    Ward is very impressive. Don't know why the flaming against him for not being atg when he is still young and has accomplished so much.

    He's a big kid had college offers for football alledgedly. Think he probably walks around 180. His lats and traps are huge. Doubt hes filled out yet.

    There is 0 ATG competition available at 168 or 175 currently.:deal

    Being to dominant...you go in the ring and do what you do..you don't think, "Uh oh I'm being to dominate on this guy I better let up a bit."

    Go look at the fighters at 168 and 175. Ward has beaten all of them aside from Dirrell and that fight is coming.

    Yeah but a lot of people get offers to play college ball you know? I'm not saying he isn't athletic. You look at his frame though and I think you have to recognize that He probably isn't built to hold over 200lb and if he can hold it it won't fill him out with the likes of some of the top cruisers.

    I can't see him being successful at cruiser though, unless he fights the right people like B-hop fought the right people at 175.

    Cruiser does suck though. Cunningham is a lowe level fighter and he was probably the best there for a number of years. Dawson schooled Adamek who had success at cruiser and heavy.

    Not like hed be fighing Holyfield. Mostly slow 1 dimensional europeans

    Its going to be really hard for him to match them on resume becuase there are no ATG's for him to fight. In my opinion hes got a fantastic resume so far. Hes beaten the top guys he could fight. But because of the lack of ATG avaliable for him to fight, I don't think resume wise he would be better than those guys.

    I think YPH would be a extremely difficult fight for Ward at cruiser.

    Now, but when he's in his 30's fully grown with about 10lbs oif muscle added from those Conte shakes onto his 6'1 frame? I dont know. If Stevie Cunningham didnt have a glass jaw hed be ring champ.

    Steve cunningham's jaw is what makes him beatable, dude has P4P skills and the heart of a champion.

    YPH is younger than Ward. If Ward moves up it would be a nice fight to see him go against YPH and I still think YPH would win. Cruiser is YPH's to control

    The moon must be blue tonight.

    This is the first SweetHome post in either General or lounge that I can wholeheartedly agree with !





    That said, I think Ward is well on his way to greatness.
