You also have to consider how physically taxing it is jump up and down weight classes, which would involve changing his training regime to strap on muscle, then he's stuck at 175 or has to shed that muscle to get back down to 168, which is extremely taxing on the body (look at what happened to Roy Jones).

This is why forum posters get a bad rep. Nobody bothers to think about things logically from each side or do their research, they just start pounding their chest like monkeys and accusing people of being scared or ducking this guy and that. Give it up.
Or he can do what Floyd does and come in under 175 like when Floyd goes to 154 he weighs in at 150. Ward is just full of excuses when he's career is over he will hardly be remembered.
Typical hating mexican...
If Ward is full of excuse then what is GG full of

He was supposed to fight ANYBODY from 154 to 168 but soon as Ward answered the call he got quiet.
So biased. Complete retard. If one fighter does it hes ducking. If an American does it its fine.
