conversation with dawson and ward HBO

[SCEN3RY]

haha am i the only one that felt awkward watching that? they shouldve jus did it with kellerman.

No you're not...

I see chad dawson being a fan, and doing his Shane Mosley jitters every now and then. Ward looks relaxed - if one didn't know better he might look high at moments lol. As for confidence...demearor...here let me simplify this, just imagine Pacquiao is Ward and Dawson is any opponent (or vice versa, it don't matter), you would see this and say, 'they're hugging and kissing.'

They're as confident as they should be in front of cameras - this isn't hidden camera footage. still looking forward to the fight, this rehearsed conversation doesn't mean anything.

your post is beyond ignorant.

dawsons is more than an opponent. hes a reigning champion, champion not titlist making him THE man at 175. hes on the p4p list and has a far better resume than ward.

this isnt one top fighter in ward taking on another challenger, its two top fighters in ward and dawson coming together for a clash of champions. a clash of two fighters both with reason to think they are the next p4p king and face of the entire sport.

dawson isnt one of pacquiaos opponents, hes not some washed up fighter going for one last payday or some overmatched contender at level he never fought at before. dawson is tested at the highest level and in his prime, hes got every reason to be confident. i dont see any jitters, dawson looked just as relaxed as ward.


the video was great bcuz it was more real than most pre fight hype. you couldnt do this with a fight where theres alot of animosity, you would need a mediator. but bcuz these guys are so laid back, honest and respectful they could just carry on a conversation about the fight. ward was trying to read dawson and chad knew it, other than that it was almost casual.

its not rehearsed its just that they are two quiet guys, chad in particular. he doesnt have alot to say, hes just there to fight. other than the hopkins rematch he always has that approach, respectful and professional but boiling over with quiet confidence.

He's not the man at 175 in my book until he beats Pascal. Dawson made his name beating older guys but when he faced a young fighter he lost his O.

if dawson is the champion, loses the championship to pascal who then loses it to hopkins and dawson wins it back from him, guess what.. chad is the champion, and as such he should be recognized as the best in the division regardless if pascal has a win over him.

i agree he should avenge his loss to pascal at some point, but even if he doesnt hes still the champion at 175. champion not titlist, making him the man at the weight.

and dawsons resume does consist of alot of older fighters but thats not his fault, they were the best at 175 at the time so dawson had to beat them to be considered the best. he has some good wins over younger fighters too, adamek most notably.

and who gives a **** about an 0? if you are fighting the best you are bound to come up short at some point, after a very long and successful run chad had an off night and lost. but he came back to win the championship, give him credit.

he beat harding, adamek, tarver x2, johnson x2, hopkins, diaconu etc.. thats a good resume, add 3 title reigns and one lineal championshiop to that and i dont think its fair to look past all of it bcuz of a single loss where he visibly underperformed. especially after he came back and beat the champion who twice defeated the man who handed him that single loss.

lol, alright man, I'd ask you to reread the post more carefully before jumping to conclusions like the mature adult you just displayed yourself to be, but you might get carried away again. Here let me clear it up, Dawson IS NOT by any stretch of the imagination JUST an opponent versus anybody...

[-DSG-]

Bad chad dawson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mathed]

Ward sounded a lil scared....both sounded confident but Ward appeared to not be accustomed to that kind of a situation.

should be a good fight......
