Loving ward at the moment. He fights anyone at super middle even with a broken hand he fought froch and never pulls out of fights!
I think dirrel would be interesting to see how ward deals with that style. Ward should win in the end but i would like to see it.
Some might say ward is boring but he comes across very well and he has a great team behind him and is definately p4p number 2 behind floyd.
Would be boring as dirrell has no heart. Is a one trick pony and can't sell. I would rather see ward move up in weight and go for Dawson again.
Dawson has lost the mental edge. He wont beat ward at any weight.
Dawson will come back again. Can we blame the varied trainers?
Ward had a broken hand?
Left hand broken in two places before the froch fight.Quote:

Hmmm Ill go with the one with the captial A in the name. Ward
Andre fraud
Ward fights ugly but gets the win, it may not be to everyone's taste very much like watching Hopkins,
other than a little more action. People call Hopkins a great as they will Ward, not to my taste shit to
watch both of them. They remind me a floater in the pan, you don't like the look of it but they are
very difficult to flush.;D
How can you say Ward wasn't good to watch last night?
Whether it was due to the weight or Chad's mental focus...or heck, maybe Ward just is THAT good. Either way he put on a pretty exciting clinic last night and I have by no means been his biggest advocate.
Sorry if he was gold dipped, ugly is ugly I NO WHAT I LIKE, shit with sugar on is not to my taste.;DQuote:

Very ironic coming from a Calzaghe fan to say you don't like ugly fighting styles but whateverQuote:

I was very impressed with him vs Froch, Abraham and his comeback fight. He could be a p4p if his head is still right..but Ward is not ducking him, don't be silly.Quote:

The best super middle, there has ever been, O I forgot he stepped up to light HW as well , I can't recall any one coming down in weight to face him. CAN YOU.!;)Quote:

Always remember, roy jones junior beats jc 10 out 10 prime for prime and so does glen johnson..lol
well, when a fighter says he can make 168, then why not say lets fight at 168.Quote:

I would expect Ward to put on a similar performance vs Dawson at 175. The weight drop didn't seem to be the issue - it looked like a pure difference in skill. Ward just controlled him.
Dirrell was in the Super 6, even though he quit before the end of the series. Ward has alot of fights between 168 and 154 he can surely take. Dirrell, rematch Abraham, go back again with Kessler, even fight a very exposed Lucian Bute. Heck, even a Hopkins fight can be a good thing.Quote:

But, he should fight Dirrell. Alls I'm saying is that there was no need to take the Dawson fight, especially for Dawson- hime having to come down in weight!
Dirrell is the best out of a weak crop of options, although I agree with Rocco that Dirrell hasn't done anything to deserve it. Maybe he takes care of a mandatory in Oakland while Dirrell beats someone of note, and they build the fight a bit.

I don't buy that ward had a broken hand! Ppl go on about Ward as if he has discovered relativity theory of the sweet science or summat!
Ward NEVER fights outside the US.You see what happens to fighters like Bute if they leave homesoil!!
For sure Froch would give him by far more problems in Nottingham, no doubt about that. I mean who is dawson @ 168? Bute would have beaten that version! It's not like dawaons a pressure fighter is it!
Id like to see pascal v ward.
Bloody hell. No one said ward is the next roy jones or second coming. He just happens to be winning and winning well. Give the guy some props!
Dawson wanted this!
Dawson is taller, bigger, longer reach, more pro experience, southpaw and comfy at the weight..
Update: Andre Ward said recently in an interview that Andre Dirrell has not earned a fight with him and needs a few more wins before he even gets on his radar. Where does Ward go next?
:DNot if I was reffing.Quote:

:( Alas its a cheap and popular name thrown around all too loosely these days.
Interesting style match up between friends and that's probably why they have never seen each other.Anthony, Andres brother was Wards mandatory prior to Dawson. Was that an injury or something I cant remember? Way different natural southpaw with that kind of speed then say Dawson is Andre. They almost seem to be avoiding each other.
I got Dirrell should they ever meet.
Technically Eubank was coming down in weight ;DQuote:
