I got myself excited about fighting Ward again but, dare I say it, he just didnt fancy it. Ward could have come over to England, made a career-high payday, and backed up his mouth. He said he beat me easily last time, that he only used one hand, and all the rest of it. So why avoid a rematch, if Im such an easy option?
Sure, hes had a long layoff but how many times has Floyd Mayweather come back after time off and faced the best? Ward is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, who regards himself as a magnificent athlete, so why not do the training, do the sparring, and get yourself ready? Ive had almost a year out myself and would only be looking to come back against a strong opponent.
Ward said he wouldnt fight in Nottingham City Ground and thats a venue which holds 35,000 fans. The problem is hes not big enough to fill Wembley Stadium and the biggest broadcasting networks arent interested in showing his fights. Hes got Paul Smith next, who is coming off two great fights with Arthur Abraham, so hopefully Paul can give him something to think about. All Im saying is, he could have been in against me and had the opportunity to regain the top spot.
