    Pretty darn even. This is the weirdest superfight I can think of. No clamor for it, no hype, they just.......made it happen.

      Even. Losing to Pascal negates Dawson's advantage.

          Dawson gets the slight slight edge though they both have some really good resume's. An undefeated Adamek and B-hop top Kessler and Froch.

            Even on paper.. Dawson's had tougher fights, only time I recall Ward struggling lately was with Bika. But I think Dawson wins this one!!!!! DAWSON. DEC.

                There's no comparison for me... Dawson easily by resume. Johnson, Tarver, and Hopkins over the bunch of Euro's. Plus Everyone sleeps on the fact that he schooled Adamek and now Adamek is beating heavyweights after beating cruisers. Hell I'd almost have Harding over Kessler, Abraham, Froch, Green, Miranda and Bika... lol. If Dawson isn't drained this will be the REAL test for Ward. Dawson looked good at the weigh in and made weight but lets see how well the weight affects his stamina in the later rounds. Everyone Ward has fought has been pretty much one dimensional, can't box, and couldn't utilize there size/reach advantage. Plus I'd like to see how Ward reacts to the southpaw stance of someone with great athleticism/maybe greater athleticism than himself. Ward adapted well thus far but I can't wait to see how he adapts against Dawson. This is a toss up fight for me and IMO the best match-up in boxing. I don't think Dawson really trains as hard as he should and doesn't seem motivated enough at times... I hope this fight brings out the best of both fighters. I don't care who wins this fight since I like them both. The only thing that pisses me off is that Dawson is a 4 to 1 under dog when he's beat a better quality of opposition. Ward is a Gold medal winner and beat some Euros... who's HOF material on his resume? The gold medal part means **** to me since I watched better fighters than Ward get robbed like Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather.

                  pretty even through out with a slight notch for Dawson.

                    I am a dawson fan but i take points away from his resume bc every big name he fought was old as hell when he fought them or big and much slower than him. His fights have always seemed tailor made for his style whereas ward had to fight whoever won in the super six including 3 champions in their prime (ok abraham had just lost but he was very much feared prior to his loss in the tourney).

                      I'd say even..But gun to my head had to pick..I would give it to Ward..More top opponents in a shorter period of time...B-Hop was a very big win,but Hop was far from his best at that time..Ward winning that super six has to give him a slight edge imo..
