Ward is the Super Middleweight Champion!

... but, Carl Froch is the draw and Chavez Jr. is where the money is.

While Ward is Ring Champion, he is no where near the top billed guy in the division.

In fact, people are starting to recognize Froch as the main man in the division now, again.

Ward may have to fight his way back to the top of the mountain that he was on. All over again.

His contractual problems are probably the same as before Gossen passed, although I have no idea.
Fighting his way back to the top spot, he never left, is not the problem. Ward's problem is deciding to fight!!

[erics44]

His bellendness problems are the same now as they were before goosen died

Who would possibly recognize Froch as the #1 in the division outside of Froch and possibly his family?

Froch and Jr are bigger draws for sure, but at the end of the day every serious boxer should have the itching desire to be the #1 guy, and that desire should supersede everything else. It should drive guys nuts that there are guys ranked higher than them.

So for these big draws who won't fight Ward - especially Froch, who should have the added incentive of avenging a loss - they've resigned themselves to the fact that they can't touch Ward and getting whipped by him would only detract from the status they currently hold. I think that's pretty sad.

People want to talk about Froch in the same light as Calzaghe, Hatton, ect. Calzaghe and Hatton were the undisputed #1 guys in their weight division for a certain period: Froch was never the #1 guy at 168.

In 2 weeks he will be. Over a year inactive causes you to lose ur number 1 spot in my books

That's why I said Ward has to start all over again. Dirrell brothers, Froch, DeGale, Groves, Chavez Jr and soon to be GGG.

He has to start all over again.

Ward can start all over again and beat everyone. He was ahead of everyone and now he has slowed down to allow the others to catch up.
