    Has Dawson ever publicly complained about the weight? Or is it just his fans looking for excuses on his behalf?

    An incredibly good win, Dawson never said anything. He was just outskilled, nothing more.

    No, +2. I would be giving you too much of an advantage if I kept doing those kinds of increments. My 4 was hard to get man!

    a "shot" kessler. kessler shot AFTER the fight

    basic froch. froch called non elite AFTER the fight.

    a drained dawson. announced drained AFTER the fight

    a chicken kovalev. announced heartless AFTER the fight


    pattern there.

    but we dont see anyone else taking and winning these kind of fights, except Manny and Money.

    Dawson was okay with the weight going into the fight. Even if it turned out he wasn't quite as good there, nobody except Andre Ward could've done that to him. He would've beaten or at least been competitive versus anyone else in the division.

    A guy like Froch would've just wrecked him. He was not able to perform at 168, bottom line. He said himself during the Hopkins post fight interview that although he could make 168, 175 was his comfort zone.

    This is a quote from a radio interview after the fight:
    My honest opinion is it was definitely a set up by HBO and other people, too. It was set up for me to come in at 168. I would be vulnerable and they could expose it and he would look good at the same time. That's just my opinion on the whole situation. We could've done it at a catch weight where we both would've been comfortable but they wanted it at 168.

    Now go find what he said going into the fight, not after getting his ass kicked, bottom line.

    He did say before the fight that 175 was his comfort zone
