    not really surprising, considering Ward is basically a LHW and he hasn't fought in forever

    Gotta wait and see if Ward can make it through a training camp without injury first

    chill out guys. He hasn't fought in 19 months. He'll be at 168 the fight afterward

    Shows he doesn't do it easy though, and is far from a small SMW as well.

    Regardless of how long he has been out he is still only 30 years old, so making 168 should not have been a problem.

    This shows that he is and always has been a big SMW, but its a really bad bad move.

    He gets hammered at 175 and the fighters he is now up against and will not fight in jokeland.

    I thought he looked a little biger than usual in his training videos.
    I guess this is why he also mentioned his age and metabolism in an interview.

    He only put on 8 pounds against Dawson.

    Most 168 guys do , they try and hit about 175.

    Also the bigger guys tend to actually put less on than the smaller guys as they dont starve their bodies as much.

    Ward has so many good match-ups there to be grabbed and he picks this one. I'm starting to hate the man.

    You're an idiot.

    Why doesn't GGG unbeatable go up and face the Krusher?

    GGG can fight a club fighter off Friday Night Fights but Ward can't take a tune up after a very long lay off?

    Instead Ward should jump up a whole division and take on the biggest bogeyman in boxing just to please his haters?:patsch

    How was he a big SMW back then if he only put on 8 pounds?
    And its not like Ward is a tall SMW.

    And this is who they were saying GGG needed to move up to face? A guy who apparently can't make the weight at a division above him?
