    The same idiots who think Nate or Nick can hang with Andre Ward in sparring probably think Steven Seagal teaches Anderson Silva and Machida those lethal front kicks.

    Nothing new about boxers and fighters from other disciplines sparring together people have been doing this in Asia for decades and in the west all to good effect.

    Well it is a rumor for a reason right?
    If maybe it was true then wouldnt it be a fact instead of a rumor?

    I was just thinking that it may take someone trained with mma skills to help offset Ward's grappling tactics.

    All of these great boxers: Dawson, Froch, and Kessler just didn't have a clue of what to do with Ward on the inside.

    Theres no chance that any sparring with Nate Diaz affected the outcome of his fight with Dawson.

    Also in an earlier video Ward says he sparred Nate "once".

    Seriously the Diaz brother's wouldn't be able to hang with Allan Green let alone Andre Ward in a boxing ring.

    Do you know what i find funny? some of the guys on here.

    You see, i love boxing and i love MMA, I Couldn't split the two i love them both.

    But some of the boxing guys on here are just in total denial.

    YES GUYS, however much u may hate it, some MMA fighters have stand up skills whether you like it or not :lol:

    Andre Ward respects the Diaz brothers. DEAL WITH IT :yep

    "MMA" fighters out of striking backgrounds are more complete strikers than boxers could ever dream to be. They're versed in the use of not only thier fists but as we know thier elbows, knees & feet as well as superior clinching tecniques as well as throws & sweeps etc.

    Buakaw brutally rapes Floyd Jr at Lt Middle. :deal (Using 8 limbs obviously!) :lol:
