    Ward needs to fight Hopkins, there is no other fight for him at that magnitude. I find it ridiculous that Hopkins wants to fight Mayweather but not Ward...
    Who else can Hopkins fight anyway...?
    Who else can Ward fight next? JCJr, DeGale, Groves, Dirrels? Non of them are big enough. GGG will come later

    anyone who's been keeping up with HBO knows very well that they're trying to set up Stevenson with either Kovalev, or the Bute-Pascal winner.

    i think Ward would fight him, but he's after that payday with Chavez atm.

    Stevenson called out Ward on national TV, but Ward ran....................Stevenson said he would fight Ward at 175 or 168, but again Ward ran...........Kovalev said he would like to fight Ward, Hopkins, Stevenson or anyone...............but Ward is running............Ward wants to fight fighters in lower weight classes in his home town, with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission and has refused to take a PED test...............

    Stevenson doesn't diserve to fight him. Wtf!!! That guy is f.ckin ridiculous. Stevenson put a clinic on Cloud, knock Dawson in one minute. Ward is scared!

    He did the same thing with Bute. Every guy who he sees as a threat, he says they are not worth it. But he wanted to fitght that drunken guy (I forgot his name because my memory is bad because I drink to much).

    After Edwin what's left for Ward??
    (Besides that @168 who cares about rematches)
    ^Been there done that.

    175lbs should be Ward's next stop.

    Ward does not have the confidence he should have which is one reason he refuses to take PED test or fight outside his home town with his referee, judges, boxing commission, etc., he even has to have his commentators to tell you who is winning the fight.

    hopkins said he wants to move down and fight at the lower weights. hes at 175 now and i dont think he will go all the way down to 160. so if he fights at 168 there is sum options for him. if he wants a fight with a huge magnitude then froch/hopkins would be huge. or sense he is ****in gunna prolly be 49 the next time he fights it doesnt matter who he fights its an amazing thing he is still even competing so if he fights dirrell/bika winner groves/froch winner it would draw alot. an i dont think b hop wants any of andre, but andre would love that fight.

    He's definitely going to ask him about Chavez, Stevenson, Kovalev and Golovkin.

    Hopkins said he would never fight Stevenson or Kovalev. Hopkins did say that he wants to fight Void, he would come down to 160 which is his old weight..........Kovalev was Hopkins' mandatory, but Hopkins refused to fight him, so Kovalev had to go to Cleverly's home turf and fight for the WBO title. I doubt if Ward will fight Hopkins...............but you never know. I would like to see Ward fight outside his hometown one day..........

    if Max isn't kissing his a$$ too much he may ask about Adonis and Kolavev, though I doubt it. He'll mention GGG for sure though, and pothead.

    Ward will say that the entire 175 lbs division haven't done **** to deserve a shot at him.

    Stevenson said one time he could make 168, so Ward would be totally justified and in the right to demand they fight there and to refuse to compromise on weight, and it would be just as impressive as if he beat him 175.

    Ward really should look at LHW. The only fights of note out there at 168 now are... Froch II if/when he beats Groves. Honestly Edwin is one of the better fights to be made at 168 behind perhaps unification with Stieglitz and not much else.

    I usually admire staying at one division and making an ATG sort of claim there. But up at LHW he has matches in Stevenson and Kovalev that would do wonders for the resume. Both heavy punchers though so high risk when stepping up. If he does a tune up will go down first. By that time Stevenson and Kovalev likely will have fought and hopefully the demand and money will be there to make it happen... As far as a good tune up for Ward goes, WBA titlist Shumenov sounds just about perfect.
