its almost impossible for me to believe Ward can knock out so easily the best LW in the world even though Ward was NOT able AT ALL to knock down the best 168 pounders in the world. makes only sense if Dawson was totally dead at the weight and that was what it looked like when watching the fight

Amateurs will fight closer to their natural weight because they have to fight often and need to have energy, they are not allowed to DRAIN and than rehydrate 20 pounds that would be extremely dangerous doing that every week, Ams fight on a weekly basis and fight a lot of fights, so they must fight at their walk around weights. Thats why Bradley fought so high in the ams, and Berto too, cutting tons of weight would have killed those guys imagine starving yourself every single day just to fight at 147 when you walk around at 170? You can only do that in the pros because you don't fight often.

Others have done it
Chad wanted to do it
he said he was 100%
he said he made weight no problem would not be drained or dehydrated
his stregth and conditioning coach said it was no problem.
DAWSON himself said the weight was no problem AFTER the fight.
You are biased for Dawson You are so desperate for excuses you ignore the facts. You can't admit you where wrong about Dawson. Go back to posting endlessly about Floyd because you make a better fan boy then annalist
