Froch and Kessler were better wins, IMO. The Dawson fight should have been at a catchweight.

How much credit should ward get for beating weight drain DAWSON?

Ward had everything his way that night.
Poor management on Shaw's part.
5/10
A catchweight would've been fair... 172lbs

Ward gets little credit. I wo
nt give him full credit until he faces an american slick boxer like either one of the dirrell brothers. Dawson has no heart and poor conditioning.

At 175 Dawson woulda been Ward's career best win.

Ward put on a good performance that night. Ward beat a fighter that has the potential to be great, but hasn't been impressive in a while. Dawson fought outside of his weight class, but do I think he was weight drained? No. We saw what Johnson was able to do to him in their first meeting, so it's no surprise what Ward, being younger and quicker on his feet was able to do.

It wasn't just the weight, there was a lot of factors against Dawson going into the fight. That wasn't Dawson at his best, that was Dawson at his worst.
