"Top five next opponents for Andre Ward"

5. Oleksandr Gvozdyk
4. Artur Beterbiev
3. Gennady Golovkin
2. Adonis Stevenson
1. Sergey Kovalev

In theory, Andre Ward’s contract with HBO has expired, which means that he can strategically manoeuvre himself away from Kathy Duva’s immediate rematch clause, if the S.O.G. chooses to either drop his titles, move weight division or sign-up to one of HBO’s rival TV networks.

Thoughts?

I agree about Kovalev, Stevenson, Beterbiev and Gvozdyk, but GGG is a natural MW, Ward would be too much for him. Maybe Ramirez if he moves up soon....I have to say again : Ward would make a great mistake trying to do something at CW or HW. He must not move up, simply he doesn't belong at CW. It would be senseless to think about HW, he would be literally destroyed.
