Ward, GGG, and Alvarez all wiegh 172-176

Ward was 176 in 2012 though and it's the only recorded weight we have of his. Golovkin was 167 and 168 at the same time and Kovalev was 181 in 2013.

 

I hear you.

From mid March this year

Ward and his trainer Virgin Hunter say Ward walks around at about 179-180, Golovkin said he was 167 in that vid (out of training). Ward also trains year round and keeps himself in shape.

Hunter said this not long ago

'Any fighter who walks around at 178-9 - 10 lbs off the weight - is just not a LHW yet''

But that's exactly what they want Golovkin to do.

''Not once have we ever said that we'd fight everyone from '68' to '75. Not once!''

--Virgin Hunter

Ward said this in 2012.

"I am ready to fight the best 168- and 175-pounders that are out there," Ward told ESPN.com in a recent interview. "At this point, a big fight at 175 is interesting to me. I don't want to go up just to go up. But for the right fight, for a big fight, I would go up. I'm willing to fight anyone at '68 or '75."

And again

“People ask me on the street or on Twitter when I'm coming back,” said Ward, who is expecting his fourth child with wife Tiffiney in mid-June. “Well, I'm coming. I want Bute but I'm ready for any big fight at 168 or 175 pounds.”

“By 32 years old, Andre Ward will be heavyweight champion of the world,” says the confident trainer. “He has always beaten guys bigger than him, even in the amateurs. If Andre gets to 200 pounds naturally and maybe grows an inch taller, he could become heavyweight champion absolutely.”

---Virgil Hunter

Ward's 31


“I have already told people, that when Andre becomes champion there will be very few people that go the distance with him. You know, I listen to people talk about his punching power, but I think that he can hit just as hard as anybody out there, and they (the critics) don’t know that. Now that he is a champ, and you include that extra twenty five to thirty percent of confidence, I am going to start calling for the knockout. You see, I never used to call for it before. But believe me he could knock out anybody out there. And he could hit as hard as anybody out there. But the critics don’t believe that. They will believe that when it starts happening.

---Virgil Hunter


'But in the meantime Ward has decided to do some wide-open preaching with his mouth, claiming in an interview with ESNews that heavyweight twin-peaks Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko are possible future targets for the current 168-pound world champion.

“I want to [challenge for a world heavyweight title], I’ve talked about that since I’ve been a kid,” Ward said, apparently straight-faced. “It seems crazy right now, but I’m not gonna be [one-hundred and] sixty-eight [pounds] forever.”

“You got to fight the right heavyweight,” he admitted, but added: “As a fighter, I believe I could beat a Klitschko… I’m wired to believe that…I think it could happen, absolutely.”

Dawson and Edwin Rodriguez were both as big as Kovalev. Rodriguez walks around at 217lbs when he was fighting at 168-171. He looked like a skeleton on the scales for the next day rehydration clause of 180 on the morning of the Ward fight.
