    Ward own words said (before he fought Paul Smith) he needed at least two tune up fights. And if he's so desperate to fight GGG, then why not accept he's a B side and lower his asking price. Or drop to middleweight and fight GGG like Dawson did for Ward.

    ......that you actually think has a realistic chance of happening.

    I'd like to see Brook against someone elite at 147, but after beating Porter, he has made no attempts at fighting anyone, even ducked Rios.

    Brook-Bradley is a realistic fight in which I see Brook eeking out a win. His promoter doesn't believe in him though.

    Yes he has. He tried to fight Khan and put his name in the hat to fight Mayweather on Sept 12th.

    And how exactly did Brook duck Rios. Rios turned the fight down, not Brook.

    And Brook v Bradley would be realistic if Bradley took less pay than he got for the Chaves and Vargas fights and come to the UK, but I'm gonna guess Bradley ain't willing to do that. And HBO have used all their dates for 2015 too.

    It has a more realistic chance of happening than GGG getting the Cotto-Canelo winner. They've both been mentioned as potential foes in a possible mega bout. Their teams have both taken shots at each other in the media. And it's certainly a fight that HBO would like, as they seem interested in pitting Ward with Golovkin and Kovalev. What's unrealistic about it?

    If Cotto-Canelo is competitive, as I suspect it probably will be, I think that increases the likelihood of it becoming possible sooner rather than later.

    Before the end of the year though (see the title).

    GGG fighting mid October, it's unlikely he will fight again before the end of the year, Cotto and Canelo in late November defo won't fight again, and given Ward's activity rate we will probably see him in 2017. :lol:
