Its at 11:00, cant think what else he could be reffering to tbh

The Cruiserweight division is pretty weak in terms of name recognition & Ward wouldn't be able to beat a guy as physically big as Joshua at heavyweight. The GGG fight highly likely won't happen even if he does beat Canelo. They would need to do some sort of catchweight of like 170 pounds for there to be any real possibility of it happening. So is there any other meaningful fights that Ward can have at this point? I think he has maybe 3 or 4 more fights left before he retires since there's not many more guys that he can fight.

Stevenson, gvozdyk, Alvarez and Beterbiev would be great fights. Cleaning out a division as talented as current lhw would be very impressive.
Going to cw would be more dangerous and less impressive to me. He's gonna be significantly smaller than the cws, and he'll have to cherry pick less skilled big guys in order to have a chance at winning.
Fighting best guys his own size impresses me more.

There's 3 or 4 175lbers I wouldn't mind seeing Ward against. Beterbiev being the most interesting to me & Stevenson is he's willing to take a fight finally. Obviously a CW or HW run could be very meaningful to his legacy.
