No one wants to fight Andre Ward at 168?

[jas]

Ward and Rigo have nothing left to prove in their weight classes. GGG still needs to "clean out" his division, so he has a reason to not move up

No-one wants to fight him. Ggg would be big favourite against the rest of the division anyway including quillin .

Whatever you say redbarman.

Very funny. I probably got 90% green k's but got a red k from verstyle who apparantly has the rep power to make me a redbarman for a long time.

[soul_survivor]

Exactly. On top of this, what bugs me is that he talks about one day becoming a heavyweight

That heavyweight idea will remain a dream, the guy is gona turn 30 soon and he hasn't left his division or his home town. He is far too precious to move up to 175...and yet we are supposed to believe he'll go to heavyweight?

[Weebler I]

Such a ridiculous suggestion deserves no response. I'm done debating with you.

Out of interest, what was objectionable about the suggestion? Virgil Hunter mentioned a potential rematch with Kessler in the video. Does everyone have to travel for Ward? it's not like he's a major draw.

[IronDanHamza]

Ward can move up in weight when he is good and ready.

In the meantime there is nothing wrong with wracking up title defense after title defense at 168....maybe he can break the record.

What a waste of time that would be.

I've really been put off by Virgil Hunter recently.

Redbarman is in denial. One of those saying that Ward's win over Kessler in jOakland wouldn't have let to a DQ anywhere else on the planet.

There's no way ward is gonna go to Denmark to fight Kessler.

And froch wants no piece of ward. He even said in the last groves pre-fight press conference that "ward will probably retire unbeaten." If froch wanted ward, the fight would have happened by now. To be fair to froch , I don't think he should fight ward. He doesn't have to. He can fight Chavez then groves then either ride off to the sunset or fight ggg.

Nelson I don't know why you want to see rematches of head butt fests. Kessler is worse than he was against ward. Ward is coming into his prime.

I wanna see the universally recognised p4p number 2 fighter in the world against Stevenson or kovalev. Ward was quick to call out bhop but he's quiet about those guys.

I'd love to see Ward move up to 175. I don't get what the apprehension is. He actually has great chances against Stevenson and Kovalev. Yeah, he might get KOd, but it'll raise his stock SO MUCH HIGHER.

And Ward at 160 would be pretty awesome. I don't know if he could make the weight though.

I like Ward, but I still kind of hate him for doing that to Dawson. I know it goes both ways, and Dawson chose his bed, but still.

He doesn't cut a lot of weight, so I wouldn't be surprised if he made 160, but i think we can all agree that we'd rather see him at 175.

[ShoulderRoll]

What a waste of time that would be.

There's nothing wrong with staying in one weight class and making title defenses. Especially if he feels his body isn't asking him to move up yet.
