Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Bout on Cotto-Canelo Still Being Considered

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

From the moment whispers began of a clash between Miguel Cotto and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez having been finalized, attention immediately shifted to the potential fighters who would comprise of the supporting cast.

Well before Cotto-Alvarez was finalized, among the leading candidates to grace the undercard were undefeated World super middleweight champion Andre Ward. The placement makes sense, as Cotto and Ward are the two biggest free agent signings made by Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports earlier this year.

I've heard these rumors from a few folks but nothing substantial and from no real credible sources.

I figure something has to be announced soon.

Having trouble believing it will happen.

could a terrible idea. If he doesn't show up with a decent opponent or he is boring, he might get booed out of the arena. mexican fans are ruthless, and theyve never shown a liking to ward.

GGG is out of the picture so who will he fight? Degale, Sturm, Abraham again? My guess is he will be fighting Felix Sturm.

I doubt any of those guys would fight on an undercard in America tbh.

And really why should they?

Does Paul Smith have a brother? Or they could do a rematch!

This is a disgrace. If I was Ward, I run in the ring during Cotto-Canelo and lay the mother****ing smack down on those midgets. NWO style. The lineal SMW champion fighting on an undecard. Goddamn joke. Ward's an idiot.

It will be someone within the top 15 in the division. Maybe stiegletz, or devrchenko im guessing.

If that's the case, they should discount half off for the PPV. Im sure only half of the viewers would make it to the main event after Ward's snooze fest.

You know nothing.

Ward was out forever no one beside of hard core boxing fans know who he is. The best exposure is to be on a big fight and steal the show. He needs that exposure. Fighting on BET is not going to cut it if he is trying to get names and paper.

So calm down you peasant!
