David might score a knockdown

169 pounds for GGG? But that's too big for the on average 165 pound Cotto though.

Interesting. Both are coming in as light heavyweights on fight day.

Golovkin will only face Ward at 164, doe.

yea and ward comes into a SM as a CW

[nacho daddy]

I deleted my post bruh I was wrong lmao.

I don't agree with GGG saying he will fight Ward at 164 though, its some BS.

did you agree when ward drained dawson down?

Dawson offered to go to 168 himself.

Ward didn't make him do that.

"I’m still eating. I told everyone I could make 168. I wasn’t saying it to sell a fight, I was saying it because I can do it. We have talked about moving to 168 for the last few years. When I finally had the opportunity to do it, I did it.”

Out of respect to Froch and his marketability in UK we never asked for a catchweight, always clear at 168 with Eddie https://t.co/WCQRv0DQbm

If Ward got active and increased his own marketability they would respect that by fighting him at 168 too. They're not going to do it for peanuts though.

I mean - doe.

I say dawson needed the money and got KO'd by a light puncher he was so weak

guys go out in fishing boats on the north sea the most dangerous job in the world for the money. dawson wanted the money and did not care that he was weak. mental ward would have never taken the fight if was at his right weight. people risk a lot for money

You flip flop just as hard as Dawson does

"My honest opinion is it was definitely a set up by HBO and other people too. It was set up for me to come in at 168. I would be vulnerable and they could expose it and he would look good at the same time. That's just my opinion on the whole situation. We could've done it at a catch weight where we both would've been comfortable but they wanted it at 168. They wanted me to come to Oakland. And I know HBO has high hopes for Andre Ward. I know they have high hopes for him and they want to make him this big champion but that's water under the bridge for me."
