    Who takes this at 140 both at their best....Ward had power but he needed a fighter to stand with him if the fighter moved he struggled and the Mad Dog was well aggressive

    Wow! I can’t rememger the last time if ever Mad Dog came up in a thread. I admittadly have only seen a few of his fights. I think he would be able to take a decision over Ward, but I have not really watched enough of him to factor in styles...but I think I might watch some Hatcher this weekend! Good shout

    Hatcher would get stopped. He would walk into Ward and thus making it easy for Ward to get to the body .And Gene's handspeed was that great in fact I think Ward had faster hands.

    Hatcher was a better fighter than Ward, and would win a clear decision IMO.
