I think Ward is a KO waiting to happen myself.

      floyd mayweather's inside game is great

      calling ward's inside game great is disrespectful to mayweather...

      im a big ward fan and he is talented but he still needs time to develop. regardless, he is young and one of the best.
      I didn't call his inside fighting "great". Re-read what I said. I said that inside fighting has been great FOR his overall game. But he is pretty good fighting on the inside. And yes, I am big fan, and I have been following him and he is getting better with each fight. I know that he isn't a finished product. Even with that, I think he wins this tourney.

      Whenever Green landed flush it hurt him. I don't remember what rounds, but it happened. I didn't say Ward lacked heart. I'm just saying there are people on here who worship him as the next coming of Jesus Christ and I'm pointing out why I think he's beatable when I compare him to certain guys. That's all. I'm not in any way saying he sucks.
      Ok, I will just have to rewatch it. I personally don't remember Green hitting him with anything that big, honestly. I'll rewatch it though and pay closer attention.

      I still dont think Ward can beat Dirrell in a jabbing match, if Direll plays jab and move, he will win, Dirells defense is the best in the match and his reach will make it damn hard for ward , if he beats Dirrell convincing i might start believing the sugar ray leonard comparisons that them showtime commentators mentioning
      OK, everyone seems to have different opinions on how this fight will go. I think Ward will beat Dirrell. I think one thing that stands out with Dirrell is his footwork. I like Dirrell, but his footwork has been sloppy and he has been all over the place. I think he needs to fix that before fighting Ward. But Dirrell is a talent as well. I'm really looking forward to this one, that friendship won't mean much when that first bell rings.

        I figured you'd be a fan since he fought some of his fights in Chicago. To each their own I guess.

          I personally think Dirrell will beat him. Dirrell is very fast and reacts quickly. His left hook has some snap as well. He is also fast on his feet and will not get mugged.

            Too slow and easy to read. Fights once per year. Signed with Don King. In a couple years, he'll be a gatekeeper with a puncher's chance.

              All of that sucks too I'll admit. But hell, Andre Ward went a full year without fighting too and had other layoffs and look where he's at now. In fact as far as career stalling goes, Ward and Cloud are good examples to compare. Say what you want about Don King, but he is a step up from the promoter that Cloud had to begin with. Devon Alexander has King as a promoter, but that doesn't stop me from liking him.
