Why is Andre Ward starting to appear "number 2" on P4P lists

[Pigeons]

edwin rodriguez is a fighter on a similar tier to george groves. they're contenders. froch had to fight groves twice, and almost got knocked out.

They're too thick to understand this.

That may well be the case, but I would still argue that one win over a George Groves level opponent in four years doesn't put you on the P4P list. If Ward goes to 168 after Smith and beats any of Andre Dirrell, DeGale, Groves, Jack or goes to 175 and beats Kovalev, Stevenson, Pascal, Fonfara etc I'd happily put him in my list.

As soon as he fights again he's back to #2 on my list. The only reason he's not on the list is due to inactivity from contractual issues.

No. He didn't want to fight the best so he just took some time off.
