    Why are we talking about Ward fighting Froch/Calzaghe? and not Chavez Jr/GGG?

    I'm just saying......he's #2 P4P...shouldn't we be demanding he take tougher fights?

    Then people will ***** that he's calling out smaller men. Chavez Jr will get DESTROYED. He won't move up. He loves having the advantage of being the bigger fighter that's why he shrinks himself to 160. And GGG i don't think will want to come up to fight Ward after he's on a wave of popularity and just getting his name out.

      P4P is not a weight division.

        Chavez jr. doesn't qualify as a tougher fight and GGG is at 160. Before Golovkin moves up he has work to do there. Ward may have already beaten Froch but that's his toughest test at 168 at the moment. Moving up to 175 would've been a better suggestion.

          I'm not saying GGG or Chavez Jr beats him, but I don't think those are easy fights for Ward. They may be smaller guys but they probably still carry just as much if not more power than Ward at 160. Plus, these are exciting fights because they will take it to him. I'm not really too thrilled to see Ward/Froch 2 and Calzaghe is a joke.

          And Ward already beat Dawson who is #1 at Light Heavy so who else there would be more interesting than GGG or Chavez Jr?

              Well I do agree that Golovkin would be a good challenge. I just rather see GGG try to conquer 160 first. Plus, GGG would be small at 168. That would be an awesome fight though. I just don't see it with Chavez, however. His hand and foot speed are far too slow to compete. Chavez is tough though so I see him taking a hell of a beating. Does he even have a punchers' chance? His KO power at 160 isn't great.

              I don't even consider a Calzaghe fight a remote possibility. It's just banter. As for Froch, he's earned a rematch and he will go out on his shield so why not.

              175 doesn't have many names either but it is uncharted territory and a new weight class to dominate. It just presents a new, fresh challenge. I wouldn't mind seeing Pascal, Dawson, and Cleverly (in a year or two) fights.

                Chavez Jr. isn't a tougher fight than Froch.

                  We can't demand anything of Ward. He will do whatever he wants to do and we have no say in that at all. All we can do his hope he fights this guy or that guy. I think Ward fighting Froch in the UK is a good fight for Ward and I don't think it is an easy fight. Ward calling out Calzaghe is BS. Calzaghe is an old fighter that retired 5 years ago. If Ward beat him now it certainly would not mean Ward could beat a prime Calzaghe. I like Chavez but I think he is too crude and sloppy to beat Ward or give Ward as hard a fight as Froch would give Ward. I think GGG. would KO Ward and I hope that fight does happen although I don't here about team Ward talking about a possible fight with GGG.

                    He should either move down to 160 or move up to 175.
