I live on East Coast of U.S. Take some fights in Europe,A.C., and Vegas.Ward will be a huge draw. He is starting to become good draw as it is in CA. A rematch with Froch again in A.C. or Vegas would help. Sergio at MW in Vegas ??? Easy match to make as Lou D lets his guys fight and Gossen does too. If Ward can make MW at 160 lbs....HUGE FIGHT with Sergio in Vegas. Kessler if he wins in Denmark ??? B-hop in A.C. ? I think he fiought Froch in A.C. before the Brits and everyone else knew how good the Cobra really is. I think that the US is really warming to Ward too and seeing how freaking good he really is.
    I can dig it. I watch everything, (stream ppv's though)!! But if it's televised I'm seeing it, God willing!!

      Like I said, you are wrong, I never praised Ward for that particular victory, you don't know what you're talking about & I'll put my points on it right now, what's up?
      At least you agree that Ward calling Floyd out at 160 and not dropping any weight to fight Sergio is wrong....

      And if you talked crap about Ward fighting at Dawson at 168, I must have missed it. Because all I saw after the fight was not specific praising of Ward beating Dawson, but specific praising on how he's the best fighter and people are finally coming around, etc.

      I didn't hear you get on Ward as much as you did Manny.

        Where as, you constantly used to talk crap about Manny fighting Cotto at 145
        Like I said, put your points on it. I've never praised Ward for the Dawson win.

        I've also had Ward as my pfp before that fight.

        Rendering your double standard claim obsolete.

        Your entire argument this morning is wrong, your whole conception is misguided & you came outa left feel from buttfvccsunday making a boatload of crap up, fact.

            Than how is Ward #1 P4P when the last thing he's done recently was beat Dawson who was 7 lbs south of his best weight???

            I said I don't recall you praising him specifically on the Dawson win, but I don't recall you getting on him the way you did Manny for god knows how long for fighting Cotto at 145.

            What's your take on Ward not moving up in weight to fight Dawson....is it a cherry pick??? What is it???

              The fact is Ward SHOULD HAVE went to 175 to fight Dawson, if he wanted that win to look better. A certain someone you label cherry picker would have went up in weight to get that win. It's time for Ward to travel to 175, he's already 29.

              It's a double standard. Manny didn't fight Cotto at his best weight at the time, 147. He made him come down 2 lbs. Ward didn't fight Dawson at his best weight, 175. He made him come down 7 lbs and wouldn't even accept a CW that was being offered for them to meet in the middle.

              Than he proceeds to call out Floyd at 160, but doesn't say he'll drop any weight to fight Martinez. I really like Andre Ward, but since the Dawson thing when he decided not to go up in weight, and since saying he'd drop to 160 for Floyd, but not drop any weight for Sergio......it's rubbed me the wrong way to be honest....."dude".
              I find it terribly fascinating how he ignored you pointing out Ward coming down to 160 for Floyd...but not for Sergio or meeting halfway for Dawson...also funny how you asked him if he's okay with Floyd fighting Sergio at 150..since Sergio said he would..similar to the Ward/Dawson fiasco....instead of responding to those logical points...he wants to make a bet..what a joke!..

                He needs to move up to 175 and fight in a weight class that has some relivance not some "junior weight class" its all BS! Get rid of all the junior divisions, total BS created by the promotors to add more title fights! If you weigh 168 you can weigh 173 and be a LtHvy! Ray

                  You're still here?? Now you don't recall me praising him specifically for the Dawson win?? Which one is it??

                  Whats my take on Ward accepting Dawson's challenge to come down to 168?? Not much. If Dawson was dumb enough to do it, why should Ward not let him??

                  Dawson calling out Ward & offering his a$$ at 168, is not the same as Cotto being forced to fight Pacman at 145. Which is why I don't hold it against ward for Dawson's ******ity. You cannot compare the situation, no matter how much you try.

                    You really shouldn't piggy back off of a poster when every point he's made is false boy.

                    You clearly haven't read whats been going on. I spoke on Ward coming to 160 for Floyd. I spoke on Floyd/Martinez as well. The joke is on you.

                      All I know Ward calling Floyd out for a fight at 160 makes him look like he is ducking or wants to no part of Martinez.

                      You wanna fight little Floyd at 160 but not the middle weight King Martinez at 160? How about Julio Chavez???

                      I know people will order Martinez Vs Ward on PPV without any issues. Either way you put it, Ward makes more money fighting Martinez at 160 than he does fighting Dawson and other fighters.

                      So if it's not the money, is it the risk???
