That's why they mentioned Heavyweight and said there's no money in a Stevenson fight. I can see him fighting Bellew at heavyweight if he's willing to travel overseas. They're serious about the Joshua fight but Joshua is way too big for him. Ward isn't gonna go back to fighting the likes of Beterbiev on HBO for $2 mil dollars. I'd love to see the Stevenson fight but Ward isn't interested in that fight.
    The guy can't draw a decent crowd even when he's fought at home. An Andre Ward fight isn't synonymous with "Big Events".

          Stevenson is the only one that makes sense. Bellew as well. I don't see him facing Beater Beebs, not cause he can't beat him but because the risk is too high for someone virtually unknown. I don't think he'll go to Cruiser to face Usyk, who is too big and quick. After that, Golovkin if he beats Canelo might be a good fight for both of them. Tho Triple G has some unfinished business at Super Middleweight first, so maybe like 2-3 fights down the line. I don't know, I don't see Ward taking risks now (he shouldn't) which limits the opponents.

              Ward should chase the Stevenson fight. Nothing else out there for him unless Golovkin jumps 15 pounds after the Canelo fight.
              Rumors are Roc Nation is out. He's going to Top Rank.

              He's said it's a dream of his to fight in Europe.

                  Ward should stop dreaming. He has zero chance against Bellow. Ward is jr. heavyweight fighter, he can only fight Kovalev again or other guys in division.
