    Should Andre Ward move up in weight or down?

    Not saying that he has to do what the great Roy Jones did and jump to HW, but he has to do something...

    Move down to 160 or up to LHW atlest. This guy can't become the catchweight king, inviting smaller and larger guys up to him.

      he's not going to move down in weight...


      in a perfect world he would move up. pimp steven and russian kovalev are very good fighters.



      it's very obvious what HBO is planning, though.

      expect ward and golovkin to fight in 2014 or earl 2015 on ppv. 600K buys, whichi would be a huge commercial success, and career high paydays for both.

        Move up, but like New England said, HBO has bigger plans for now.

          He said he wants to move into 175 comfortably, so stay until he can move up. Don't see him getting any good fights there though unless he flies overseas

            He obviously should move up.

            There's no one left at 168 other than MWs moving up.

            There's a lot of good fights for him at 175 and all easy to make.

              Financially he should stay at 168. Legacy-wise he should move up.

              He says he can't move down so that's out of the question.

                Funny you mentioned Roy. Ward's goal is to win a heavyweight title.

                  he needs to hit the bench press & the squat rack and get some dam power
                  its prize fighting not pride fighting

                  before ward fights there should be a promo on the tv saying:
                  "WARNING WATCHING THIS FIGHT MIGHT INDUCE SEVERE DROWSINESS"
