    They are not far a part imo but Dawson is bigger.

    Ward will beat them both.

    Dawson has fought the better opponents. But he has shown obvious weakness, for one his mental strength, and two his left hand is really not that good.

    Bute hasn't fought the level competition Dawson has, but Bute has outclassed all his opponents, and he hits harder, and he has looked more impressive in his wins.

    Both could beat him. I think Bute, especially if they Dawson does not fight him at lhw. Bute I think would also mix it up more.

    Lets see.

    Bute: Ward, wanna have a go in Oakland?

    Ward: No.

    Dawson: How about me?

    Ward: Ok.

    Both give him trouble IMO, Both have a good shot at the mini-upset.

    Bute would never lose to Pascal.

    LE: It's well known that on forums the guy who gave the most recent performance gathers more votes than it would have done in normal conditions; make the same thread after Bute vs. Froch if Bute wins and you'll have a different result.

    dawson is more rangy and perhaps more technical but hes a glassheart ****** with no real power. I got Bute, who has the intangibles.
