    Could they find a worse bum for Ward to fight?

    Why is Andre Ward fighting clubfighter Shelby Pudwill? Were there no better opponents available?

    Pudwill is ranked BoxRec #216, and not ranked by any of the sanctioning organizations. He's had just one fight at 168, he normally fights at 160...

    And he was KOed in round ONE by John Duddy at middleweight!

    Gusmyr Perdomo is at least ranked WBA #1 contender, and he's been in with several top 50 super middleweights.

    Why wouldn't Ward fight 1) someone who normally fights at 168 and 2) someone ranked in the top 200 at 168?

        Tomorrow isn't for the Super Six. Kessler has to fight a mandatory, and Ward is having a tuneup.

            I know he should of fought Andrade or something. Maybe even Roy Jones. The problem is the division is always so full of stiffs.

                  No, Ward should have fought 1) a super middleweight, not a middleweight 2) someone who could last one round with John Duddy and 3) someone ranked in the top 200 at super middleweight.

                    RJJ fights at 175. Andrade is no stiff.
