Why is everyone on Dawson and Dirrell's dick, but don't talk about Ward?

    Who is the real deal outta the three of them.

    Dirrell is the best athlete outta the three, no doubt, but it seems like doesn't have that much of a boxing brain, and he's terrified of getting hit.

    Dawson might even be the second best athlete, but he can't fight coming foward for ****, and at a counter puncher or his best, he was gettin his ass beat by and old ass Glen Johnson and had two **** fights with Antonio Tarver, both guys who Bernard Hopkins beat the **** out of.

    Then you got Ward who is still fast and athletically tallented, but he's multi-dimensional, isn't scared of getting hit, and is proving in every fight to me that he's not only getting better, but he's looking to be the best.

    Ward even changed his style from when he first went pro to the more polished, technical version we see today. The guy seems like an incredibly hard worker in the gym and has a gold medal to prove it.

    I think I'll beat Kessler too, and that's no knock on Kessler, it's just Ward is that good.

    Am I alone in this? Cuz if you ask me, if Dawson was as good as ya'll make him out to be, he should have HANDLED Tarver on the first fight, and a 40 year old Glen Johnson?

    I mean ****....

    he'll get his shot...

    a lot of people on here (myself included) think ward has the goods to really make some noise in this tourney and beyond. his next fight will be very telling. i like kess a lot and feel awful he had to deal w/ palle for all that time, but i am pulling for ward.

    You're not alone from where I stand. This is exactly why I've been sounding off on Ward non-stop on this site. He's overlooked and underrated. He is the most complete fighter in boxing right now. He is not green like everybody says. He does NOT fade and will NOT fade against Kessler. Ward's skills, stamina, athleticism, focus....all kinds of other ****....is just downright sick!

    God knows. I much prefer Wards style to Dirrells. Ward has slick skills but actually stands and fights with opponents without running or getting hit. He seems to be good at controlling distance. I like Ward and am very much looking forward to seeing him in against MK. Should be an excellent fight.

    Dawson is levels above thre other 2. He's proven against top competition too.

    I agree with you about Ward. I've always liked his skill and think he will win this Tournament but Dawson did handle Tarver pretty easy in the first fight..

    Dawson has proved himself but if i were a betting man ill say Wards career would be much better then the other two guys put on your list. Ward will beat kessler in a good fight but i still believe kessler not fighting top opposition will ultimately give Ward a huge advantage. We will all be surprised at how much Ward has improved

    Ward has grown up a lot since the gold medal. I think he has the skills to make this a great fight with Kessler no matter what
