    Ward and dirrell, I think both have had fights at 175 before. Speed kills, both have it but not like jones did

    Peter Manfredo Jr. Other than him, no one could do it successfully.

    that type of thing has only been done oh lets say like 100 yrs ago. there is know one at those weights right now that could move up to hw and win a world title.not even at light heavy as well, they dont make like jones and toney anymore.

    Or the current hw champions are just too strong, maybe?

    They were stronger at Jones/Toney's time.

    Maybe Toney and if SMWs count Ward and maybe Direll. Jones showed that even though it's unlikely it's possible

    it is possible if you did started at middleweight, I say ward can carry his skills and beat a HW champ. Adamek, certainly did without the klitschos would have been a champ by now

    none, theres a reason its only happened a handfull of times.

    Of the past 20 years, i think toney could have. Hopkins maybe could have. but not many more.

    A couple from super mid could if they were matched right. dirrel and ward perhaps. but theyd have to be matched right.

    I see no reason why ward couldnt beat adamek
