Abel Sanchez thinks Ward is a 168lb fighter trying to fight naturally larger opponents at 175lbs. Ward himself has stated he has no problem making 168lbs and was influenced / coerced by certain people in boxing to move up.
The Ward haters will tell you he's actually a CW though.......Comment

I think he just got too big. There was an interview after the Smith fight where he said he tested his weight in camp and got down to 170. He looks pretty normal at LHW.
Maybe he could still squeeze down to 168 but for what? There's not much going on there. If you're gonna struggle with weight there has to be some kind of incentive.Last edited by ////; 03-26-2016, 02:19 PM.Comment

I would love to see Ward vs Degale but other than that there's nothing left for him at 168.Comment

Its pretty clear he just outgrew the division. There are quite a few money fights for him at 168, he didnt need to be taking this many tuneups above 168 if he was still serious about 168.Originally posted by about.thousands View PostComment

Anyways nobody knows the answer but him. If you hate him you'll say he outgrew it if you like him you'll say he was forced.Comment
