175 is full of Eastern European beasts, and he's talking about moving to Cruiserweight which is totally dominated by them Andre Ward's first loss should have been to Kovalev , but his first official loss will definitely be by an Eastern European that's for sure, that his fans seem to hate.
Beats Beterbiev soundly, beats Gvozdyk in a close fight and loses to Bivol due to age/Bivol being in prime. If he fought all three and beat them all the he might rank up there with Floyd and Manny as a top 50 ATG.
Man It's gonna be very, very hard for Ward to hold on to those titles or for Kovalev to make it back to a mandatory position with those 3 beasts rising to the top.
