    Ima say potentially yes because WARD will still go on to do great things. If Ward dominates Chad, then we gotta problem haha

      He needs this Ward win to cement it right now IMO, but he could still do good things even if he loses and clinch his spot later in his career.

          dont forget that hes a 3 time titlist in addition to being a lineal champion at 175. hes also beat eric harding whos a good fighter.

          im not sure if he will be a HOFer after beating ward, but i am sure he will be one day. the only way he wont is if he gets into some kind of accident outside of boxing that halts his career. but if hes able to keep fighting im 100% sure he will be a HOFer.

            So you don't think the win over Ward would automatically clinch it? That's lineal titles in two weight classes and another win over a P4P Top 10 fighter.

                You know, I voted no initially but now I think my opinion has been swayed. That's a damn good resume and a win against Ward would be huge. I'm gonna go ahead and say yea.

                  I think so. Beating Ward would be an outstanding win.

                  Only if Ward bombs for the rest of his career, there might be a question.

                    A win over Ward no question have to make people stop and reflect on a pretty impressive RESUME despite people complaining about him fight old guys

                    but he is in a Win/Win situation because if he lose then most will just say "HE WAS OUT OF HIS WEIGHT CLASS" which would be TRUE
