Chad Dawson-Andre Ward in the works (ESPN)

[2501]

And this is a much tougher fight for Ward than Bute.

[sicko]

I feel like it is just way too soon, would rather Ward wait and see if Bute wins and then fight him first and same for Dawson, would love to see him fight the winner of Pascal vs Cloud first, but I am a fan of both and I respect both fighters for being willing to take on "THE BEST" which is rare in boxing today

and if they fight at a catch weight, it is really nothing to lose for either fighter, the loser just goes back to his weight class and is still considered the best in his division

I really want to see this fight but not on the terms that it's looking like they will likely happen at. This fight should be at 175 or at a catchweight around 171 and it should definitely not be in California let alone Oakland. I know Dawson said he can make 168 but he would get whooped at that weight. Ward's team is raping Team Dawson but Chad is letting it happen so, if Chad goes to 168 and fights in Oakland he deserves to get to get ****d on the scorecards or take a weight drained beating.

Interesting match up, hope it gets made.

Ohh Damn!! Ward gonna avenge B-Hop!!

[J-Smooth]

props to every one trying to get this fight made hopefully they can get VADA to do random testing lol

this is a toss up fight could go either way....might not be a fun fight but is very intresting

SMH.....I see hometown sites for Ward are already the focal point for the venues. I may complain about Ward a lot but I'll be damned if what I say isn't the truth....watch, at least 1 if not 2 of the judges will be from Cali as well.

Yeah, I know man....I hope they make a compromise...either fight in Cali but at 175 or fight somewhere neutral at 168 but don't let Ward and his team stack the deck against you...enough is enough.

[Neglect]

I disagree with some people. The fight should be in Oakland. Where else is it going to sell? They will sell out a stadium in Oakland.

I don't think it should be at 168 either, but if Dawson wants that SMW belt and feels he can get down there then so be it. Ill watch.

I like your compromise, it looks fair but this fight can't happen in Oakland regardless. If they fight in Cali it should be in LA at the Staples Center.
