How much credit should ward get for beating weight drain DAWSON?

[Catch~Fade]

8.5

he didn't just beat him, he BEAT him.

The weight issue is not relevant; Dawson offered to go down and fight for Wards belts, not the other way around. Ward shouldn't be discredited because Chad was being foolish.

A healthy Dawson gets done the same damn way, Andre is just that good. Ward get 10/10.

[Jack Napier]

Dawson lost to the better fighter, simple as that
no need to degrade Ward's victory, give him full props

Yes Chad did offer to fight Ward at his own weight, but it was clear that Dawson rushed into the Ward fight showing too many flaws against Hopkins. He accepted all of Ward's demands from the weight, the location, the ring size, the referee, even the pay, don't you find that strange? There were reports of a very poor training camp, even from his own brother.

Check out the predictions on Ward/Dawson, almost no one gave Dawson a chance because no one was impressed by his performance against Hopkins. That wasn't Dawson at his best. There were so many factors going against Dawson that night. Chad looked dead in the opening bell, he obviously was effected by the loss in weight, and it does discredit Ward's win.

He got knocked out by edison miranda in sparring

Tony Bellew>Edison Miranda>Chad Dawson

[MarcoHooker]

no risk no credit

I guess that's why Bad Chad took the fight
