Andre Ward is the future

[futureofboxing]

Andre Ward is going to take the torch from Mayweather after he schools Pacquiao and Khan and he hangs them up.

[Steven Adams]

Then boxing is screwed. Ward is like watching paint dry + headbutts.

[ИATAS]

True.

He's like a younger bernard hopkins. Very smart, technical, and can get down & dirty if need be.

Floyd is not the most exciting to watch either and he is boxing

True.

Anyway,

Dirrell beats him.

why you shake your head?

dirrell is the only guy at SMW that poses a problem for ward. Personally, I think ward is too mentally strong for dirrell though.

He's also dirty when he doesn't need be....


I wonder how many flying butts he'll land on Green tomorrow.


Topic: He has all the skills and mental approach to be a huge star. He just needs to clean up his act. He won't get a friendly referee every time he fights.

Just that I can't see the comparison. B-Hop was much more coordinated, a lot slicker with his dirtiness. He also worked the inside alot better.

Not gonna lie, Dirrell did have that kid mentality. His facial expression against AA (When he got dropped) reminded me of Cory Spinks's; when Judah caught him in the rematch. But he has matured though. When you factor in Dirrell's elusiveness, size (He's more of a LHW), athletic ability...I don't see Ward beating him at all. Ward isn't much of a puncher either. So that alone would make Dirrell much more consistent.

In fact I'll be betting real money on this. I know Ward is gonna be the favorite too

[krispy kreme]

He's an excellent fighter and he brings a lot of class to boxing as a sportsman and gentleman.

There is doubt that he can be dirty and rough though.
