Dawson seems confident he can make 168. He's said for a while he can make 168. We'll find out in September if he's telling the truth or not.

Originally posted by jsfd26 View PostI can see how this is a problem. Especially in a fight like this one. Why is Ward getting all the advantages in this fight? Wtf is Dawson getting in return, Ward's belts if he wins? What good are those belts for him when he doesn't even fight at that weight class and if he decides to stay I doubt he would be able to make the weight for much longer (granted he makes weight vs Ward w/o being drained).
Sure Dawson said what he said and I'm sure Ward's people were laughing like crazy behind closed doors about it but I see it as what it is...taking advantage of an opportunity. If Ward had said you know what, I want to fight you and I'll even fight you at 175.....I wouldn't care where the fight happened and I'd take back half of the crap I talk about the guy but he is continuing to display the traits that I condemn him for. Until he shows me he is different from what I believe him to be, then I will continue to see him as I see him.

It doesn't that change the fact you made an absurdly dumb reasoning.

and if Dawson beats Ward where would you put him?
Hypothetically Ward/Hopkins x2/Johnson x2/Tarver x2/Adamek isn't too shabby either I'm aware some of them can be classed as against fighters past their prime..

I'm speculative myself.
But, Dawson's been saying for a while he can make 168. Even before the Ward fight came up. Obviously he feels he can make the weight. We'll see.

Originally posted by mathed View PostWard is good, I can agree there but the guy gets so many advantages in every fight when he doesn't need them. If his people want him to come off as a star, a warrior, the opposite needs to happen, he needs to be taking risks. If they can pull it off then go for it but don't expect people to all of a sudden take him as the next savior of boxing.
