    Who cares about the weight class.
    They're pretty much becoming irrelevant now.

    Ward just needs to stay active. Stay fighting and fight exactly how he fought Smith. Surgical breaking opponents down and capitalizing when he knows they're hurt to finish the job. He has the talent and skill to do so. He continues to do that I'll watch any of his fights at any weight.
    Ward is injury prone so the bold is the most important thing for him at this point. As long as Ward stays active the rest will work itself out.

      Well said. i agree. Ward would be well served to prep for the most traditional weight class (no junior level) and then do his thing.

        Damn, you're bigger Ward hater than most of the racists. I never sawfrom you a single post about Ward that wouldn't have been biased. Now again, you're crying like a little bitch about totally irrelevant thing just for the sake of hating. Stop it, you sound sour.

          He should move up if he doesn't want to travel to europe.

            Just stay at 172 and maybe you can finally get your dream Chavez Jr fight.

            Meanwhile, 175 and a Kovalev KO is waiting for you.

              Of course he isnt making a decision, he wants to stay at 168 becaue at 175 the Krusher would knock his socks off and if he could make 168 he wouldnt have to make his last fight at 172.

                Golovkin fiight is only one thats interesting under 175, got so used to ward dominating that weight I thinking moving up is only way to fullfill his potential greatness. But golovkin will make him wait.

                  Ward is borderline unwatchable. 'Wiped out Smith'... im sorry ,but i dont recollect him having smith down once. Smith quit due to the nose, which wasn't really a huge punch .

                  As always Ward only just does enough to neutralise his opponent, whilst scoring the odd point here and there.He has 0 excitement factor.
                  The very best Smith was pulverised by Degale and knocked clean out by Groves.

                  The only fighter with any chance vs Ward is Kovalev, and it is the only Ward fight worth watching.

                    Ward is ready to travel to Europe, but he's not welcomed there...
                    ... I guess that there's only a "good boy" who would fight him in Monaco... Nobody else...

                      Well he has turned Down fights with Kessler and Froch in europe, so I will believe him wanting to fight there only when I see it.
