By Scott Gilfoid: Two time light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson was speaking a lot of truth on Eastsideboxing’s On The Ropes Boxing Radio program today. Dawson gave his views on who he sees as the best fighters in the Super Six tournament, and made it clear that he sees WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward as the winner of the Super Six.
Dawson, who has a great eye for talent, also had some kind praise for Andre Dirrell, saying the two of them had great sparng sessions in the past, and putting Dirrell along with Ward as the best of the Super Six fighters.
Here’s what Dawson had to say about the Super Six tournament group:
“I mean you got to say Ward. Andre Ward, I think is the most talented. He’s definitely the most talented. I don’t know what’s going on with Dirrell but we had some great sparring sessions and Dirrell is a hell of a fighter. Froch? I’m not too big on Froch. He’s got that awkward style. I mean I definitely think Dirrell and Andre Ward are the most talented from that whole group.”
I totally agree with Mr. Dawson. He knows what he’s talking about. Dirrell and Ward are by far the most talented of that group. Glen Johnson has some talent too, but he’s not blazing fast and doesn’t have the silky moves like Dirrell and Ward. Those two are like watching stars from another level coming down to a lower tier to dazzle the limited fighters.
Dirrell would be right there in the semifinals with Ward had he not been injured by Arthur Abraham last year. Dirrell is still destined for greatness as soon as he recovers from his injury. He’s got to make his mark on the super middleweight division and it’s going to be something to see.
