    he has had 1 fight on HBO, and he doesn't really have anywhere to go lol. a lot of guys don't realize that they are at the mercy of the networks, and not the other way around. There isn't an outcry to see Andre Ward or Guillermo Rigondeaux. sad but true...

    Good for HBO. Let Ward fight them on ESPNIII or FoxSports. They are not HBO worthy fights.

    Truax and Sartison are barely ranked in the top fifteen. These are two men in fringe-contention. Andre Ward is a top three pound for pound boxing master, 1# Super Middleweight. Pathetic fight -- even for a comeback.

    Apparently, none other than the recently robbed Zsolt Erdei's been calling out Ward now.

    Not sure if HBO would accept that fight, but at least that's a lot better than the other names they brought to the network. Erdei's a good fighter but shouldn't be too much of a challenge for Andre in his comeback fight since he's years past his best.

    Oosthuizen would be acceptable but Erdei at 175 would be ideal.

    ward v dirrellivant give irrellivant one last chance at the highest level as they both run from each other in the super six , if not ward should move up and irrelivant would have give up his last shot of beinging offered the big money making fights.
    so no one should then let him get paid like a mother****er anyway

    Those are garbage fights.

    Of course HBO would turn them down, they're disgraceful at best.

    Yeah, I was kinda thinking that when I heard Zsolt had called out Ward. Shouldn't be too much for Ward, but a big step up from what he'd been suggesting. Actually Ward's gotta fair bit of cheek asking HBOs to air a fight that's basically irrelevant when he's been outta the picture for 2 years.

    I'd like the Erdei fight but it's crap if the fight takes place at 168 as I could see Ward demanding.

    Ward starting to lose credibility.Will he ever fight again or is he taking the Roy Jones way out-a bum of the month "fight".

    he's done that since super6. while everyone traveled and fought this guy was cooking some 120-108 home town decisions against "warriors" like Green and Bika.:bbb
