Has Andre Ward Got A Suspect Chin ?

[Rantcatrat]

Ward knocked out Dawson in the last third of the fight so I'm not about his failure to end fights strong.

Ward has held a lot in the past, but he didn't excessively hold in his most recent fight, his fight with Dawson.

Also, to the first point, with his fight with Kessler, Kessler was stopped on a cut in the end of the fight.

Sometimes guys have another boxer's number. Styles make fights. Ward has Froch's number. It's not that big of a deal. I would prefer to see Froch face Hopkins or Kessler in a rubber match.

I think Kessler and Froch just happen to make great fights. I saw both fights close. In their second fight, I saw Froch with a better start and more consistent use of his jab, but Kessler had the better singular power punches. I think a third fight would be another terrific one.

With Hopkins, it would be another way to compare Froch's career with Calzaghe's.

Dawson basically fell over frm exhaustion, that happens when you have to lose an extra 7 lbs....

He didnt feel like he had to hold Dawson as Dawson had no strength. People see what they want when they are a fan of a fighter but Wards win over Dawson is no more impressive than Frochs over Mack. It was a watse of a fight.

I don't think it was a waste. He fought a very capable guy and beat the shit out of him worse than anyone did (until Stevenson of course).

But yeah I agree that the weight cutting definitely hurt Dawson's performance.

|Wtf? Are you joking? Are you seriously comparing Yusaf Mack to Chad Dawson. Fucking Brits eh?

[Master]

Ross is stretching it there but you see his point, Dawson was weight drained and may never be the same fighter again.

Dawson was no more of a threat at super middle than Mack was. Dawson is a big pile of dog shit.

Pascal had already beaten him at his own weight.

Froch anihalated Mack like he was nothing. Ward even with a weak fighter in front of him still took ages to yave an impact. Had that been Bika, Kessler or Froch fighting Dawson, Dawson wouldnt have done any better than Mack did against Froch.

[Rantcatrat]

The bottom line is that Ward might have a suspect chin, but you can't knock out what you can't hit, and Froch couldn't hit it. For that matter, either could Kessler hit it.

[Gandalf]

If there was a chin on the loose, it would be high on the wanted list. In other words I think he has a suspect chin.
