DO NOT belong in the same book.

    It's blatantly obvious that he rules 168, and everyone is ducking him....

    No one can beat him.....

    He already kicked Kessler/Froch's ass.

    Yawn. He did rule 168, but hes been kind of an absentee lord of late. To rule you need to fight occasionally.

    So is 168 made up solely of Froch/Groves and JR? JR wouldnt even fight GGG for 12m in guarantees , and Froch/Groves are about to fight in front of more people than Ward has drawn to his last 6 or 7 fights combined.

    Noone is interested in challenging Ward for a payday and a shot at his title? Not a single contender willing to step up? Somehow.... I find that very hard to believe.

    he keeps talking about other people to come foward and make a fight....why dont he just call people out?his also a boring fighter that relies on punch stats and constent bicycle riding in the ring.

    Why does Ward have to go over to Britain to prove himself when he is already proven?

    People are claiming that Ward NEEDS to fight in Britain. :lol::patsch

    Why would he possibly go there with British judges/referees where he would be robbed or stopped after getting punched once. :nut

    he's had ALL of his own refs, judges etc. thus far. Time he steps up and leaves his comfort zone:deal

    All good fighters do it:yep

    Why does Ward need to fight anybody? And why does anyone need to fight Ward?

    So again, theres noone else at 168 at all? Not a single contender willing to step in with Ward? Not a one? :think:think

    Hmmm.... seems fishy.

    Also, its quite possible to import refs and judges. Noone is saying Ward needs to fight with a British ref. Nor is Ward one to talk about home cookin from a referee.

    What we can deduce from this is that nobody wants to fight Ward in America.

    He's not a BIG draw sure but he's impossible to beat. Edwin Rodriguez had a 1 million dollar purse vs Ward. Outside of Edwin, everyone is avoiding Ward.

    That's just how it is....

    He left it to fight Froch in Atlantic city.

    Nobody wants to fight in Britain when you can fight in America....

    The Brits/EE fighters just don't want to fight Ward.... it's because they have no chance of beating him...

    America is the mecha of boxing. :deal

    The funny thing is he could've had a carreer high payday had he took the Bute fight.
