      Ward was on First Take after Ruiz stopped AJ and he said Joshua is "built all wrong" because he's "trying to look like a model on Instagram."

      When Ward was on the Joe Rogan Podcast, he said that before he decided to retire, he planned on eventually fighting Joshua. Rogan asked how heavy he would be for that fight, and Ward said probably 200 because he could never be as big as AJ, so why weigh himself down.

      Ward is being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in June, so it would be interesting to see if Andre Ward would actually try to come back as a Hall of Famer, after years away, jump over Cruiserweight, and challenge a Heavyweight champion.

            Hunter used to talk about him going up to heavyweight 10 years ago. Back when he was beating everyone in that tournament. Thought they had abandoned the idea though because I hardly ever heard them talk about it since.

              And he could likely get AJ to fight him in Oakland.

                Wait he said he believes Fury beats AJ, but he wants to fight AJ? So that’s a money grab. I’d imagine Ward would still make a significant pay against Fury. If it’s all or nothing, a comeback fight to try and beat Fury is for all the glory. It would be a turbo-IQ mode of Haye vs Valuev.

                  Andre Ward was on the The Ak and Barak Show, and they asked him, if he made a comeback, would he rather fight Canelo or Anthony Joshua. Ward said AJ, because it's all or nothing. He also said he thinks Fury beats AJ based on what he's seen.
                  Ward can say whatever he wants since there is no way he returns to boxing anymore than Oscar will come back to face a current champion or top 10 contender. AJ is rock hard at 240 and hits very hard and fast. Ward was a good light heavyweight but I doubt he lasts more than a round or two with Aj. Ward said he retired because his body could not take the hard training needed to be in top condition. So why would that change when he is many years older now? Ward has lots of money and a good job. He has no reason to come back now and risk his unbeaten record for money he would enjoy but does not need. I think Canelo would beat him and I am sure AJ would beat him.

                    I doubt he makes money betting on fights. He is wrong way too often to be making money betting the fights. You would do better off to do the opposite of what he advises.

                      Ward was a tough, smart fighter. I could see him having a chance in that matchup. Crazier things have happened. He would have to find a way to get inside/make it rough and stop AJ though. No way Ward outboxes him for 12 rounds. Post-Ruiz the chance of the upset is smaller as well. That fight woke AJ up a bit and made him more cautious.
