    Ward outpoints both of them, Cleverly easier than Bellew.

    I think at LH Bellew can hurt Ward, plus Bellew boxing skills are underrated to i feel.
     
  4. Ward is clearly at a different level to anyone else at super middle and light heavy at the moment.

    i hop you mean Ward v Cleverly and Bellew, as the only chance this is competitive is if they both fight him at once.

    Dawson looked and fought drained in my view.
     
  8. I think the fact that the fight would be at light heavy makes it competitive at least, more competitive than it would be making them boil down to super middle. Both Bellew and Cleverly have decent enough all round games to put pressure on Ward and make him work hard. I don't see Ward KOing either man but winning a convincing points decision over both.

    This. Also i think Ward takes them into deep waters and stops them both late, at this point in their careers.

    Bellew does better over 12 rounds cos I think his team would come up with a better game plan however clevs engine could see him do well in the first half of the fight but would get stopped late on. Id say Bellew loses maybe 9/3 8/4 while clev gets finished around 10th round.

    Ward 120-108 x2.
     
  13. I'm not seeing Ward KOing either man. Just because he stunned a weight-drained Dawson and stopped him, impressive as it was, doesn't mean he can move up to light heavy and stop fighters that have never been stopped at that weight before.

    Bellew or Cleverly vs Carl Froch makes more sense. Ward? He would win too easily.

    that's generous Flea?

    I'd have it more like 120-96 (every round being 10-8 ) or maybe even wider if Ward scores multiple knockdowns each round and carries them to the end.

    This is in a 2 on 1 situation of course.

    If it's one on one then they better have the hearse ready
