    To me this fight is soo even it's not even funny. Both of these fighters have an inch to the same styles of being slick fighters that love to clinch way too much and nail a sneaker straight right hands. And both love using their heads like a third weapon. It will be an ugly fight but for some reason i would love to see this fight. If i have to choose, i'll pick Hopkins by ud.

    Even now i'd definitely favour Hopkins over Ward.

    And that's not cause i'm not sold on Ward, I just don't think he has enough tools or experience to beat Hopkins.

    But Hopkins hasn't face a fighter that is slick as Ward before. Ward style could give Hopkins trouble but it's still an "even" fight cause of styles.

    And if there's any fighter that can match Hopkins dirty style, it's easily Ward. Yes Hopkins have experience but sometimes that won't work. Mosley has way more expereince then Cotto but Cotto beat Mosley.

    Hopkins would school the hometown billygoat. Nothing slick about Andre Ward he's overhyped and underwhelming.

    Yea he is. He has inch to the same style like Hopkins. Ward is a dirty slick fighter. I dont like Ward but he has the style that could give Hopkins trouble.

    I'd say Calzaghe and the Taylor Hopkins fought are slicker. This would be a close fight, I think Hopkins would probly win and get robbed though. I actually think Ward's dirty tactics would work in Hopkins favour in this one because Hopkins is much better with those sly head butts. Ward only gets away with it because he fights in Oakland. Hopkins is basically a much better version of Bika. The score card for Ward Bika was a joke, how did one judge score every round to Ward? Ward only has to make it close Oakland.
