    Pascal is coming off two losses like Paul Smith, so Ward might summon up the courage to face him.

    But Princess Ward would demand the fight be in Oakland at a catchweight of 173, and he'd require a bad referee like Jack Reiss or Lawrence Cole to allow him to use illegal tactics like head butts and clamping Pascal's arms. And of course, the prima donna would demand a huge payday.

      Or will Princess Ward want to fight some super middleweight guy coming off two losses at a catch weight of 173 or something like that? (in Oakland, of course).
      cos PPVs have terrible undercards these days.

        After ward/GGG 1st and then Kov/Ward if Kov beats Adonis if he ever goes thru the purse bid, I'm all for it.

          For ****'s sake, Ward just fought not too long ago - the guy deserves at least 1.5 years off. Ward will be back in 2017 to grace our presence.

            Ward will only fight one or the other, not both. Whoever gets him first will knock him out making the other fight irrelevant.

              Yes, Kov and Huck have a good chance to KO Ward. If Kov does KWTFO obviously no Huck/Ward.

              As for GGG, if he could they'd be fighting at 168 in October. Instead we get LePew, excuse me, Lemeuix.

                Lemieux is Ring #4 and Transnational #4 and HAS A WORLD TITLE in Golovkin's weight division.

                And Lemieux is a much more exciting boxer than Andre "Princess Octopus" Ward.

                  yeah, let's not rush him. He needs time to count his millions.

                  All roads lead to Andre Ward.

                    Man, that would be great. These PPVs should be stacked like this. I think Kovalev wouldn't mind it if they pulled it off somehow on a undercard but don't know if Ward's ego would allow that despite the rumor on him possibly being on a undercard of that fight.

                      Ward will fight Perriban on the Alvarez/Cotto undercard, then have his big step-up fight next year against Patrick Nielsen then probably retire.
