    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Agree, there are some really shit, or should I say slow lard assed heavyweights out in America making money, a good opponent pick could see him up the 'rankings'

    Ward hasn't got the style to give significant height, weight, reach and general size to heavyweights.

    Anyone that thinks he can compete with Joshua is having an absolute bubble. How is he possibly going to win? Pot shot from the outside? Grab/wrestle? Turn him up close? Funks sake, it's laughable, even if he got inside on Joshua he'd get tossed into the third row, they'd need to use reinforced corner posts and ropes.

    Virgil Hunter wants it because he's shortly about to drop back into obscurity when Ward retires, might as well risk killing his man to make more dough in one night than they did their entire career put together.

    100%. If he really wants a really hard challenge fight Usyk.

    At 6 foot as a heavy and with his style surely he cant be competitive with the average heavies let alone the guys at the top.

    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

    I joked awhile back that Charr would be the perfect target.

    OMG Charr is considered a champion?
