    Dawson, Bute is very 1 diemensional, relies too much on the left hand & is slower then Ward.

    Dawson is taller, arguably as fast or faster, stronger & bigger then Ward.

    Dawson beats him as well, you won't see Ward having his way on the inside, Dawson pushes off his oppenents & i think Dawson style can cause Ward trouble in the middle of the ring.

    I'm not sold on Dawson. He lacks the killer instinct and is just to tinid in the ring. Ward would out work him and win a UD. Bute is more active and isn't afraid to go for It. Plus he can crack. Dawson is crazy talented but lacks the mental aspect. All around I'd go with bute

    1 dimensional Bute? Wtf? Dwyer just said "guys like Bute and Andre Ward you can't find in the ring!" And Bute hits hard.
    But it is hard to pick, these 3 are in my opinion the best from the world.

    So I voted with both Dawson and Bute.

    But I know, the American school of boxing is the best from the world. And the afro Americans proved they are the most talented boxers, since Ali, Frazier, Foreman, etc. or Roy Jones, Mosley, Hopkins, Mayweather, Ward and Dawson most recently.

    Dawson and Ward are something that Bute didn't meet yet. Edison Miranda was not first tier.

    Whoever is the bigger payday - the other guy is the greater threat.

    I say that because both guys are a big challenge IMO.

    I think Dawson is a threat, but him being African American has nothing to do with it, I don't think Ward will have problems with that.

    I think Dawson beats Pascal in a rematch, not to mention it's pretty damn hard to lay a beating on Hopkins. Nobody looks good fighting him, a decison is as good as it gets. I saw some good things from Dawson the last time out so I will add to my first and very vague post and say Dawson is the more dangerous fighter.

    Ward can't possibly be "afraid" of Bute if he accepts Dawson's challenge, Ward must be going for broke and setting up a big showdown with Bute provided he (Bute) beats Froch.
    Either that or both Dawson and Ward finally have some hype on their side and would do quite well fighting eachother.
