    I personally think it should be at 168, just like Ward should fight Kovalev at 175.

    Golovkin ought to be ashamed. Such a bully picking on poor Lil Dre.

    Lil Dre once fought Tim Bradley in the amateurs, you know!

    Ward dragged dawson down in weight below remember?

    Golovkin is the A side and IF he wants he can use the catchweight

    Ward didn't drag Dawson down anything, Dawson called Ward out after he beat Bernard Hopkins and said he would fight Ward at 168.

    Team Glovbum should be ashamed. They know Ward hasn't yet fully adjusted back into the weight so they want to suck him down even furhter:-(

    Dawson later claimed he was told to say that, for whatever that's worth. HBO was, according to Dawson, the driving force behind the fight happening at 168.

    If Dawson didn't believe he could make 168, he shouldn't have succumbed to peer pressure.

    Silence pipsqueak. Lots of people thought Dawson was going to beat Ward. Excuses always come rolling in when you take a schooling. And didn't you retire from these parts?

    Golovkin said he'll fight anyone from 154-168. He's already tried to make two fights at 168. There's no need for a catch weight.

    Even so, It wasn't Ward who made him come down it was HBO.
