    Moving up from 168 to 200 lbs is a huge difference.

    Ward uses his strength to push people around, he will not do that at 175 and definitely 200.

    I bet he would win S6 after Kessler 1, because he was special, but he is injury prone and is looking for money fights.
    Ward plans to be HW champ, I think it could happen

      Ward got skills enough to beat Crusierweights. I mean, it;s not exactly a deep division loaded with talent.

      Even if it was one fight there like 4 years from now against Hernandez, if he stays champ there, I'd be happy with that.

      I mean, I'd be happy if he went to 175 at the least. He seems content just dominating 168, where he's already beaten basically anyone legit. Had Groves OFFICIALLY beaten Froch, I'd say lets see Ward-Groves. But Groves could always move up a year or two from now anyway to 175.

        Now I'm wondering if he's ever going to leave 168.
        But but but. He's too small for 175 (according to hunter) doe....

        Ward should stay at '68 if he wants to stay unbeaten. The money that hbo gives him for fighting nobodies is crazy

          Ward should fight Kessler in Denmark. He can move to 175 soon enough.

                  I dont see ward moving up to 175 anytime soon. He seems the type that wants everything his way. kellerman talked about it how ward want's everything to be perfect before he fights someone.

                  I just don't see him going up 7 lbs to fight monsters like stevenson and kovalev. Heck I don't think a catchweight will; make it happen.

                    Kovalev vs. Stevenson will happen at the end of next year. Dre has time. Ward has money to make at 168 that should not be left on the table: GGG, Chavez Jr., Froch rematch, Groves if he beats Froch.

                    That's 4 potential fights, all $3-5 million paydays, two of which will be PPVs.

                    The boxing fan in me wants him to move up but I can see why from a business perspective why it is a good idea to stay put for 1 more year.

                    Ward vs. Kovelev or Stevenson now = HBO WCB

                    Ward vs. the winner of Kovalev/Stevenson = PPV fight in 2015

                      What's so funny about Ward not having a passport?
