Chad already said that he would have no problems taking on Cloud and I believe that he can, but first Cloud has to go and pass his test against Pascal. Bernard also never had Cloud in great consideration. there were two men at the top of the Division and after a lot of events, one came out to be legitimate number one so he's looking for other good opponents in his and divisions close to his weight class such as the undefeated and much talked about SMW Super Six and its winner Andre Ward... Hopkins also called Hoya, Wright and Vargas in that post-fight with Hakkar in the city of brotherly love and Merchant went insane. The answer was straight and correct, there was no thing such as LMWs ( and in the case of Dawson, such thing as SMWs) some years ago. Rmember that Sugar ray Leonard took LHWT Danny Lalonde in a very famous fight? That's how things go. Coward, no such thing after beating Hopkins, but he is and good that he comes back to be a short spoken and humble individual.
He was told to do it. The promotors and TV-network want it to go down. Chad just needs to go with the money. Courage or fear has nothing to do with it.
Ward could easily fight at 175. It's not like Sergio Martinez constantly calling out little guys like Mayweather and Pacquiao.
Yep, and it's not like Ward is much of a draw at all or someone Dawson can really "cash out" against. I mean even if you want to assume that Dawson knew HBO was already pushing for this fight, I doubt he'd make as much draining down to fight Ward as he would staying at his own weight class for Pascal or draining instead for Bute.
well chad knows chad so if he doesnt/didnt think he could make 168 he maybe shoulda thought about that. i like both guys...think it would not be a fan friendly fight though...i see an issue with cuts in this one. but i'd still watch it. do it at 170 if need be.
Let the 2 ameribums fight it out, im sure it will be decided by incompetent officials at the end of the day :nut
