How do you rate Ward.

**Oasis_Lad** · 11-01-2009, 02:00 PM

D, E & F level options should have been available.

not hatin on kessler here, hes a good fighter

but ward schooled Miranda using pure boxing ability like no man to date has
Kessler publicly ducked Miranda when he was on the uprise again (pre Abraham loss)

ward also hasnt lost a fight since he was 16 year years old mang if that dont spell skill panda dont know what does

even if ward loses his 0 in this tournament mark these words he'll come out lookin like one of the best in the division

u heard it here first

Experience will be gained during the tourney.
Even if he doesn't get past Kessler in the first fight, his next two opponents (Taylor then Dirrell, if I'm not mistaking) leaves the door open for the semi's and perhaps a rematch.
If he is as good as some of you say, he should be one of the favorites by then?

Anybody else believe in that scenario?

Perhaps, but not easy, even if he has the skill level some people claim.
If Taylor remains in the tourney he would still be a big challenge, and so would any replacement.
Dirrell did have some pop in his gloves, while Ward seems somewhat underpowered compared to the rest of the s6.
Ward has all his fights at home, and faces Dirrell after he has been at the hands of Abraham. That may help him a bit.

He's also not a hard puncher, has slow footspeed, and has a china chin. Ward is a good boxer, but I see some vulnerabilities in him.

He is very well rounded but we need a look at him against top level fighter to decide

So no credit to Kessler for beating Ward then?

Typical.

You know what's typical, Jeffries?..."fans" like you who are blind to the fact that Kessler is the one who's up against it here...

Check it out....IF Kessler makes it close or even edges it, the Decision WILL go to Ward...oh yes...there will be payback for Froch-Dirrell if the opportunity presents itself...

which means Kessler is pretty much gonna have to stop Ward to win...because he can't outbox him, he can't outskill him, and he can't outadapt him...so that's why Kessler only has A Puncher's Chance in this matchup...

and here's the real kicker....Ward's Pedigree and Boxing IQ won't allow that Puncher's Chance to materialize...

Old Calzaghe fans....Anti-American Eurofans...guess what?...you can start ****tin'...because Kessler is DOOMED.

There's a first time for everything pal.

And believe me, Ward will soon find out how it feels to lose for the first time!
