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

Like how Ward said he'd move up to LHW in 2011? Guess he's still waiting to fight Bute....makes sense right?

Maybe he is?

Lucian Bute... He made a lot of guys on Boxing Scene look really ******. I hope Kovalev and Golovkin don't dupe you guys as badly.

LOL @ Bute, don't be ridiculous. You finally found a once top 5 168 pounder who didn't fight with Ward hence wasn't defeated by Ward? Congratulation. I guess you didn't think that serious.
Since 2011 he is sadly inactive, he had just two fights, one of them was actually against the former LHW division kingpin, Chad Dawson who willingly fought Ward at 168 he felt that he can did it but at the end of the day Ward beat him up. Dawson was way more accomplished fighter at that point than Stevenson or Kovalev now, Froch, Kessler also were more accomplished more risky fights back then, than Kovalev and Stevenson now and Ward wasn't scared of them, but he beat them up. So stop this hilarious "duckin" and "scared" BS in the case of Ward! And his other fight was a mandatory challenger in Edwin Rodriguez.
I don't even understand why Ward has even haters? He isn't cocky like Broner or May, he hasn't got scandals like the aboves, he always talk intelligently, picking his words wisely, has normal arguements and opinions + he is a very skilled fighter. His style maybe isn't that exciting for most of the people (but for me it is) but it isn't normal that he get so much hate only because his style...
Maybe he just beat the wrong boxers whom fans still tag him becuse they can't process that he beat their hero easily. Kessler and Froch fanboys mainly.
I also like that nobody mocks Froch cause he doesn't move up to 175 and openly ducks a hipothetically GGG fight and openly doesn't care about a rematch with Ward who beat him easily neither with Dirrell who also beat him in the opinion of most of the people. He wouldn't even give a rematch to Groves just the IBF ordered it (and it was good for him at the endof the day because he beat Groves convincingly second time)
Froch gets pass because he is Froch, the warrior "who would never duck nobody", and anyway he is old, he deserves a big payday etc...
But don't worry in December Ward will be inactive for more than a year so Froch will be the #1 SMW only because Ward's inactivity, not because Ward became worse or Froch got a revenge on him or something like that...
