    You should have noticed that I stated that I would admire Ward were he not to simply pursue money?

    By that I mean I would have respect for him if he focused primarily on fighting the best out there rather than simply making the most money. From what I hear from Ward however, he does seem interested in making the most money.

    Ward-Froch II is the only seriously relevant fight left for Ward at 168, not just financially but in terms of his legacy. If he wishes to stay in that division that's the fight he should take, and given the possibility of a stadium fight, why not?

    If not, Ward will need to move up to 175 to receive fresh challenges.

    :huh when did he say he refused to fight outside on Nottingham??

    his last fight was at the O2 in London. :patsch

    you have got to do much better than that if you want to trash a Brit fighter.

    how are the Irish doing in the world of boxing any way? you'll have one less when Quigg wipes out Frampton. oh no, wait a minute, you'll have none left when Quigg wipes out Frampton. :yep :lol:

    What if Ward fought the Dirrell brothers?

    they won't fight because they're friends. but if it did go down with Andre, i'd pick Ward to win on points because Dirrell is weak minded and would be ground down.

    don't know enough about the other Dirrell. i've seen a few of his fights but i'd need to see more. he looks a good fighter from what little i've seen though.

    Because he can't draw at all. Froch can. And Froch's girl looks a lot better than Ward's too. Not related to this but still, had to mention that.
