Or the other way around, SOG is the smartest of the three even though he may not have the size of Chad or the handspeed of Dirrell. The game is 70% mental like Hopkins has proved throughout.
agreed. the best way to beat a slick technician is putting him infront of a nother one. i say Ward handles Direll quite easily. hes too tough and crafty for him and Direll doesnt have the heart to get down and dirty. Dawson-Ward is a toss up, but ward comes out on top. everyone else, including Bute, is easywork for Ward :yep
I dont think Dawson will, he wont beat Ward with low output of punches. i think Andre Dirrell would be harder fight for Ward.
Ward too smart, quick, strong and slick, for both. Imagine the mind of Hopkins, but more athletic, and trained(the right way) virtually his entire life in the sport.
Ward would beat Dirrell and Dawson. Look how Dirrell struggled with Frochs smothering. Ward is better at smothering a fighter than Froch and has a bigger workrate, is faster and more skilled. I think Dirrell would be walked down and crowded, stopping him being able to do his usual good work on the outside. Dawson seems to go into a shell at times when attacked, which I think Ward would exploit for a clear points victory
