So cutting 17 pounds means your weigh drained?

Ward tapped that ass and is the future P4P #1. accept it and move on. :deal

 

How are you getting this all twisted? Dawson called Ward out and offered to come down to fight him. How in any way is that Ward's fault? If anything, that's Dawson's stupidity, for offering. Geez only in Boxing can a guy like Ward, accept another fighters challenge and terms of the challenge, shine like a star during the fight, and get completely **** on by the fans the next day like he did something wrong. Only thing Ward did, was say yes, and then sure when Chad offered to come down.

It's amazing anyone would want to be a prizefighter for a living lol. With the way the fans treat the fighters, no matter if they win or lose or do not a thing wrong, it's truly unbelievable we don't see more crack-ups and sad endings.

 

Of course it matters. If Ward were to cut to 160 to fight Sergio or Golovkin, would Ward be at his very best? I'm willing to stick my neck out and say he gets KOed by 3G at MW.

A win over Dawson at 168 is nice. Could've been better if it was at 175. But still nice. That's all there is to it. People are either giving Ward too much credit or no credit at all. Why is it so hard to give him just the right amount?

 

I agree Ward handled him and will most likely be p4p no 1 someday. And now that I've stated that Dawson was weight drained , I will indeed move on.:hi:

 

Oh in that case de la hoya only cut 9 pounds to fight Pac and cotto only cut 7 pounds to fight malignaggi dumb uneducated corn bread eating fatherless crackwhore mother having ****.

 

look at a dawson-pascal fight and look at dawson-ward. he was a shadow of his own.

 

:rofl

I agree with you in that he was getting outboxed and it would happen at whatever weight they fought at, however, to suggest you couldn't see the signs of a drained dawson in there is laughable.

So what if chad agreed to the bout at 168, this has nothing to do with if he was drained or not.

Bottom line is, i have never seen Chad Dawson floored by such average power. There was not that much power in those punches this much was obvious. Coupled with the fact that we know Ward hasn't turned into some devastating puncher over night. **** me, i think at one point ward does him with a jab:roll:

Bottom line is, andre ward beat a version of chad dawson that was at a disadvantage. his own doing yes but if weight wasn't an issue then why he ask for 170lb for ward to refuse?

Ward beat up a version of dawson that other fighters would have smashed to bits given the chance. No great feat. Deal with it:smoke

 

Plain as day:good

 

Of course he was weight drained. Dawson has a lean body at 175. You think that 8 extra pounds he had to cut off was useless excess body mass? The comparison to Chavez is redundant.

 

More than numbers, it's the way you cut the weight. That said, in this case its all BS. I didn't see any problems with strength or stamina. I saw a problem of lack of boxing. Out of distance, wide punches, same attack over and over, etc... The reason Dawson lost that fight was very simple, he couldn't hit Ward. And his corner only advise was to dig deep.

 

Even if the weight had anything to do with it. It was his ****ing choice. So suck it up!!

 

Some fighters can cut more weight than others, if it didn't have any effect on his performance he wouldn't have moved up in the first place.

Chavez is a bad example since many think he is using banned PEDs to make weight.

Petterson is also a known cheat.

 

Exactly this.
