    Good!!!!!!!!!!!

    That way, Ward have the belt and he will defend it against real Comp. Balzay is decent but those guys dont want to fight out of europe.

    I dont see the problem here guys. I mean, Froch-Bute is set and Kessler will whoop Ward if they fight right now. So fighting Balzay is the right move!!!!!!!!

        It makes me wonder how Erdei has held onto his WBO belt for so many years without a similar challenge.
        Let's see if Balsay really gets Ward. It's by no means certain just because one party calls out.

        Yeah. Erdei is a mystery man. It's such a shame that he keeps fighting less than stellar opposition in Germany considering that he is the linear champion. I wish he and Dawson could work something out.

            Miranda has never beaten anyone nearly as good as Froch. Based on the way he looked against Ward, he wouldn't have a chance to beat him.

              You could make the argument that Allan Green is as good as Froch, but... probably not colon cancer, weight drained Green.

              Howard Eastman isn't too bad of a fighter either.

                Inkin is Russian and is based in Germany.
                Yeah, I remember Ward being interviewed before and saying "We might fight Froch, he has a big following in Germany..."

                Sometimes it seems as if boxers don't even pay attention to anything that goes on outside of their own careers, even if it involves a likely future opponent.

                From what I've read, Froch doesn't have to face Ward until April 2010. If he unifies with Bute, he might get stripped by the WBC anyway (a la Tim Bradley).

                Ward might be making the right choice, although tbh I hope Balzsay beats him as I prefer his style.

                      Oakland is perfect for any Ward fight. Did everyone see how packed that place was? Standing room only if Ward fights for a real belt!
