Why doesn't Andre 'Son of Goosen' Ward move up to 175 lb?

    But I don't surprised haterism knows no borders. On this board probably someone could explain you that Amir Khan isn't really that fast or Kovalev doesn't punch that powerful or Klitschko isn't that tall.

      The way he talks big about bringing up lighter fighters to fight him then completely shuts down the interviewer when they ask about 175 suggests he's scared.

        He only talked about Glovkin from 160 and just cause GGG's teamstated that they fight anyone from 154 to 168. Ward never stated things like that he said that one time he will go up in weight. And didn't shut down theinterview, he explained that why he doesn't wanna go up right now.
        SMW is still a stronger and deepre division than LHW. Who are in LHW? Stevenson is on Showtime + Haymon fighter so it's excluded. So who is left? Kovalev but IMO he will be out of the picture after the Hopkins fight, if not he will be still the only one meaningful challenge for Ward in LHW, nobody else...
        But don't worry, if somehow Kovalev will beat Hopkins I think that will catch Ward's interest.

            "Guys, I'm not a LHW."

              Dude, you have to understand that this is prize fighting...money is literally all that those top guys think about. Once you get to that level, all you think about is getting rewarded for the hard work you put in all your life, not to please some fan sitting on his f***ing couch. Once you accept that, you'll be alright

                I wish he'd just fight, period. It's ridiculous.

                    Ward is a natural 168 pounder so he should not have to face bigger men fighting 7 pounds over his best weight. He just needs to do a good job of defending his 168 pound world title.

                      Because there's two Aliens and a Krusher for him to worry about.
