The only 2 I can think of are against Stevenson & a fight against Bellew at Cruiserweight or Heavyweight. The Cruiserweight division is pretty weak in terms of name recognition & Ward wouldn't be able to beat a guy as physically big as Joshua at heavyweight. The GGG fight highly likely won't happen even if he does beat Canelo. They would need to do some sort of catchweight of like 170 pounds for there to be any real possibility of it happening. So is there any other meaningful fights that Ward can have at this point? I think he has maybe 3 or 4 more fights left before he retires since there's not many more guys that he can fight.
What meaningful fights are left for Ward?

I honestly think he's good. Cleaned out 168, beat the best at 175. Just Stevenson left. I can't really think of who else he'd have to beat. I'm down to hear some names thoComment

-Stevenson to unify the division, Beterbiev to have a chance to defend the unified 175lb title in Oakland, Tony Bellew, the winner of the cruiserweight WBSS, and then a wait for a possible chance at the heavyweight title.The only 2 I can think of are against Stevenson & a fight against Bellew at Cruiserweight or Heavyweight.

5-6 fights, over the course of maybe 3 years, and Ward is out of boxing by the time he's 37 years old.Comment

Adonis Stevenson. Badou Jack just to get one over Floyd. Then sail off into the sunset against Uzzy Ahmed.Comment

It depends. You might get a few of the fighters like Bivol and Gvozdyk making a bigger name for themselves in the next year or so and those fights could become more appealing.
I would say a jump up to cruiserweight but a lot of the good fighters are tied up in this super 8 thing.Comment

Pretty Ricky Conlon/Tony Bellew at Cruiserweight or Heavyweight at Goodison Park would be a great event. That would be on a par with Roy Jones Jr. jumping up and fighting John Ruiz. I seriously reckon Andre Ward could beat Joseph Parker or Hughie Fury too.Comment

Hearn said something on his last IFL interview that lit up Twitter with people thinking he was referring to Bellew/Ward being done. Ward said that it would have to be for a title at that weight, but if the WBC put up a Diamond belt and the winner gets the winner of the competition could see him going for it.
Its at 11:00, cant think what else he could be reffering to tbh
