Ward. Dirrell fights cowardly.

Dirrell is more skilled but fights scared. If this was a headbutting contest, then Ward wins that.

Dirrell...he outboxes guys. Ward, grinds them into the ropes and headbutts them to death while clinching them to prevent them from punching back....nearly everything he does is technically illegal in boxing but I digress......

Bute is more skilled than both of them.

This is another good question, simialr to the Toney Hopkins one, ish, to an extent anyway. Dirrell is the more naturally skilled in my opinion, better reflexes, speed, flashy etc, but Ward has the better timing, tactics, inside game, and footwork. For these reasons is why i pick him to win the fight, im choosing substance over style, i pick Andre Ward as the most skilled between the two, its a close one again though.

I think ward's punches are more precise, but Dirrell's in and out is much better.

I see nothing skilled about tying up your opponent and headbutting them, fighters used to get dq'd for tactics like that. It's cheating, thats not skillful.

I think Dirrell might be slightly more skilled but Ward probably is better in intangibles

Fighters are gonna get away with whatever the ref lets them, these guys are fighting for their lives, they'll do whatever it takes to win.

Look at it this way, the guy on your picture threw around 1300 punches and landed less than 300, is that skillful?
