    Glad to see that Andre is finally coming to his senses. He can spring himself straight back to the top with a win over Froch but needed to accept that Froch is the draw even if he's seen as the better fighter.

    Calling for Wembley Stadium (I'm sure that'll be music to Eddie's ears) it's good to see one of the most talented fighters in the sport finally talk some sense. Time to dust off the passport Andre!

    Really? Never expected that to happen. Now see if it actually comes of.

    Why would Ward want to fight someone he schooled again? That's like if Mayweather rematched Canelo, or Guerrero.. Go fight Stevenson or Kovalev and stack that resume up.

    This would indeed be a welcomed event. Ward FINALLY leaving his hometown. The atmosphere in the UK would be electric!!

    Ward needs some exposure to bring $$ to the table for future fights.

    He will never step in the ring against Kovalev though:nono. I even have doubts about him fighting GGG..

    Ward has nothing to gain. He'll school Froch and possibly get robbed like Dirrell did.

    Hmm, never thought of it this way, but you're right. However, I don't think he'll gain that much exposure in the US, since Froch isn't popular over here.

    That would be SOB Ward's biggest payday. Ward can't draw that kind of crowd in America..................

    Even if Ward was willing to travel-which I doubt, Hearn has already said that's not a Wembley fight because Ward isn't a draw.

    It would be City Ground at best.

    Is there a city or a place called UK in the States?

    Great... he'll make a lot of money to beat up Froch again and it'll only help his image. It'll be a monster event.

    I'm glad he has finally seen sense and shown he is willing to compromise even a little bit.

    Froch of course would have preferred to fight be in Nottingham where he will have the most vocal fans and where he will feel most comfortable but I think this is a fair compromise on Ward's behalf.
