    Wouldn't be surprised if Ward can make more money fighting anybody US , than fighting Froch in the poor island.

    You mean the time Ward said Bute had to fight someone good to earn a fight and summarily got his ass kicked by Froch?

    That time?

    Froch has Hops available anyways, most likely on HBO too for the US audience.

    Does Ward want a piece of that UK money in a very winnable fight ? Or does he opt out and let Hops grab that shot ?

    Further enhanced legacy, respect, increased offshore fanbase, even more money than just HBO. These are all the things Froch can offer Ward in a quite winnable fight, even in the UK to be honest.

    Who was Butes biggest win?
    Andrade?
    Bika?
    Old Man Johnson?

    Not exactly stellar is it?

    He got in with Froch and got beaten up.
    End of.

    They had the balls to enter the Super 6.

    Thats what they did.

    You mean former undisputed MW champ Kelly Pavlik who only ever got beat by an ATG 2 divisions bigger than him and top 4 p4p Maravilla?

    No, that fight is no longer on.

    Pavlik would actually be a bigger name on Wards resume than anyone Bute beat.

    I like Ward, but there's absolutely no reason for him not to have fought Bute. It would have been a huge unification fight, his biggest payday by far and a winnable fight. Yet he was claiming the widely regarded other top guy in the division had to 'earn' a shot'. Seemed ridiculous at the time, and still does. Especially when further down the line he was lining up a fight with Kelly Pavlik (who'd done what to earn his shot???).

    Froch stepped up and annihilated Bute in style, took out a mandatory and then just beat Kessler. Meaning in the last year he's beaten two of the top 3 SMW's in the world and picked up two belts - he's done exactly what you should do if you're working your way back into a fight with the so called 'Top Dog' of the division. So, unless Ward is going up to 175 then Froch is THE legitimate fight for him. And when you're making a fight you go where the interest and money is - and that's the Uk.

    I mean seriously, why fight in some half full hall in the USA for a mediocre purse when you can fight that same opponent in front of 40K fans and clear $2-3million? That's an honest question.
