    We should probably concentrate on his return date in general than moving up. April is already out.... and I doubt they put him in June with Cotto because that's a whole lot of money of one event.

    If it is his asking price that is turning everyone away, dude needs to swallow his pride and go down some

      GGG can't get the likes of Canelo, Cotto or Quillin in the ring, that guy needs to move up for a challenge as all his fights are boring one sided uncompetitive beat downs, if he moves up to fight Ward he loses, like the reason GGG is scared to use Ward's name any more and hasnt already moved up lol.
      These fights are possible, and far more entertaining as well.

        The only one that seems possible is Canelo....maybe Cotto after the first PPV bombs

            I don't think ward wants any of that. He would be so outgunned in that fight. The difference in power would be ridiculous and it's not like Kovalev can't box.

            Ward's lack of power would be a major disadvantage against a guy as good and powerful as kovalev.

              Traveling to Denmark or England, while I think he should and would love to see him do it, that is optional because he already beat both of those fighters. People don't wait for "REVENGE" to COME TO THEM usually the "GO GET REVENGE". So if Froch or Kessler want revenge (which I don't think they do because I don't think either really feel they can win but is trying to look interested to impress their fans) they should GO GET IT! He is with Roc Nation, they're willing to put up BIG MONEY so the excuse that "IT IS NO MONEY IN FIGHTING WARD IN THE US" is no longer a good excuse

              Fans of James DeGale, I see him Calling out Froch but ZERO MENTION OF WARD! Same with Groves and most of them at 168 they don't even mention Ward! Chavez Jr is now at 168 is he not? I don't see any of these fighters you list mentioning or Challenging Ward! Just like nobody challenges Rigondeaux in his Division or GGG or Kovalev!
              If Roc Nation is willing to foot the bill and put up big money, why is it that both Showtime and HBO refused Ward's terms to show his tune up rights? Roc Nation is not paying the bill, they expect the network to do so and they are not interested.

                Really though when it comes to Ward moving up it should be at the right moment, it would be kind of dumb of him to move up much before the Kovalev-Stevenson fight. The winner of that fight versus Ward is a damn big fight, if Ward gets his act together that is borderline PPV.

                    Ward doesn't want it. "Guys I'm not a light heavyweight." He isn't even confident in himself against Kovalev. He'd rather fight a middleweight.
