2004 Olympic gold medal winner Andre Ward (17-0, 12KOs) wants to make a statement in 2009. One of the names at the top of his list is former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor,�who won bronze at the�2000 Olympic Games.

Ward's promoter Dan Goossen told BoxingScene.com that he's�had conversations with Taylor's promoter Lou DiBella. Recently HBO turned down a fight between Taylor and WBC middleweight champion Carl Froch of Nottingham. Goossen believes the two styles would make�an exciting fight. He says Ward is ready and willing to jump in there with Taylor on HBO.

Since HBO went cold on Froch, DiBella has�received interest from several parties - including Roy Jones Jr.

"What better way for Andre to start off 2009.�A veteran against a young bull .I think�a fight with Taylor�has all of�the ingredients for a great fight," Goossen said.

I'd rather Ward fight Miranda or Andre Dirrell. Personnally I'll take Dirrell.
