    Ward is awesome. Hasnt lost since he was 12 or something (dont quote me on that). Gold medal and now got the belt. He's gonna go far

    I also think Kessler's overrated (Kessler nuthuggers plz 4give me). There was a class difference in that fight. Kesslers still a solid fighter tho. More on Froch level than Ward.

    btw Dirrell beat Froch

    Bit of both really.

    Kessler is better than what showed up in Oakland. But he needs the right styles to work well, fast, busy slicksters who can change it up like Ward and Calzaghe will beat him every time.

    Too robotic. But with a new trainer I think he could expand his game, he has talent and physical gifts. He does need to make this change ASAP mind, I still think he is gonna beat every other fighter in this tourney, Abraham will trouble him, and Dirrell should as well.

    He should win all his remaining fights, but unless he makes changes, he is not gonna beat Ward. And probably wont even if he does, but he has to try and change at least.

    Ward isnt that good man, I only saw him once before against Miranda and the guy was holding on for dear life and playing keep away. He comes out against Kessler who I always figured for a statue and looks like Superman but I always thought Dirrell was better. Dont believe the Hype.

    i say hype, probably one of the worst hype jobs since michael grant. kessler didn't do anything, he was thoroughly out-classed, out-boxed, bullied and anything in relation. ward put an absolute clinic on this guy, made him look like nothing. not so sure on what my standing is on ward yet, all i know he gave kessler a one sided beating.

    :happy I agree with these things, I'm just not sure that he will win his remaining fights. But it should atleast be interesting to watch:smoke

    :good

    I think that Kessler will bounce back and beat Froch and Taylor if he dont quit after he gets beat up by Ward.

    Likewise I dont think that Ward will look this good vs either Taylor or Dirrell, but he will beat Taylor and likely by stoppage, and will have a tough fight with Dirrell.
