    The only guy with a stylistic advantage over him is Dawson at 175...and Dawson might not ever be the same.

    It's going to probably take a perfect punch or Ward testing his limits above 175 for him to lose.

    Dawson? fair enough Dawson was weak at 168, but i still think hed lose to Ward but nothing like he did in their fight.

    Stylistically Cleverly is the style that may give ward a headache fast punches from all angles, constant work rate backed by a great engine, to me the pressure will tire ward out it wont matter if not all the punches land its the overall pressure that will get to Ward.

    How on earth does Dawson have a stylistic advantage over him? Ward has him beat on timing and boxing skills, Dawson had nothing for him and I don't want to hear that weight drained excuse. Dawson is not a good boxer, he's too inaccurate and inactive.

    I don't think he will lose his "0" in 2013, but I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

    Height ,Jab, and handspeed.

    Dawson was actually outboxing Ward before the knockdown...and that was against a gunshy dead Dawson. Once Ward saw he couldn't pull the trigger, he started rushing Dawson. That's how you fight gunshy fighters. You jump on them in and out. Great adjustment by Ward.

    The problem is that's the only dimension Cleverly has. Ward will just spoil and potshot his way to a UD. If Cleverly had work rate and handspeed edge, it might be interesting.

    The style that will trouble Ward is a bigger man with a better jab and a good uppercut(Dawson)....or someone way bigger than him(Yoan Pablo Hernandez)

    Means **** because Dawson doesnt throw end of story, he stand and thinks to much and Ward picks him apart at any weight, he has all advantages over Pascal and he somehow managed to lose to him, Ward is much better than Dawson end of story!
