    Cut Canelo some slack, he is still young.

    Ward will probably be a cruiser weight the next time he fights.

    Oh yeah, dragging bums from SMW (Smith, Murdock, Brandt) to LHW is such a bal.lsy move. I am trying to imagine how much love GGG would get, if he fought top 30 middleweights at SMW?

    I bet he is already studying boxrec LHW ratings between positions 30 and 60 :lol:

    Will he still have to have the same amount of tuneups?

    I think HBO will force him to find courage to fight a real LHW if he wants to headline a card. Of course, he would need to give a LHW opponent at least a 6 weeks notice or they will not be able to make 175.

    Calzaghe didn't use any tuneups before moving up in weight and taking on the champ. Why can't Ward be a true champ like Joe :think

    Rodriguez (170) and Smith(176) both missed weight so Ward has fought 2 LHW in his last 2 fights weight wise.

    Ward enters the ring at 190? I doubt that very much.

    do you have a source?

    according to this* Ward's weight against Chad Dawson was 176.
