    From today's chat:

    Mikey (Santa Cruz)
    Hey Dan-te's Inferno,Any word on Ward's participation on the undercard of Cotto-Canelo? Do you see him fighting again at 168, or has that ship sailed?

    Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (1:18 PM)
    He is working on a deal that if completed would have him on the card and as a light heavy. His days at 168 are done.

    I agree. As we age we carry more weight, so LHW is probably natural for Ward now.

    Can't wait to see all the great fights at LHW waiting for Ward.

    One thing I learned from the Ward-Goossen situation it that Ward simply isn't all that honest. Sound harsh, but it's the truth #boxing

    Anyone that fell for Andre Ward's 'offer' to GGG, well, they just aren't that smart.. It's that simple. And some are that dumb #boxing

    Ward-Pascal by early 2016 would be good.

    Nah, he can easily make 168 still but he's just "daring to be great!" :lol:

    Fonfara and Stevenson fights don't seem likely with the promotional crisis. Ward-Pascal and Kovalev-Ward are the fights we could hope for.

    Nope. Fonfara is a Haymon guy, Stevenson is a Haymon guy. Don't work with Roc Nation.

    Fill in the blanks, try again.

    How many years before WBA catches on and takes Ward's belt away?
    Chudinov should be elevated as the champ.
