    Rate Wards performance against Dawson out of 10

    I just rewatched Ward/Dawson again and Andre Ward did damn near nothing wrong completely controlled every part of the fight. I know people are going to bring up Dawson being weight drained but that had nothing to do with Ward and his performance I give Andre Ward a 9.5 for his performance and do not see any fighter around his weight class beating him when he shows up with his A game like that.

      9 outta 10.

      I'd only give a 10 if Ward got a KO around round 4-5 or mid rounds. But that's just my criteria.

        Ward did nothing wrong, but at the same time Dawson did nothing right. He was weight drained, combined with the fact that he didn't look good against Hopkins. You have to question his confidence, you have to question why he called out Ward in the first place and AGREED to all of Ward's demands.

            HBO had a stat a year or two ago that had Ward ranked as i think the 2nd least hit fighter in boxing, opponents only landed like 22% (I can't remember the exact number) of their punches vs him, the only guy that got hit less was Mayweather.

            I wonder what he is currently ranked, Froch landed just 23% against Ward meanwhile Dawson landed just 16%

                I'll say 9, I've seen 10s before, Toney-Barkley, Jones-Toney, Mayweather-Gatti/ Corrales, Hopkins-Tito, while that was a damn good performance I feel it's safer to leave it at 9. I guess it's all based on ones criteria really.
