    Ward is fighting again; opponent doesn't matter at this point to me. Business is squared away, Ward fights November 2015, before Spring 2016, and again come Fall 2016.

    As things stand today, there's no fighter 168-175 who would be the odds on favorite to beat Andre Ward, and I'd imagine that he is the favorite against most cruiserweights at this moment as well.

    Golovkin fans can now breath easy, lol.
    Damn your double standards are pretty impressive. Golovkin just beat another middleweight title holder,making it look like childsplay,yet you tear down his opponent,and make it look like he just picked a bum off the street to fight him. On the other hand,ward is dragging some unknown Australian kid,up from 168 to 175 and what's your response? "Ward is fighting again; opponent doesn't matter at this point to me". As for your assumption of the odds of ward vs anyone at 168-175,I'm pretty sure that kovalev would be the favorite and by ko in that situation.

      In 2015 Golovkin has fought Murray (good fight), Monroe (bad fight) and he just fought in a unification fight and headlined his first PPV.

      Ward fought Paul Smith and now is fighting this guy... P4P best doe

      The guy is a joke.
      Smith and Murdock are no different from Adama, Monroe, Rosado, Ishida. Ward is fighting GGG-type of opposition because he just came of a long layoff. He needs two fights to go back to fighting beasts like Kovalev. It's going to be a great fight hopefully in 2016. Who you got?

        When was the last time Ward fought one of those "significant champs"?

        The answer is 3 years ago, his name is Chad Dawson and he was drained as **** when he fought the great Ward. We don't like catchweights, remember princess?

        Ward can't live off the Super 6 forever. His resume in the last 3 years is a joke compared to Golovkin's.

        Paul Smith and Rohan Murdock

        P4P fighter my ass

            The worst of those guys is better than Smith, never mind Murdock.

                Yeah but GGG fought top 10 middleweights also, not just those guys you mentioned.

                Fighting guys like Smith and Rohan isn't doing anything to a fighter of Ward's caliber, especially if the rumors of him fighting Kovalev are true. The long lay off isn't an excuse, not to a guy who (skillwise) has a case of being the p4p no 1.

                Not to mention he's fighting him on the undercard of the second biggest card of the year. That's just pathetic, no matter how you slice it.

                Right now I got Kovalev, that might change if I see Ward against a decent LHW.

                One can only hope, though.

                  that would involve them actually offering something

                    I doubt we'll get a better fight after Murdock, and if we do probably won't be that much better, but at least this means he ****** out an HBO deal and there's a good fight at the end.

                    Bad news, Duva will probably put it in Vegas and she can't get away from Casinos.... should be in Cali

                      They aren't. They have already lost millions by any reasonable guess from the outside looking in.
                      1. Whatever it cost to buy him out of the contract with Goosen
                      2. Time buy on BET
                      3. $2million purse to Ward for the fight plus other purses on the card (which nobody watched and didn't have a significant gate)
                      4. Another 2 million or close to it to fight on the undercard of Cotto-Canelo. However, Roc Nation will likely make a nice profit on this ppv so it won't hurt as badly.
