    Cause he knows he lost and that he cannot bring much more to the table in a rematch.

    At what weight did he win his amateur gold medal?

    Secondly even Ward himself said making 175 is hard.

    Hunter just blowing smoke, Ward cannot make 168, physically, he said so himself.

    I want you to listen to me very carefully , ok?
    Amateur boxing is not the same as professional boxing. I suggest you go research the difference then get back to me.

    He only said that as part of the pre-fight mind games. He went up to 175 , not down to it. :nut:

    Maybe they can do a catch weight at 170 or 172 to help ward get to the weight in he can't make 168 anymore. I think it would do more ppv than Ward v Kovalev.

    LOL you're the guy who didn't understand the divisions in amateur boxing and I had to correct you but you just ignored it.

    Ward fought at 81 kilos in the amateurs (178.6 pounds).

    Not a good fight. Ggg would get humiliated. Too big of a size difference.

    Yeah , he moved up from his career long weight of 168. What is it you're not understanding?

    I'd still love to see it, even somewhere around 170.

    81 kilos is the cut off dummy.

    LH is 165 -178.... 75–81 kg He was somewhere in the middle which is SMW in the pro ranks.

    He would have fought at MW but didn't want to compete against his friend Dirrel.
