    Anthony Dirrell, younger Dirrell borther. Would not ask for too much money, good solid test and can set up a future clash with brother Andre. Sure the Andres are friends and AD has no ***** but, if the money is right...? It would also gather the necessary attention on BET

    What do you think?

    :patsch This fight is not possible since Anthony is signed with Haymon, and won't do business with Ward's promotion Roc Nation.

    Well, I hope he signs to fight someone like DeGale or Jack instead or even the other Dirrell, I mean they're all with Haymon anyway so if he can get Anthony, he should be able to get others too.

    Difficult to see that fight happening considering Ward didn't fight Anthony Dirrell when Dirrell was Ward's WBC mandatory.

    Anthony wanted to get his shot at WBC no matter what, while Ward was talking about the fight not being attractive to the fans. The saga ended with WBC declaring Ward "champion emeritus" and then Ward vacating the belt.

    I would like to see this fight though. Ward would be the rightful favorite and it could set up a huge Andre Ward vs. Andre Dirrell showdown.

    It will probably be with some small SMW or MW at a 172 catchweight *Yawn*

    Ward's next fight will probably be somewhere around mid 2016 , another tune up against some semi retired guy. Nobody with a name will bow down to his demands right now, he doesn't generate enough interest to give his opponent a decent purse after his 2M are out of the pot.

    Oh and in all likelyhood he won't fight a Haymon boxer, another reason why fights with Degale and Dirrel probably won't be made in the next future.

    Andre needs to either come down from his high horse or he has to fight Paul Smith's until the interest in him rises again, but if he goes down that route one fight a year won't cut it.

    I can't remember a fighter in the last 10-15 years who sabotaged his own career so succesfully.

    He seems to be the best graduate in the history of the Winky Wright school of economics and negotiation tactics.

    Honestly, I think he'll fight someone like Periban on that Canelo undercard.

    I found this interview from May of last year. Could somebody embed this video? Man the reasons he gives for his lawsuit makes little sense. He claims he had a vision and that Dan was holding the black fighter down. This guy isn't genuine. He try's tom portray himself as some church mouse but he is a jerk.

    Like I said, Duva has been trying to get a Kovalev/Ward fight next year, doubt if Ward will do it though..............................Golovkin has the big names to fight, unification title fights, Ward does not, although Stevenson has called him out to fight at 175 or even at 168, Ward does not want that fight either.....................Ward has to have everything his way............Ward is a "Legend in his own mind."
