    I don't think theres any need to match these two just yet, although I am all for undefeated contenders meeting each other I think this one can sit in the melting pot a little longer!
    i'd actually like to see Ward against Bika
    Bika would be another solid test, as would Allan Green, but I think he should concentrate on Balzsay...

    Allan Green would actually be a better test, mainly cause he has good power and a nice straight right, the main punch Ward is open for, IMO he's a decent talent, but if he doesn't work on some of the mistakes that he's constantly making, such as leaving the left way too low, he's gonna pay, and i think Green will force him to make those changes, thinking about it, Bika would be a better test for Dirrell, its a fight against a sturdy pressure fighter, with good power, and a good chin, but not quite iron, would be interesting to see how he does

    The problem is Allen Green doesn't have the speed or skill to land IMO on Ward, I mean didn't Miranda beat Allen Green in a fight where unexpectedly Miranda had a similar if not superior level of boxing skills? Ward-Dirrell is great, and I think Dirrell will show people just how good he actually is.

    Green's defense is just as bad as Miranda's but he's a lot more technically sound than him, only other nod i'd give Miranda over Green is his chin, also, remember Green was sick around the time of the Miranda fight, do i think it would have made a difference, no, but i do think he could seriously test Ward, especially when he proved that he doesn't have much power

    I think Green is the most dangerous of the three because he has KO power in both hands--someting the others don't have--though they have solid technical skills. To me, Dirrell-Green is the fight I'd like to see.

    Not to make excuses but Green did fight Miranda right after his surgery. I believe he had 80% of his colon removed. He needed to make money shortly after and took the fight with Miranda if I am not mistaken.

    Very good fight could turn out to be like the RJJ, B-Hop fight in terms of greats meeting early in their careers. I say make the fight, and I pick Dirrell. Ward doesn't have the pop Dirrell has, but they are both fast.

    Nice I have been calling for this for a little while. I wonder if it will happen. I'm pretty sure these guys are friends, which might make it not happen. I agree with some of the other guys on here saying this could be jones/b-hop of our era. I hope it comes off.
