That division is simply too deep. I might give him a chance against Bute cause his chin has shown to be un reliable but it is a small chance. Ward is simply too much unless he shows that in a few fights he has major improvements.
At this point I don't see im even beating a Pavlik or even Bika. That is one deep division but it does have some second tier fighters that they can live on for a while
the only reason jnr has done ok to date is because of his size advantage take that away and he's got nothing - ward froch etc they would batter and stop him pretty easily, no doubt they'll be falling over themselves to land this easy and pretty big money fight.
No way will Arum allow Jr to face the murder's row at 168. If anything they'll match him up with bums who will happily take the pay day to be a warm body for jr. Guys like Miranda, Brinkley, Jermain Taylor, maybe even Pavlik etc. I can see 2 years of such matchmaking then an epic beat down at the hands of Ward or Froch. 168 spells the end of Jr's career. He should just move up to light heavy. At least there he has a chance based on the lack of quality fighters.
The world criticize him for fight cab drivers and now he mention the best the world still criticize him. Boxing fans are a very strange group of people. They are never satisfy.
