Who's Next For Ward?

[Ant Live]

I don't see anyone beating Ward. He's a beast!!! But he gotta fight. So who's next?

My first choice would be the winner of next week fight with Jcc Jr vs Martinez. If Martinez win, that would be for P4P #1. 2nd choice, B-Hop. Just would like to see that.

Either Dirrells, if they grow some balls.

If Froch gets through his next three tests, I think he deserves another go at Ward. For the time being, I think if Martinez gets through Chavez he should fight Ward, that would be a cracking fight!

Martinez is closer to Floyd than Ward in weight so think he would take that option.

There really isnt anyone. There are names but they wont fight him any time soon as they are all tied up with each other. Kessler had his facebutted off and the ref did nothing and has a nice big money rematch with froch already sewn up for next year. froch and Bute will be fighting each other. He will fight Magee.

Instead of bringing an established light heavy down in weight, why not move up there?

Because there's no one there. He just beat the best light heavyweight in the world. I doubt the result would be much different if they fought at 175. And the other guys in that division are all a step below Dawson, so at least two steps below Ward. Don't see any point in that.

If JCC were somehow to upset Martinez, that would be the obvious fight to make, since Jr. has no business fighting at MW anyway. He really ought to be at light heavy himself. But I just don't see any result other than Martinez totally dominating him.

While Ward-Martinez would be very interesting P4P-wise on paper, Ward would have to go down to 160 for that to happen, which I don't see him doing. Martinez really can't go up in weight again -- he's still a natural 154-pounder (which again, makes a Mayweather fight the more natural option, though I'm not holding my breath for that either).

Rematch with Froch probably is worthwhile at some point, but just because it's the least bad of bad options. I think that rematch would be even less close than the first one, not for the least because Ward's hand was broken in the first Froch fight.

would martinez go to 154 though??

Either the winner of next week's fight... or Froch. I have no interest in seeing B-Hop fight ANYONE.... nor am I big fan of the Dirrells.

[Majesty]

Either Dirrells, if they grow some balls.

One beat Cancer, you don't get braver than that.

The other one.

[El Kabong]

Hopkins, Cloud-Pascal, Cleverly, Froch II, either Dirrell, Abraham, Campillo, etc.

Ward will find someone to fight and it's going to be big.

[ross]

He will fight Magee, or Magee will fight Abraham and the winner will fight someone

By the way the title of this thread should read "Who necks"

[IamInuit]

Cut thee umbilical cord and fight Froch again at 168 in Nottingham.

I know nobody wants to see it after his destruction by froch, but I wouldn't mind seeing ward-bute. Bute has skills and ward is a completely different fighter and wouldn't just be able to walk thru butes shots and punk him, I think it would be fairly intresting...then again its just as likely that ward would mug him. Hell I read an article over on ringtv that wards coach is looking at rematches with kess and froch, which I wouldn't mind seeing on neutral ground. not saying the outcomes would be diffrent I definitely see ward beating em botg again,but kess was sort of headbutted to hell in the fight...they might make it closer this go round
