    That's not how it works.

    Although you might be being sarcastic?

      good question TS
      That's a bad answer... I'll tell you why shortly.

      I think he can if he can find some ATGs to fight, and move up in weight a few times. Generally moving from SMW to HW (not saying he can but it's a whatif) is regarded higher than the lower weight classes and jumping around.

      His style if it carries through in weight I think will cause anyone problems, but who knows if it will and how well his chin manages at a bigger level. He's still young and can do a lot of things, but looking at the divisions above him, their aren't many fighters with enough resume power to put him there atm.

        Agreed. It's also much harder to move up in the higher weight classes. Can you imagine Ward fighting at cruiserweight? And that would only be his third division.

          You can already argue that he's fought better competition in a contextual as well as literal framework...

            not more overrated than beating the #2, 3, 4 in your division in a semi tournament..as of right now , ward does'nt even have a better resume than nonito, altho it's pretty good

            to you maybe but to anyone who knows it's pretty impossible for ward to outdo pac's carreer , its makes a lot of sense.. breaking the 4 lineal titles alone takes a lifetime to accomplished , how much more with the 8 titles whether paper titles or not....

                  Lol, you really are poor at properly engaging in conversational debates. It was already apparent in the other thread we were posting in. Nonito's resume is COMPLETELY irrelevant to the premise that the thread starter laid down.
