Then he should move up to 168 for Froch. His purse for Macklin was 3 hundo. I remember the threads from people all outraged that he was making that little. GGG is already 31 and should be on that Rigo (fast track) plan. GGG vs Froch in Wembly is a freakin homerun. His end could be 3 to 4 mil easy.

I also think that a Froch fight would be best right now.
But they can't sell out a venue like Wembley -- the O2 arena, maybe... And they would still make $3-4 mln each (with a properly hyped campaign)...

I wouldn't call Ward "a dude"...
He's a fine athlete and a very intelligent fighter.
But because of his twisted style he's exposed to serial injuries.

I wasn't knocking him.

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight just a little bit down the line. I'd still rather see GGG clean out the middleweight division first.

The problem with Ward is that he is a natural southpaw fighting as an orthodox -- just because he has no actual skills or power in his right hand... Ward tried hard to change this, but he ended by injuring his right shoulder...

That's exactly that he can't do -- because everybody is too injured or too busy in ducking him...
They all want him to move up.

ward has been talking alot lately.....more louder than usual after mayweather called him out saying he has no fan base etc... strange...maybe he is trying to get media attention after all these years... cheers mate...will be a good battle if it happens.

THe only other title he can hunt right now is the IBF and I think that's what HBO is going for.
The only problem is Geale might opt for a Sturm rematch..... if he does, I hope the issue of where the fight will be will muck it up

@ "Ward has been talking a lot"

Well yeah, when you're an HBO analyst it is actually encouraged that you talk.

Seriously the ***tardery on NSB must be at an all time high.

Yes...
Geale would rather take the Sturm fight -- but not in Germany. One can't go to Germany unless he's sure he is able to win by KO.

It definitely seems that way at times.
