    So Andre Ward is back after a lay off. He said he wants to fight and defend his belts, but at 168. Problem is, Froch doesn't want it and Andre had cleaned out the division not too long ago.
    Do you see any competitive fights for him that are not 1 sided beat downs within his division?

    Dirrell bros that don't want to fight Ward and maybe those UK fighters in Groves and Degeale, there is a up and coming mexican too but He is too young don't remeber well His name. The others are waste of time, maybe a stay busy against Stieglitz and Sturm, but both fighters will turn down the fight too. wait for GGG, Chavez or move up are the only option.

    Didn't even think of the fights mentioned above. I don't want to stay at 168 much longer.

    This.

    and he's a ***** for calling out smaller GGG who's not finished at 160 instead of moving up himself.

    Those are good fights I'd like to see but they won't be competitive except GGG.

    Nothing much in 168 unless he can get big money fight with Chavez (which I doubt since he is Haymon's fighter now) he should move up.
    Why wait for Golovkin if he can earn more money with Stevenson & Kovalev at 175.
    If he wants Golovkin that bad he should move to 160.

    I actually welcome Ward back. He's a good fighter but least he can do now is to fight on regular.
    The only fights where people might have doubts about the outcome is with 1 guy from 160 and few from 175.

    There are interesting fights but I'm not sure how many would be competitive

    And the good thing is, RN should b able to do business with all the top fighters promotional companies apart from Dirrell?

    RN already have a feud with Al Haymon? Is that right?

    Ru serious?

    Ward is so many levels above Stevenson it's not even funny

    Due to his inactivity I think ppl have forgotten how effective Ward is in the ring

    He wasnt being serious, just humouring a poster called KovalevGOAT


    A fight with Groves could be interesting. Ward lacks the power to Froch Groves. And Groves himself doesnt lack speed, skills or power
