After Edwin Rodriguez backed out of the fight with Andre Ward, I came across the WBA's Rankings for Super Middleweights and when I saw the name on the list, and I have no idea why he's on there. It hit me.

It's going to be Yuri Foreman, talk about an easy tune-up, Yuri gets a pay-day and Ward will probably stop him. Has Yuri Foreman ever fought at 168lbs? I know he made his career as a 154lbs fighter but for some reason he's ranked #13 on the WBA Super Middleweight Rankings.
Where is GGG? why isnt he asking for this date? According to you guys he's the new george foreman. Why arent his fans calling for him to fight Ward? They have went into hiding since Ward announced he's ready for a fight. I'll be the first to say GGG is DUCKING WARD:dance:
Sorry bro, Ward wants a tune up fight meaning he wants to fight a bum for a million dollar dollars to test his shoulder out.
That's a trash fight. Idc if it does or doesn't anyway. Just hope Ward fights on a Saturday night that Showtime or UFC have something on aswell so I can tune it to that instead.

Why not move up and fight Kovalev?
lol.. how is he even in the top 50?
That's what I'm saying! It makes no damn sense to me that Yuri Foreman is even ranked in the 168lbs division when he's never had a single fight at that weight class. Plus, Lou DiBella is his promoter who in turn promotes Edwin Rodriguez and something tells me Foreman is the back-up plan and fall guy for a glorified tune-up for Ward.
What I don't understand is how the WBA is ranking Yuri Foreman at #13 of the 168lbs division. The dude has never fought at that weight, to me it's just something fishy and I do think HBO would agree to a fight like that on name value.
I can, because Yuri Foreman has been on the network before and lost a high-profile match to Miguel Cotto. HBO just wants some type of name in the ring with Ward and Yuri does bring an Israeli fan-base. Otherwise, I have no idea who the hell Ward will fight that HBO would approve off and if Andre Ward can get a stunning KO, it adds to his spotlight.
