Who do you think Ward will fight next?

[UglyPug]

Not who you necessarily WANT him to fight next. . . Because there's only one answer - Bute. . . But since that is likely not going to happen at least for 2012, and with Ward's hand injury, he will probably sit out at least until may. . .

I just PRAY that he doesn't pull a sergio martinez. . . or even a bute. . .


I have a feeling his next fight will be a rematch with Kessler in Denmark. Remember how Kessler was offering the winner like 10 million? NO WAY Ward could turn that down, even if it means going to Denmark. . . With so much spotlight on Denmark, I think he will get a fair shake there. . .

Kessler is probably one of the top 5 earners in the sport because of how much money he makes from Danish PPV's. . .

Ward stays busy taking on both of the Dirrell brothers and takes on the winner of Froch/Bute by the end of the year or early next year.

Probably Anthony Dirrell first, then Andre Dirrell....then the winner of Bute-Froch 2.

If his hand gets healthy fairly quick, then I'd expect him to get the ****** mando with Anthony Dirrell out of the way. If his hand requires more time then it looks like Kessler in the early fall.

1) I think he will fight his mandatory anthony dirrell probably in april
2) he will then have a rematch with kessler probably around august (My guess)
3) then assuming bute has more names on his record he will fight him late in the year like november or december.

Ward has said numerous times that he wants all the belts in at 168. thats his goal.

****** mandatory, funny coming from a Eurobum. Kessler will never fight Ward again. No matter how much the promoters bid during purse bids to bring it to Denmark.

Bute, and probably Dirrell

LOL, Ward shouldn't do that all in a year. Anthony Dirrell and Bute are fine for 2012. Maybe Dirrell for 2013. Dawson for 2014.

Sauerland said he would offer the biggest purse ever at SMW to bring the s6 winner to Denmark.

Interesting. Sauerland Event. Basically, Hitler with a smile (a very convincing smile, I might add). So what's the biggest SMW purse? $4M.
