    Comments Thread For: Sanchez: We Don't Think Andre Ward is a Legitimate 175-Pounder

    Abel Sanchez suspects Sullivan Barrera's natural size advantage over Andre Ward will be a big factor in their fight March 26.

    The 6-foot-2 Barrera (17-0, 12 KOs) has competed at cruiserweight and light heavyweight since he turned pro in August 2009. The 6-foot Ward (28-0, 15 KOs) won a gold medal at 178 pounds during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, but has boxed almost exclusively as a middleweight and super middleweight since he made his pro debut in December 2004.

    Barrera is nothing. Only reason he's hyped is being Cuban. Lacey outboxed him.

      Ward could be a middleweight & he would still beat Barrera.

              Anything to keep avoiding Gennady lol. He knows Gennady hits harder than a LHW and a HW since all Gennady does is spar HWs. Scared coward.

                  Ward has been a light heavy for years now he just takes the 7 pounds off to make weight then jumps back to 175 by dinner weigh in night. He hits the ring the next night for the fight at 180+. He's 6' tall and as an amateur held 178 perfectly, stop all the BS talk about him not being a real light heavy!
