    I think Hopkins had a more precise, sharper, and accurate offense also.

    Used to think Dirrell or Bute.

    Bute... maybe 10% chance, by body-shot.

    Dirrell.... nah... maybe 15% chance at best.

    Funny part about Ward was last night he put on the exact same gameplan you could see B-Hop using against Dawson.

    If Hopkins had been only two or three years younger, he'd of beat Dawson.

    His defensive skills are still there, so he's not getting stopped any time soon, but he has regressed offensively. Big time.

    I really thnik Bute and Pascal would be his toughest fights. Chavez would get creamed.

    Ward vs Campillo at 175 lbs
    Ward va Dirrel
    Ward vs Bute

    I think the above fights are probably the most competitive fights out there for Ward right now.

    LMAO @ Pascal being a tough fight for Ward.

    Pascal couldn't handle a 90 yr old Hopkins.

    Pray tell, what the **** does he have to offer Ward?

    Ward beats the **** outta that Hatian ******.

    Dirrell. Warkkes been ruining for long enough and Chad stops him at 175.

    I honestly don't think anyone has a chance at beating Ward right now. I'd still be interested to see if he can perform the same way against Dawson at 175 though. I'm not trying to detract from the credibility of his win last night but, Dawson really didn't seem 100% there, low output, lazy defence at times etc...

    I don't think Dirrell has a chance. He might squeeze 1 or 2 of the early rounds but Ward will adjust and out-technique him after.

    The hardest fight he's had was against Froch and even then, he didn't really have a tough night. I can see a rematch happening in 2013, maybe in Nottingham but unfortunately for Froch, I reckon Ward's only going to get better whilst Froch might begin to slow down.

    The guy is immense tbh. It's hard enough thinking of someone who'd so much as bring out the best in him. Martinez at 160 lol?

    A boxer against Ward isn't gonna cut it, especially one as mentally weak as Campillo. I think Cloud would be interesting vs Ward at 175. Especially since Ward loves to in fight and Cloud might be equally skilled at it.

    Dirrell knew he had no ****ing chance against Ward, which is the real reason he dropped out of the Super 6. They know each other well from being in the Ams together and Ward had his number.

    George Groves, James Degale, and Nathan Cleverly. If Ward came out of Oakland and fought in Britain then i think both Froch and Bellew have a good chance.
