No sht, ward isn't a cruiserweight.
What's up with these eastern euro's cherrypicking smaller guys tho?
I think Andre Ward walks around close to 200 and carries the weight well.
No, If Ward took the fight, he--Ward--would use the fight as a tune-up on the way to fighting one of the HW champs.
Nah Ward isn't that dumb. He knows Usyk is the real deal, he also takes jump ups in weight very seriously. He would need a few tune ups ar cruiser
Ward would already be 35, possibly closer to 36, if not 36 by the time he faces Usyk, if this is a possible fight. He'll be at that age where most boxers and athletes don't perform the same. Against someone like Usyk, that won't bode well.
Usyk beats him just like Kov did. America, land of the robberies.
Stop the bullshît, Ward dug deep and beat Kov close in the first fight!
In the second fight Ward ended it cuz Kov has weak stomach, even his own coach nearly folded him with a bodyshot!
That right hand Ward hit The Krusher with to make him do The Russian Shuffle will always be a classic and legendary moment!
SOG ends the Usyk hype like he did Kov and all you great white Hypejobbers gonna bîtçh and moan cuz y’all some crybaby losers!
Usyk better hope Hearn don’t have deep enough pockets for Ward’s asking price, SOG would take that man to places that would haunt him forever after the fight!
SOG turned KOV into an alcoholic and he would turn Usyk into a Christian after losing to the Son of God!
Hopefully Ward learned from the first Kovalev fight. You can't go in there against a top fighter after a long period of inactivity and expect to be sharp.
Because it's an attractive fight if he can come back. Not like he's Mayweather or Manny, old and dusty.
Ward can still get back in there.
I want to see it.
I think Uysk takes him out.
You want to see it because of the bold part. You know Ward would not be at his best.
I'd like to see it. But Ward would want a few tune up fights beforehand
No, If Ward took the fight, he--Ward--would use the fight as a tune-up on the way to fighting one of the HW champs.
Hopefully Ward takes it but adds that he gets 2 tune ups first!
He would not only beat Usyk and make all the great white hopes cry an complain but he would effectively bankrupt DAZN for the asking price he would want’
I think the fight never happens due to Ward wanting lots lots lots of money and DAZN/Hearn not willing to play ball!
I can see Ward wanting a 3 fight contract in excess of 150 million all together for 50 mill per fight!
Ward is Usyk’s kryptonite!

Ward would school Usyk
He definitely can make cruiserweight
But this fight would be only a year and a half before happening minimum
And to be honest , no I would not like to see it
Find this would disrupt Usyk going up or maybe challenging lightheavy
Stay put sog, you good where you at
Why cherry pick a retired fighter from a lower division?
Because it's an attractive fight if he can come back. Not like he's Mayweather or Manny, old and dusty.
Ward can still get back in there.

Ward talked about moving up to HW, so I think he would do fine at cruiserweight, only question is if he still has the desire to fight, if he does, I think he wins, too smart of a boxer.
