Andre Ward at heavyweight?
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
Not surprising if he does come back and try to fight at HW. If he does though, it’s just unfortunate because 175 is such a good weight class now. If he could have cleaned out the division, he would have been an ATG.
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
There is a difference between Roy Jones who did dominate light heavy and Ward going up to heavyweight.
Roy carefully selected his champion and I am sure Ward would have to do the same.
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
It would be a real shame if Ward came back as a heavyweight and got sparked clean out. It would be really bad, and so many people would not celebrate or even smile to themselves if it happened.
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
He should try crusierweight.

Ward barely got past Kov and the cruiserweights would be a step too far never mind a real heavyweight.

Skills win fights.
Perhaps the money isn't at crusierweight.
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
Perhaps the money is 2nd to winning a heavyweight title..I just don't see it.
I can't see Ward beating a Wilder or AJ.
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
He's too late for Parker so I wonder if he wants the Bellew vs Haye winner.
Bellew would make a bit of money because of the Creed film..if anyone really cares.

I would have a bit of a chuckle. :p

It is all about the money. Haye/Bellew v Ward would be another ppv novelty fight.
Just when I could not hate them any more than I do, they start doing this.
What next?
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
I wouldn't have an issue with Ward against Bellew or Haye. Both have been smaller fighters and it would be a decent test for Ward. It's not like he can really go up and face the great James Toney or any of the other legends like that.

It's his humility and the fact he took on all comers and never fought dirty. It would be a shame for a bloody "craftsman" like that to be felled by a crude slugger :-X:p;)
Re: Andre Ward at heavyweight?
I joked awhile back that Charr would be the perfect target.
