    I see Ward as more of a swarmer and inside fighter. I haven't really seen him control a fight with a jab, make someone miss and counter etc

    gotta have Ward up there for Rigondeaux

    dawson is pretty terrible but i guess he might actually fit in a list like this.

    I think your top 5 is on point, but this time next year it could be very different.
