Joe Calzaghe reveals he still gets offers for fight 4/5 years after his retirement.
Joe claims he got called out a few weeks ago from Andre Ward's trainer wanting for Joe to come out of retirement and fight Ward.
Although Calzaghe would still be a huge draw, it show how desperate team Ward is for a big fight.
Despite, being the divisional number one, Ward has struggled with injures since the Dawson fight and can't land a big fight?
Ward does not have a very pleasing style, so the fans don't want to pay good money to see Andre fight.
The two biggest draws at Super middle tried to get Ward to come over to their back yard for a fight but Ward only likes to fight in Oakland.
As a result he has been frozen out, no big names on the horizon for Ward and unless Ward start to lower his demands and is willing to at least fight in neutral venues he not going to get many big pay days or big fights.
Ward seems weary of moving up to light-heavy and taking on the two newest brightest stars in the division in Stevenson and Kovalev, but may more willing to wait for GGG to move up SM and challenge him.
His fight against Rodriguez will be nothing but a televised sparring match is not going to add to his appeal.
While Carl Froch's career has gone from strength to strength since his loss to Ward, Ward career has gone backwards, starting with the draining of Dawson and now his inability to get a credible fight.
Ward could end up wasting his career unless he is willing to compromise to get the big fights, he must realise he is not the draw and the big draws in boxing will simply bypass him rather than dance to his rather specific tune.
