will Andre Ward fight in 2013?

Why the hell should Andre Ward fight? He's clearly p4p #1 and no one else in his respective weight class has even the slightest chance of beating him. Why would he waste his time with someone who isn't at least ranked p4p #2? I say he should wait on the sidelines until mid 2014 before we even have a conversation about a possible opponent. a year out of the ring is like kryptonite for a fighter. i'd like to see my andre in a stay busy fight. :rofl: i think they're electing to stay out of the ring in part because of the possiblity of ward's hands or other injuries getting hurt in a stay busy fight. if you're not a knockout puncher you're probably going 12, and that's a long time for your hands to get broken, especially when you land so clean so often. i think he wants to take one or two big fights a year at this stage, and they don't seem to be out there. fight hopkins, for christ's sake. why don't they fight? what's this "agreement" they've got?

he's waiting for chavez jr to do to him what sergio did, hence easy victory. GGG? never ever never, ward aint stupid

Nope n I don't even care if he does. Might sound bad but f*ck him n hbo! They dissing Rigo but sucking wards jock like he's some super entertaining mother f*cker himself. He's also trying to play the victim role in his contract dispute with Goosen when he's not it at all. He wants big money n to be a super star but it ain't gonna happen n it's not Goosens fault either.

There might be some fallout from him trying to break away from Goossen. That's probably why he's got nothing scheduled yet

Andre dirrell would be a good fight for Ward, since everybody else is occupied. Yep Andre Dirrell, or Jermain Taylor if he's looking for an easy comeback fight with a name. James DeGale, Mikkel Kessler, Oosthuizen...the names are out there if he really wants to fight. If not, he'll slip even further down my P4P list. The guy doesn't have a legit win since 2011, we are on the way to heading into 2014 :rolleyes:

no Froch fight until 2014. Probably no Golovkin fight until 2014. Chavez Jr. gets freed up in September. Edwin Rodriguez said he wants Bika next. All the LHWs are pre-occupied as well. There really isn't anybody for him to fight right now. Will we see him at all this year? If not, how much is he to blame for that?

He's taking a page out of Russell's book? :nonono: wow thats funny.

i heard ward say he is looking for a september opponent

Nope! I think he wants no parts of triple g!

Superb fighter but if you take him out of the picture 168 and 175 look more interesting. I honestly don't think there is a fight you could put him in that I would stay up until 5 a.m to watch and that is essentially because he's too good and that his fights even against world class opposition are stop start and one-sided. He's one of the boxers were you look at the clock in the corner of the screen and then you blink and 3 minutes has disappeared and nothing too much has happened apart from Ward being thoroughly in control without really opening up.

isn't ward slated fo a return fight in late september? opponent TBD. He's taking a page out of Russell's book? :nonono:
