    With the big fight coming up on Saturday, it begs the question as to who has the best chance to beat Andre Ward?

    Within reason of course, MW-SMW-LHW. Froch, Kessler, Dawson at 175, Martinez, etc.

    I would like to see a rematch between Kessler and Ward to be honest. Not saying Kessler could win but he did not appear on his A game.

    Ward would UD Martinez at this point of Martinez's career.

    Maybe Golovkin. He would definitely test Ward's chin.

    No one currently in the sport today from 175 and down beats Ward. Far too complete with ability to fight at all ranges with good defense and a high ring IQ.

    Dirrell has the best chance, Alot faster & Hits harder.

    Yeah back when the Super 6 was going on I agree. Dirrell is done at this point wasted talent. The guy is a mentally weak headcase.

    If Ward had power, he'd have EVERYTHING.

    Yes he would indeed except elite level athleticism.

    What about Bute? What if he had fought Bute before Froch did?

    Ward's demise will probably come at the hands of someone who has a great jab and can also hook off the jab and roll the hook over into a quick uppercut. Unfortunately, there is no one on the current scene who has those tools.

    Bute has nothing that could trouble Ward

    Yeah but remember Ward ducked him?:lol:

    Thought I'd put it out there because you can bet a few who actually believe it will soon enough.:roll:

    Bute probably had the best body work of anybody Andre has faced. I'm a big Ward fan, but realize Froch banging Bute out does not mean Andre walks right through him.

    But yeah, Ward makes in ring adjustments better than anybody not named Mayweather and takes a 9 to 3 type decision from Bute.

    Let him face Stieglitz or GGG and this Ward hype ended. Who did he win against?? Frochowski?? Kessler??? Who are they??
    Ward couldnt knock out an out of shape Abraham.

    Ward will duck GGG therefore Stieglitz will dethrone him
