In your dreams. GGG beats Ward soundly, and as Ward would not consider dropping to 164 to secure a fight with GGG, Ward has as much as admitted that he needs everything he's got (including a significant weight advantage) to have a chance against GGG. Essentially, Ward has done nothing in the ring for the last 23 months. If he had agreed to the catchweight of 164, he could have had his best chance at reclaiming his status as a legit pound for pound fighter if he beat GGG. Since he didn't, Ward's status is built on memories, and anybody who sees it at anything more after such a long layoff is dreaming.
Status built on memories is still miles ahead of status built on nothing. Ward beats ggg. Team ggg knows this, that is why they insisted on a catch weight Ward can't physically make.
