Ward couldnt stay at 168. It takes a lot of discipline to make that weight year after year. It was easier for him to move up in weight where he felt stronger instead of weakening himself to make 168. There were challenges for him at 168 like Ramirez or fighting abroad something he's never had the courage to do.
fighting at home and relying on a dodgy decision to fight a fading Kovalev is not as disciplined as dominating a weight class for years
