Who should Andre Ward fight next?

[vorgaphe]

With GGG fighting Lemieux and Kovalev apparently offering a fight to Beterbiev, where does that leave Ward? Once there are enough suggestions I'll add a poll.

Ward is too good for everyone at 168, the division is terrible. He should move up to 175 and get his feet wet and take a fight or two to get his feet wet before fighting Kovalev.

Someone on the Cedric Agnew level. He'll look good and establish some comfort in the new division.



Or he can fight another British calculus teacher at 168-172

Callum Smith! Paul Smith's better brother.

"REVENGE OF THE BROTHER" could be the tag line for promotion.

Credible opponent, maybe get Ward some UK fans. Could have it on BBC Americas.

Jeff Lacy

He can test the waters at LHW

[Sweet Pea 50]

A DeGale fight at '68 sounds good.

At LHW, I'd like to see him against a top 10 guy. What's Fonfara up to these days.

[The Hammer]

Robert Stieglitz

At a catch weight of 173, which is the weight the pampered princess will be most comfortable at.

I guess at this point his best options is probably any title holder at 168. Not sure of the promoter/tv channel affiliations of those guys so idk how possible that ends up being, but if any of those fights are doable I think thats what he should do. If there isn't a makeable fight with a title holder I suppose anyone weighing 168 will do thats among the top 15, top 25 or so among indie ranking sites. He was saying he wanted some ringrust removal so he might as well use this time to take another decent, but not up to his skill standards type of fight while everyone notable has a dance partner.

Callum Smith is hell of a shout. I can't see Hearn throwing one of his best prospects in with Ward though.

Chunky or Groves / Jack winner, and then move to 175

Yeah and the PPV could be broadcast live from the Oakland Aquarium, main event right after the dolphin show. Thats sure to draw in more viewers.

Abraham rematch. Then if he can't get GGG by next year move up.
