As my old trainer used to say "I think he is too light in the ass" to beat a good heavyweight let alone a Champion.
Roy did it and Ward is a exceptional fighter but he is no "Superman" like Roy was.
He's a big SMW though, he fights something like 185. I'm not sure how the extra bulk would impact on his ability, but he's a more cerebral rather than ultra fast or athletic fighter anyway. He might be able to pull it off as a small fast HW, a la Adamek (though he's even smaller), tho' I can't see him reaching the top of the division.
