    This.

    I don't know why people like to change history, like one can't just google everything that happened.

    They said this, then they said Ward drained Dawson. Both times, Wards name was mentioned first. But both times, it is changed to "Ward did this" and "Ward called out that person".

If Dawson REALLY wanted to fight at 168 tho he wouldnt had proposed a catchweight during negotiations.

      Ward is fighting in his hometown and at his weight class. Forget the belts. It's obvious Dawson don't care about those cause at 170 Ward's belt wouldnt had been on the line.

      seems like you just have a problem with ward.dawson didn't have to call ward out let alone at 168 so thats on dawson
      Actually, i don't have a problem with Ward. People here will tell you the fighters i have a problem with and Ward is not one of them. To tell you the truth tho, I'm becoming less fond of him. Dude wants to be the best and P4P but can't fight out of Oakland cause nobody knows him.

      Do you guys really think this fight would be happening right now if Dawson said "Ward come fight me"? No weights mentioned. I don't think so... But maybe I'm being bias.

        Im not trying to change anything around bro. I don't remember Martinez calling out Ward. I just remember Martinez winning and right afterwards Ward tweeting some **** like "let's fight." And that's when DiBella came out saying Martinez is a small MW and a fight with Ward was probably not possible.

          sounds like a contradiction to me.honestly what difference does it make where the fight is? maybe ward should have some fights outside of oakland but at the same time he is the one with the leverage thats what happends when you beat everyone that is put in front of you and when you are fighting the best in your division.
          what do you mean by your last statement?no one was asking for a ward-dawson fight so who would of really cared? should pacquiao fight sergio martinez at 160 because sergio would rather fight at 160?dawson said i will fight at 168 so he should fight at 168 or shut up no one forced him to call out ward at 168

              Contradiction? How so? Cause I said Im becoming LESS fond of him? I guess...

              So Dawson has no leverage because.....?

              Him as well has cleared out his division except for Pascal who is already scheduled to fight and that first fight was straight up bs. My last statement was a simple question, if Dawson had called out Ward without any weights being mentioned would this fight be happening right now? And I said I don't think it would be happening cause the dude is not even willing to budge 2 lbs. I bet you it would be easier for Ward to put on those 2 lbs than it is for Dawson to lose 7.

                No, both are small, Ward was the smallest dude in the super 6, more so than Abraham.
