I respect both Chad Dawson and Andre Ward, but they are both missing one thing in my opinion.
A signature fight.
They have both beaten quality opponents pretty easily at times, but they don’t have that virtuoso performance that people will be talking about years from now.
As a boxer you need that and if they are willing to mix it up on September 8th this could be the fight that puts one of them on the map.
I slightly favor Dawson in the fight because he is taller, longer reach, more powerful and has a greater skill set. The thing about Ward is that he doesn’t fight pretty but he gets the job done, so Dawson has to be on his A game, can’t loaf through the fight like he has done with others.
They sat down with each other to talk about how important the fight is for both of their careers.
