    Andre ward, said flat out they had been talking to the Dawson camp before he fought Hopkins. He also said dawson was told to call him out, to build up the fight.

    Me too. :-(

    It should be at 175lbs... Ward is showing he values money far more than Greatness. :deal

    So you're saying that Dawson was forced to call him out? :lol:

    Exactly. And to think these fools are discrediting Ward who fought everyone in the supersix and won it when he wasn't expected to. If anything, Ward was looked as a glass jawed joke who would get knocked out silly by Kessler.

    Maybe because Ward gains little from beating Dawson at 168? Excuses will flow. P4P only works if you're moving through the weights, not if you're dragging guys to your weight and either bloating or draining them.

    Dawson has a history of coming in a few lbs below 175 despite his frame and he's said over the years how he could make 168. If he didn't feel right, i doubt he would've agreed to it.

    Dawson is a dummy for taking this at 168

    For real ..Why the hell would the # 1 lt heavy weight in the world agree to go down to the super middle weight limit ? Doesn't make sense ..

    Dawson knows he can make super middle easily, he was the one who suggested 168 when he called Ward out. What do you expect Ward to do, say "No I know your body better than you do Chad. I'm going to move up to light heavy because I think you might be drained fighting at super middle".
    It was Chad's suggestion ffs, why does everybody always have to try to find a problem with a fight and an excuse for a guy?
    It's a great fight between two guys who are the same size who want to fight, there's more skill in this fight than a Mayweather v Pac match. Stop sooking you clowns and enjoy the fact that you've got two of the best out there willing to face each other.

    Dawsons one of my favorite fighters and I think he loses to Ward at 175 too but it would be closer. At 168= 70-30 Ward at 175= 55-45 Ward

    We will now just have to wait and see how Dawson responds to the weight loss ..I really hope they are able to bring him down and it doesn't effect him to much ..At 168 I would lean towards Ward @ 175 i'd go with Chad ..

    Ward told the world and Bute that he needed to prove himself before they got in the ring.. that muderers row of dead beats wasent impressive.. **** Bute belt.. he defended it against bumbs and took it from one.. Ward could give 2 shits about that IBF strap..

    Go back and listen to the interview after Wards fight with Froch.. He clearly said Froch will be champion again.. Now the IBF strap belongs to him.. because Ward takes on a better fight a proven Warrior in Dawson..

    Bute is not even a factor so please stop acting like the Ward vs Bute Matchup that never happend.. Breaks your heart.. That Ward not fighting undefeated fighters line is a priceless peice of ****..

    Ward is still young he has time to take some guys 0... just because he passed up some Euro **** with a 0 who was beat to sleep by someone Ward already bested doesn't mean he is guilty of the bull**** your selling..

    Fall Back Haters...:hi:
