Ward mentioned his intention to be HW champion. This is mission impossible. He would be literally destroyed by Joshua, Wilder, Haye or Ortiz. But, if (great if) he can pass Kovalev, what do you think about possibility for him to become succesfull in CW ?
He might be able to knick a title in RJJ vs Ruiz style. I'd fancy his chances against Bellew, for example.
