He was dropped in his very first pro fight and by his own admission it was because he was trying to be too aggressive and impress.
His chin isn't granite but as long as he doesn't leave it hanging about in the air he should be ok.
He might take the tournament but he ain't beating Dirrell.
I think he's going to be the easiest one...lol. Ah well, we all got our own opinions. Only time will tell. That's why they are fighting. Though i will admit, Direll did surprise me with a great performance against AA until the big dummy messed up and hit him when he was down.
The performance after that equaled the fight he gave before the DQ...lol.
Yes it is and I've been saying this but no one will listen that's why I'm not counting Allen Green out because Ward might get laid out quick im talkimg like 3 rounds and I want Ward to win but I gotta be realistic Green can crack and if he lands clean its not gonna be good
I've been a Ward fan since before the start of the tournament, but speaking from a neutral perspective, it would be awesome if Green, the biggest underdog beat the favorite, Andre Ward.
I keep hearing Green and is team talking about it, and how they think Green will expose it. When has he ever shown any signs of a bad chin?
As a big fan of Andres id say it is for one reason it has never been tested but imo he will pass this test with flying colours for sure!!!

Really? I think Ward has everything he'll need to beat Dirrell. He'll put pressure on him for 12 rounds, and he has the speed to stay on him, which is something Froch didn't have.
I thinks Ward takes the tourney when all is said and done. He's a very well rounded fighter and hungry like a lion. He wants this really, really bad.

ward went down from a boxer that green feels isn't on his level
I don't think he's shown signs of having a good chin. He's been hard to hit flush as of recent but in the past, he's been dropped and wobbled a few. If he and Abraham fight, and he gets hit like Dirrell did on occasions, he's going to sleep.
I have a feeling he and Abraham will meet in the finals. I agree, he'd definitely get KO'ed.

It certainly wasn't solid earlier in his career. I saw him get rocked and dropped by a journeyman and there might've been another incident where he was seriously stunned. I think his handlers pulled him off network TV not long after. It seems sturdier in recent bouts - could be the move to 168 but then again, it hasn't been truly tested in a long time.
