Dude just got 2 million to spar with Edwin Rodriguez FFS. He shoulda just kept fighting and stop trying to sue Goosen.

Well he is right because lets be honest, fans wouldn't give any of those guys a chance again Ward I know I wouldn't so why in the hell would they tune in. He is a nice classy guy, he don't talk trash or anything so Casual Fans are just looking past him
Ward need Groves to win against Froch...he needs somebody new to emerge as a threat to his crown at 168, if not MOVE UP and with Stevenson gone from HBO Target the guy they are hyping up right now at 175 Sergey Kovalev
Do what Lennox Lewis did, Lennox came to the US and just destroyed everybody that HBO was hyping up from Michael Grant to David Tua so maybe he does have to travel to the UK and take out Froch AGAIN in his Back Yard, Kessler in Denmark and George Groves in his backyard. A robbery would only make them look bad not him, leave no doubt like Terance Crawford did against Ricky Burns and I don't think he has to worry about Robbery or anything like that
Given the choice of those 4 names, they are really blah at the moment. But things can change, as you said with Groves possibly beating Froch. And I'm on the same wagon about him moving up in weight. I mean, it's been the obvious thing to do for a while now. Hope that move is made at least by the top/middle of next year and let's hope he still isn't on the shelf for that long.

More backwards than not fighting at all?
I would say sitting around doing nothing is a leap back
I would definitely prefer to see him fight.
Then who can he fight?
I'm not sure. As a fan, I'm tired of him being on the shelf.

If he thinks taking one of those four fights offered is a step back, surely he must honk sitting back for so long is just as bad
He got was it 2M for Rodriguez? I guess he thinks he can comand more for his mando (Kashtonov). I wouldn't know if HBO is prepared to Shell out that kind of dough, but I doubt it.
