Who's More Skilled, Dirrel Or Ward

[Spinner Dunn]

Dirrell's skills are impresive, but I think he lacks the experience to be a dominant fighter. Ward has adopted a very rough style, similar to what B-Hop did during his career. He grinds you and makes you pay, and we know that he has speed and skills to outbox many fighters, but he has proven to be a very smart fighter as well.

Dirrell by far

[Blue Heffner]

Andre Dirrell, but he has stamina issues and fights scared.

Ward. I've seen him fight inside out, with speed and with muscle. Dirrell has more athletic talent, but not Ward's all around game.

[Earl-Hickey]

People seem to misunderstand the difference between skill and athletiscism


Dirrell is a little faster, but has no inside game, his jab isnt the best and his defence is all based on reflexes

ward is still fast but has masterful inside skills, a good jab, can fight well on the outside and uses his hands better.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I gotta go with Dirrell..

Agreed. People are confusing speed and talent with skill.

[Mojita]

Bute is more skilled than both of them.

Lol, no - he's not.

Ward is more of the complete fighter so I would pick Ward RIGHT NOW, it is a lot of Sour G****s from Kessler fans lol and that is were a lot of the hate for Ward comes from and that is understandable but that still don't change the fact that Ward is currently the Favorite in this Tournament, in fact I think who ever wins out of Ward vs Dirrell win go on to win this Tournament

I think it is great that the Poll is extremely close though, that is what makes that match up intriguing

Marcus "Too Much" Johnson will be better then both of them though

Dirrell is a better athlete, but Ward has better boxing skills.
