    He did not absorb any clean power punches from good punchers. He knows that his chin sucks which is why he is clinching so much.

    ... and what exactly is a two handed Ward is capable of ???

    I've seen Froch and LHW Rodriguez land some solid shots on Ward without Ward flinching.

    Ward only had 6 fights and he fought a more primed version of Boone than Kova and Stevenson and didn't get knocked out. His chin is EXTREMELY proven.

    Also, we've seen what a PRIMED two handed version of Ward did against the LHW champ Dawson. Ward RUINED titanium chin'd Dawson so bad that he became known as glass Jawson.

    I agree with DirtyDan on Lomachenko. He has all the tools but he's not complete yet.

    For me, Golovkin is the least vulnerable one with least flaws in his game. Ward, Rigo, Lomo probably have the better skillset but when you factor chin and power, GGG is the #1.

    PS: Not to say he beats anyone, I'd pick Ward to UD him @168 but we're speaking p4p here.

    Dawson was severely drained. The last boxer

    was a journeyman stopped in 2009, and that guy was previously stopped twice.

    Once again, Ward knows that his chin sucks, which is why he uses excessive clinching.

    Excuses. Dawson even admitted he didn't have trouble making weight, that he had to balloon up to 175 and ate whatever he wanted. Fact of the matter is that this was a TWO handed PRIME Ward. His punching power was unreal that night. The first punch he landed at Dawson, Dawson ran in fear.

    I've never seen a feather-fisted fighter do that.

    6'1" lean Dawson who fought at 175 for 6 years didn't have trouble cutting 7 pounds ??? What a bull**** !

    I forgot to mention B.J. Flores who reminds me a lot of a prime Vlad Klitscho.

    Ward, he can fight at all ranges with a high ring IQ and great defense.

    If Loma could fight on the inside he probably would be but he's not good there.
