Comments Thread For: Andre Ward's Plans May Shift Due To Showtime 6/2 Card

Ward should move up to 175.

For one fight or what?

There are plenty of fights to be made there.

What I was thinking. Someone like Gabriel Campillo would be good. He beat Cloud, everyone knows that. The other LHW's are tied up at the moment. Campillo would be a solid/good win for Ward.

So leave 168 for good?

If he so chooses. Plenty of options at 175 for him.

Why would any fan not want to see Bute-Ward at 168?????

Bute needs to get by Froch first. In the meantime, I'm just as fine seeing Ward-Hopkins, Ward-Campillo, Ward-Dawson and Ward-Cloud.

Thats why I asked just for one fight?

Dawson and Hopkins are fighting so thats off the table for now.

It sounded like you were implying he should just up sticks without fighting Bute at 168 (assuming he wins).

Why does it sound like that? I'm pretty sure Andre Ward's life doesn't revolve around what Bute does. Ward is the #1 fighter at 168. I'm perfectly comfortable with him moving up to 175 and fighting other top fighters. If Bute is real, he's not going anywhere. I see no reason why a fight can't be made down the line at 168, 175 or a catchweight.
