What weight would you ideally like to see Ward-Dawson fought at?

I'd like to see them have 2 weigh ins.....so they can party like it's 1988 and fight for both the super middleweight and the Light Heavyweight titles.

 

168...Chad said he can make the weight...he called out Ward...do it at 168...hell, pull a Roy Jones Jr..

WEIGH IN AT 168 FOR THE 168 TITLE....THEN COME BACK IN 2 HOURS AND WEIGH IN FOR 175 FOR THE 175 TITLE!!!

Both titles at stake....I think they did this for one of Roy Jones Jr fights!!

 

I'd say 175 so there won't be any doubt about Dawson being drained.

 

where ever Dawson feels comfortable even though it should @ SMW.

but i hate post fight excuses

 

Even going into the fight I feel like there would be a sense that Dawson coming down is an advantage for Ward. You could say the same thing about Ward moving up to 175 but I think that's less drastic then moving down a weight class Dawson hasn't fought at in 6 years. Plus Ward did fight at LHW in the amateurs.

 

Yea, Ward might have his reasons for wanting the fight at 168 that go beyond simply looking for an advantage but from a fan's perspective I'd like to see it at 175.

Very interesting fight. I was saying in another thread that while Ward's opposition lately has been been pretty good, they all seem to have a gaping weakness and because of that I'm not 100% sold on Ward yet, at least in terms of him becoming a Mayweather class fighter which is the sense I get from a lot of people. He hasn't fought anyone with the athletic ability and skill of Dawson and if he does pull this off I'd definitely be much more sold on him.

 

I don't think it would matter a great deal but both would be more comfortable at 175 so do it there.

Also, if Bute beats Froch he should move up anyway, the guy is huge.

 

Chad shouldn't have said 168. When Ward beats him, people will diminish it to Chad being drained. Same if it happens at a catchweight. If Ward wants full credit, it must be at 175.

 

175.
Let's see what Ward is made of
