Comments Thread For: Andre Ward is Serious About Doing a Fight - at Heavyweight!

[KingHippo]

That's what the greats do.

Pleaseeeee......he's short with no power.....so he's going to move to heavyweight and fights these gaints......if you're no packing power like tyson at that height, then you're just going to be a tomato can being kicked around the ring. The days of 205, 215 heighweights are long gone....if you're not aleast 6'2 then how can you compete.....and btw Roy Jones did have power against Ruiz....power and speed, so totally different from little ward

chris Byrd was a world class heavyweight and fought at 165 in the ams and turned pro below cruiser....he fought big heavies and did fine. Only lost to Wlad and Vitali, he beat heavies as big or biggetr than them like Jameel McCline and others

it can be done and power isn't everything bro....skills matter as well

Feel like just yesterday watching Chris Byrd beat guys outweighing him by 40lbs +

I know right

dude is so underrated....of course because he was a heavy with a low ko %

He missed out on Charles Martin. There will not be a title that easy for a long time unless he goes after some WBA regular belt.

I know he's talked about going to HW a long time ago, but yeah, today's HWs are way too big for him. Even the smallest HW will have 3 inches in height and ~5-10 inches in reach on him.

That would be cool and retire after. His boring safety first style should help him last against an arreola type. He can fight a can at Hw and get props just for the jump

We cry about others not moving up but then will turn around and mock Ward for being willing to Challenge himself to the MAX

[SUBZER0ED]

Hahaha! Better concentrate on what you'll have coming at you on November 19, Andy!

Fury has skills. Hes not more skilled than Andre Ward.

I think Ward has proved more thus far, I think Fury has more than he's shown because he hasn't been pushed that hard in fights just yet.

It would be a good fight, especially if Ward is able to land on Fury with any consistency, and take his punches.
