    What do you think?

    Ward has said he's looking for any big fight at 168 or 175. All the big names are tired up at 168 through the year.

    Maybe he could land a big fight with Dawson late in the year?

    It would be close, I'm not sure how much of a difference Dawson's size will make. But Ward has more skill and will find a way to get a decision.

    Ive got Dawson to win this one, very interesting fight.

    Ward, Dawson, Bute, Kessler, Froch, B-Hop could fight each other in the next year. Alle very good match ups.

    But Dawson vs Ward would be a super fight.

    As much as I like both guys personally, I think this is a guaranteed 12 round fight a lot of fans find boring. That said, Ward has the bulldog, going to win somehow attitude that I think Dawson lacks a bit.

    Ward by close decision in a very technical fight.

    From what Dawson showed us since his defeat with Pascal didnt impress me at all. Ward should win this in a clear UD.

    50-50 fight, Ward will need to show his versatility to win this one.

    Dawson by close decision

    Ward's never fought above 168, and Dawson has to beat the lineal champ in a couple weeks, so difficult to say.

    Gun to my head, I'm answering Chad Dawson all day.

    - a focused Dawson would be a hard fight for Ward.

    Dawson by shocking upset. Ward takes apart stationary Euro-style fighters and sluggers (aka Green and Bika). A slick fighter with movement, speed, height, reach and world class skills will be his undoing. Ya heard it hear first. Not that this fight will ever happen, of course.

    True, but they weren't tied up earlier in the year.

    Andre avoided Bute till after he signed a two fight deal and then complained that Bute was no longer available.


    I'd watch.

    I'd favour Dawson slightly.

    I've continually said this, Dawson is a potential nightmare for
    anyone under heavyweight.

    Dawson UD.
