    Froch should take the fight, he's improved immensely since they last fight and it would be an incredile for boxing if we have top fights

    Manny vs floyd
    Ward vs Froch
    Cotto vs GGG
    Kell Brook vs Kahn
    Tyson Fury vs Klitscko
    Thurman vs Bradley
    Wilder vs Joshua
    Degale vs Groves

    Wishful thinking.

    Groves/ DeGale 2 would be a great fight, but a fight Im sure DeGales people have little interest in ATM.
    He's slated to fight Andre Dirrel for that vacant IBF title, and I doubt the IBF will grant Groves a 3rd opportunity in just 5 fights. :think

    Brook/Khan???? Very possible if Khan is SERIOUS about aborting his mission on Pac or Mayweather.
    Brook would be by far the larger payday over a Pacqioua fight, especially if Pac should lose to Mayweather, and we all know Khan can't/won't fight from Aug to October.
    Khan should definitely try to IMPOSE this fight for July. But he'd best get on the gas if he wants to make it.

    Fury/Klitschko???? Would ALSO be a great fight, but Fury is a HUGE talker......And with an opportunity to fight Browne/Chagaev winner in the fall, or Wilder in the summer, it's more likely that Fury pursues one of those fights. Both of which increase his potential purse vs an even older and less formidable Wladimir Klitshcko.

    Thurman/Bradley???? This would be a GREAT fight for the May/Pac 2 undercard. It would serve as chief support, with the winner a possible opponent for Pacqioua in late 2015/early 2016 should he be on the losing end of both fights.
    Cotto/GGG????? Never in a million years. I would think Sergio Martinez has larger cojones, and is the more makeable fight ATM. Cotto will fight only guys he's got serious advantages over UNLESS they're gonna make his a career payday, ie Canelo.

    Wilder/Joshua??? More likely that Wilder will defend against Tarver, Thompson, or Arreola in the summer. And Fury or Charr in the fall/winter. No chance in hell GAYMAN lets Wilder anywhere near Joshua until he's bringing $10+++ million to the table. :-( MOF.....I would say that Malik Scott would get a fight with Wilder before Johsua were to.:think


    You got good match making hopes, but with the politics, we'd be lucky to see Khan Brook out of all those matches. :good

    Yeah I know full well those fights won't happen, but those are the fights that should happen and it would make boxing the best and most exciting sport if those were the kind of fights that were consistently made.

    The governing bodies should force fighters to fight the best rather than giving them the option of vacating. Or they should schedule the fights on their behalf so fighters wouldn't have the opportunity to choose easier routes to either climb up the rankings or defend their titles.

    Won't happen Froch will use that Ward hasn't been relevant and that he is the draw and will want the fight on his terms with drug testing while Ward will want the fight in Oakland with his terms...

    Good. It's about time Ward was made to defend his belt against a top SMW.

    No, Andre Ward the smooth jazz musician.

    This is a little ditty he composed about his reluctance to travel outside the USA.

    would love this to come off, either a big roc nation show or in England in a stadium, Ward should be able to be hyped up enough to get people interested

    Froch never gave up his WBA belt so WARD has no choice.Ward must defend or vacate..
