    Did you watch his fights? He got dirty vs anyone from the level of Bika on up. He was a tough, smart fighter. But yes, if you were Alexander Brand, Ward would just box with you. If you had any skills, he just decided to make it a fight.

    I wouldn't say he 'cheated' - I would say he was able to get away with a lot of the dark arts.

      The clinching complaint is interesting. I wholeheartedly disagree that Chad was a hypejob. He was the #1 ranked Light Heavyweight, and was on P4P lists. But, when people like Wlad and Fury clinch as much as they did/do, it's considered tactical and strategic. Which is a notion I agree with. However, with Ward it's dirty.
      The thing with Dawson was he had to come down 7 pounds and looked like a shell of himself in that fight, with the rumors that he got KOed in sparring looking believable.

                Ward wins 116-112. Good fight though, I just think Ward is too technically sound for Joe.

                  He wouldn’t.

                  He’d lose easily.
