    Michalczewski and Eubank aside, as the blame for those fights not happening is AT LEAST 50/50, although to me logic says that as the #1 p4p at the time, Roy should have had guys coming to him instead of having to chase guys over in Europe.
    I do hate the assumption though that to 'make it' you have to go to America. Andre Ward is a great fighter but why does he get to have every fight in his back yard. If you're the best, you should be willing to prove it by giving up those advantages once in a while. Roy has become a globetrotter recently but more so because he had to.

    Ward knows that if he travels it has to be against a lesser fighter!
    Why ya think he wants Hearn to make an offer!
    He wants £5million as its worth the loss on his record in Nottingham!
    That's it! Without froch he has no career!
    He can unify every division and no one will care. It's the truth from a ward fans side of it
