    Ward's inactivity and competition won't allow him to overtake it, as said he needs to fight Stevenson or Kovalev. Me personally I'd rather he stay at '68 as I'd really like to see him and Golovkin fight. I know Ward likely wins but it's a very appealing fight to me.

        Its's possible but ward would have to move up to 175 first, theres nothing left at 168

          If he goes 175 we might not see golovkin if he stays theres still chavez jr thomas oosthuisen robert stieglitz george groves and badou jack,i would like to see froch vs ward rematch at the MGM i doubt it would happen but none the less theres some good opposition out there for ward, B-hop stayed at middleweight for years defending his belts why cant andre ward at SM me personally i would like to see him clear the middleweight division but i dont know if he can get down.

            If Ward cleans his division then yes.

            If he moves up to beat Stevenson & Chad Dawson in a rematch after becoming #1 then he's there until he retires.

              A good point.

              Ward is not that high on p4p for me, He made dawson come to his weight and not dare challenge him on Light Heavy.

              Ward has no more good opposition in his wt class so I think that he should rise in wt now. A lot of tough guys are in for him but the problem is he does not dare to.

              Ward is like Rigo cleaning up his division and avoids moving up. Both are boxing purist for me that cleaned up there weight but did not dare to step up and try to venture the next weight

                Ward is trying to cherrypick. Groves nor Chavez jr or pretty much anyone at 168 could give him that kind of credibility. If he moved up and Handled Kovalev, or Adonis or both then without a doubt.

                  Ward rightfully passed Pac and Floyd for #1 p4p a while ago
                  unfortunately, he let it slip by sitting on the shelf for too long
                  he got his tuneup done, now he needs to get back to business
                  guys he's beaten have recovered some clout since then
                  for that reason, don't mind Froch or Bika rematches
                  whoever wins the 3rd AA-Stieglitz fights is viable too
                  wanted Ward to go to 175 before, but don't mind him staying put now
                  he just needs 2 good wins and he's got his #1 p4p ranking back

                    Just from a style stand point it'd be fun to watch, really hope nothing gets in the way of it.

                      Rigo is probably near his limit but I think he can rise one more class.

                      No one on the P4P list has done what Ward did in the Super Six, especially in the third or forth packed division in the sport; so that's why he's as high as he is now.

                      Both need to finish up and move up though.
