Let along anything under that? He's tried his damndest but its just not happening He is a 175er, and if he came from the Carl Froch school of ***** he'd possibly be even a cruiserweight
I doubt it. It's even more funny that Ward has still the WBA superchamp belt @168. He hasn't defend it @168 since WW2
Well Paul Smith pushed for his fight against Ward to be at 170 and it was Ward who insisted on 172. Ironically Smith missed the weight by a whopping 4lbs but that wasn't the first time Ward has refused to budge an inch when one of his opponents pushed for a catchweight of 170. Only this time it was a SMW requesting a 2lb lower concession, whereas it was a LHW requesting a 2lb one in the other direction the time before that. ''I'm disappointed with Paul," he told Sky Sports News HQ. "I heard last night that as of yesterday morning he was eight pounds over. You've got to realize in negotiations, my team said 172 and he fought to have it at 170. And he comes in four pounds overweight. It's very unprofessional.'' ---Andre Ward
