We've wanted to see that fight for years. Unfortunately, their actions have made it pretty apparent that it will never happen. Plus, it doesn't make sense for Ward now. Dirrell is essentially retired for all intents and purposes. He hasn't fought anyone remotely relevant since he fought Abraham. Why would Ward take that risk?

Ward doesn't have many options because he already beat Froch, Kessler and Dawson, and he's not ready to jump up in weight to 175. Honestly, since Pascal and Bute are going to fight at the end of the year, Ward wouldn't even really have anyone there to face, other than Cleverly. Froch has options. He can face Kessler again. He can face Hopkins. He could face an up and comer, like Groves or Degale or Cleverly. He could also face the winner between Bute and Pascal.

Add to all of it that Froch now is somewhat a star in Britain, and we're in the odd situation where Froch is somewhat in the driver's seat.
