His last fight was awesome, he stopped dawson (weight drained or not, I was actually rooting for dawson pissed off lol) Maybe if he gets a big exposure fight on HBO against someone like GGG he could do a PPV with Chavez or any other top dog

As great as he is, he has no ****e. Very little it factor. There are nice guys in sports that are also all time greats but he just comes off more as Tim Duncan than Derek Jeter. He needs a strong and loud antagonist if he really wants to sell ppv.

Either Golovkin or Chavez. Golovkin because of what he brings to the table and especially if he keeps winning. Chavez because he has a bigger following. With that said, Ward doesn't break a sweat in either fight.

I voted for Golovkin, but that was based more on the hardcore fan in me, as Golovkin's not only undefeated, but exciting to watch, and if he can knock off 2-3 more high profile opponents in exciting fashion
a fight between him and Ward should sell itself. Undefeated's going at it as always fun to watch. Though it probably won't get too mainstream.
Mayweather might not be the most exciting fighter, but his fights sell because of his technical mastery and I believe being undefeated is an additional selling point for Floyd.
Ward won the Super 6 and beat Dawson .. but all this time he's missing is really hurting his chances to capitalize on it and maybe become a Superstar. Then again Ward was never really a big draw, and the dude was an Olympic champ to boot.
Some boxers just aren't terribly popular and at 29, it looks like Andre Ward is going to have trouble becoming mainstream/getting on PPV.
**though Chavez Jr or Golivkin would be big fights for Ward
