I like to Hear Andre talk. He's smart. Aware of what may be perceived as hypocrisy on his part, counters it well. Go GOD

Ward may become P4P best but, unfortunately, Andre will never become a PPV attraction -- he doesn't provide the suspense and the show required for that.
Also, Ward doesn't take chances -- he didn't fight Bute at the right time, he is likely not to fight Adonis or Kovalev next...

If Ward is physically OK, I think he would easily win this fight -- he is going to take Rodriguez from the inside, because Edwin has long hands...

Ward's saying all the right things leading up to the fight, seems to be genuinely confident in his return. Interested to see which direction he takes if he's victorious against Rodriguez, I doubt Arum sacrifices Chavez Jr anytime soon and Froch doesn't really seem to keen on a rematch.
In case Chavez Jr. would fight Ward, it would be Jr's end of career...
As I have learned from the media, Froch would go for the rematch -- but I suspect Ward asked for too much money to cross the Pond and he also asked for the Wembley stadium as venue... I also suspect that Hearn (Froch's promoter) doesn't believe he could sell Wembley for a Carl-Andre fight...

Looking forward to his return.
