This talk from him about cruiserweight and heavyweight is suicide. Does anyone think he can beat a top cruiser?

Let's be real, Ward moving up in weight again is a terrible idea

If he has Tony Weeks he can beat anyone. Not many people can handle low blows and a paid off referee.

Though I think he can be competitive at cruiser, I don't think it's a good idea. I didn't even think 175 was a good idea but he proved me wrong. He's not big at 175 though. He's going to be dwarfed at cruiser and there ar eno money fights for him there because Americans are oblivious to that division (unfortunately).
PLENTY of good fights at 175. Beat Stevenson. Maybe take a Golovkin mega-fight. Go fight Degale in the UK at catchweight. Unless he wants to prove something to himself or his kids, there's no reason to go to cruiser. The fans aren't calling for it.

190 is not nearly as good as 175, Bellew already has beaten a top 10 cruiser and was knocking out guys that had never been stopped.
Guys like RJJ were going 10 rounds with punchers like Lebedev, these guys hit hard, but have trouble landing their shots.
175 is arguably the best division in boxing, perfect mix of skill and power. Even 190's champion Usyk, has been rocked and put down by Beterbiev in the amateurs.
