    People keep forgetting that Ward drained Chad Dawson from 175lb to 168lb. So why can't Ward fight GGG at 164lb. I think that GGG's jab is the key, if he could break through Wards guard with the jab he has a chance.

    Because Ward probably can't even make 168 anymore without draining himself.

    Come on? Perhaps it diminishes the win slightly...Dawson is the one that offered. Dawson is an idiot, but Ward certainly did not drain him.

    Would not even agree to 170 lbs. "168 or no fight!" because he knew that he would be drained and weak as ****.

    which was funny to me that Stevenson called out Ward and I believe Froch too at 168 but neither of those guys wanted any

    Dawson volunteered to go to 168 which was stupid. He would have got beaten easy regardless.

    Dawson asked for two more pounds. Ward wouldn't budge. He knew Dawson would be weak at 168. Show no mercy (WWJD)!
