Probably would've been a bridge too far for him. At least against that level of opposition. He might've been able to beat some of the weaker beltholders, but I think Adamek and Dorticos would be too strong for him. Usyk would be able to match him in skill, and he'd be bigger and stronger so Usyk would really be a bad night.

I also figure Ward would be losing a good bit of his own speed by moving up to Cruiserweight. Considering he was never really a big puncher anyway I think he'd have been better off coming in at 190 or the high 180's as opposed to trying to go all the way to 200 pounds.

Considering his style involves a lot of roughing guys up on the inside, and using his strength to push 'em around. Like I say, it's a bridge too far.

Adamek would edge him like Kovalev did in the first their bout, the rest is up to judges.

Dorticos could be outsmarted, as he always was more of a puncher than a boxer.

Usyk would handily outbox Ward.
