Did he had problems making 168 limit before? He has been fighting at that weight several times.

How on earth could he make the 168 limit? I'm amazed he can make 175, let alone the 174 he came in at.

Dawson says he can make 168 right now if he wanted to.

Anyways, 168 wasn't a division where you could make money, 175 was and is where the action is.

the guy is pretty big for light heavy - next to tarver he looked the bigger man and if you ask me he cant get down to 168 maybe 170 as a cath weight but even then that would be pushing it.
