    we don't even need our imaginations with the froch fight. ward broke his little baby hands, and still whupped him 10 rounds to 2. froch really only won one round by any sizable margin.
    Fool. Groves would give ward a fight. He's prob the only guy at 168 who would and could. Not saying he'd win but he'd make Ward work for his money.

    Having said that, Ward needs to grow a pair and come to England. I honestly believe he'd have no problem getting a victory here and it would make him a whole heap of cash on top of becoming an international star.

    However, he'd rather sit around in Oakland suing people and not fighting anyone.

    Put up or shut up.

      The irony is this 'domestic' fight feels bigger than any fight he's been in. I've never said this but I honestly don't like this guy

      He will never be cotto style diva A-side

        Ward like Mayweather is going to have to take the necessary steps to become a huge star. Mayweather in his post fight conference did say his ultimate goal is to make Ward a huge PPV star.

          ward made 2 million us in his last fight, and he doesn't have to pay the crazy UK taxes. he probably makes less than he would if he were to fight [and probably get robbed,] in europe, but the idea that he's making a tenth of what froch makes is ridiculous.


          ward's also got plenty of american sponsorships, and he works as a commentator part time on HBO.
          2 million dollars is the payday of a Pauper

              I'm willing to bet that the winner fights Kessler. If Ward fights this year, It'll be against Kashtonov.

                    Ward feels he has to say this stuff so as not to seem marginalised.

                    I hope he's not on commentary for HBO, RJJ is more suited to the event.
