    Dawson couldnt even sell out his own living room let alone an arena and your telling me they have equal bargaining power. Belts dont come into it. If bargaining power was based on a fighter ability then yeh sure Dawson would have a case. However as it stands Ward is the fighter in demand and the guy who holds the bargaining cards, he has the momentum and is the more popular fighter.

    Dawson was trying to get himself a big fight so was trying to be flexible, when they started negotiating Dawson's team tried to work things (even a 170 catchweight would have been ok) but since Ward was the bigger name he FORCED them to stick to the 168 limit and to top it off he got them to agree to fight in his own hometown (again)

    its seems that the truth has hurt the american posters on here. dawson ducked the finest 168 era ever to fight in the weakest 175 era of all time :deal

    you fart sauce swillers are that gullable, insular, ignorant, and narrow minded that you took in every single ounce of the delusional brainwashing that HBO and ring magazine spoon fed you :nut:lol::lol::lol::lol::rofl:rofl:patsch

    Team Elite is a class organization, but Dawson ducked 168 to end up fighting the top 168lber?

    Didn't expect any better. Now go back to masturbating at the lounge's " [url]The Official ESB Member Photobucket Account[/url]" thread.

    Just a tip, your current weight, which is most like over 144 Kilograms of pure Pizza hut, KFC and frozen Fish and Chips, has ZERO relation to a professional boxer at 144 Kilograms.

    Fair enough. But just because Ward has all the power doesn't mean he couldn't have made it a little more legit

    ermm, I had an avatar bet with Drozzy that Froch would win, nice try.

    All Joe has over Ward is title defences? Don't forget resume, longevity and the fact that Joe's the better boxer. Ward's best win is a past prime Kessler, who Joe beat the prime undefeated version without headbutts.


    :lol::patsch

    Scar is a terrible poster! Spot on!

    Those were for world champ fights being forced below their max limit. If u gonna fight or a world title fight at the limit

    If Dawson wants to move down a division that's on him, no one is forcing him
