Christ! Lets not get carried away here. Spinks would clean Ward's clock at some point. I dont even think Ward would beat a motivated EMM.
Yeah, theres a number of great/very good light heavys that would beat Ward. Spinks, Qawi, Saad, EMM, Conteh, Galindez, just to name a few. At 168, its different. Jones is the only supermiddle that I would pick over Ward with certainty. I'd pick prime Calz over him with confidence, but not certainty. I could also see a prime Toney possibly coming on late, and doing real damage to Ward. Andre would have to box from the outside to beat Toney. Fighting him close range like he did Froch last night would back fire in the long run.
