That's nice, but posting a quote from him in the last few weeks isn't relevant. Ward balked publicly at the matchup when he might have had an opportunity, then he had a long layoff, and now he wants in when the guys who were active are already lined up to fight. He's going to have to find a way to get his foot in the door, but Canelo or Cotto are ahead of him in line now. That's just how it is. You have a serious rooting interest in Ward, and I don't care either way.
All that said, GGG had better take one of those big fights soon, or what Ward said above will start to resonate with everyone, and he'll get labeled a coward. Also we'll know more about Ward when he's had another fight. He looked rusty in his comeback, but it's good to see him fight again.
