    Yeah the only guy who didn't have to travel in the Super6 tournament would never have some funny **** going on with the weight for the Dawson fight.
    It was all Dawson's idea and he thought of it right there on the spot after the BHop fight. lol
    Ward and Goossen probably never talked about anything ever at all.
    Probably the same situation with Dawson and Shaw. Never said anything to each other ever about anything. lol. Shaw probably didn't even have Dawson's phone number. I'm sure they hardly ever spoke to each other.
    Shaw and Dan Goossen were like complete strangers in that press conference video lol. I'm sure that was the first time either one of them had ever spoken to each other about anything.
    (Do you see where I'm going with all this?)
    A guy who had not fought at 168 for 6 ****ing years just took it upon himself to volunteer for it right there off the top of his head after he fought BHop.

      Also guys like Lemiuex and Bute had immense hype and fan support, these guys from Colombia and Argentina have no hype whatsoever, no support(until they upset someone), never favored, and they are pretty much unknown. Lemiuex was known, and he was known to already been stopped and decisioned and he still got hype. That is a completely different story. We know nothing about these guys, they've never been stopped, we don't know their weaknesses, etc. with Lem and Bute they were just overhype and known to be average at best.

      Nobody has heard of this guy, so he must be good.

      Yeah, that will add at least 200k to the PPV sales for the show.

        BN24 also reports:

        "#7 WBC Schiller Hyppolite was reportedly another name that was rejected by the Nevada Commission as a potential opponent for Ward."

        (...) "Alexander Brand is expected to fight Ward at either 175 or at a catch-weight above 168."

        ______________________


        ... Murdock, Hyppolite... It seems that, lately, the Nevada Commission had a tough job to undertake.

          So your entire argument is based on speculation, and the belief that a fight was made under conditions where the promoters barely spoke to their fighters, or each other? And I'm the naive one? I'm now 100% sure that you're trolling and/or ******ed, and am ceasing to reply to you now.

          Also, red K and a report for racism.

            He tried to, but NSAC wouldn't let him. Lol.

              Even Ward said for the right price boxers do things. They wanted a CW, said it before the fight at the press conference.



              I didn't bother because this is well known information. Even Ring Magazines Dougies Monday Mailbag mentions it this week.

              You just proved my point. GGG was 172.

              Canelo came in at 174 against Angulo.

              GGG is 5'10 172 at max

              Canelo is 5'9. 174 at max

              Ward is 6' 185-190
              You should read before you reply. Yes, he was 172 at the 30 day weigh-in.

                Ward just signed to fight Kovalev.

                By the end of 2016, Ward will be P4P #1, and he will have eclipsed Golovkins entire career in 1 fight

                Who is Golovkin fighting next ?

                  Trying to figure out how Ward ducked Bute when Bute could've joined the tournament but declined so he ducked the whole division. LHW is weak but Andre should have come correct picking an opponent to begin with then no one would be complaining. I can dig tuneups but Ward is milking this too hard. He's about to face Kovalev so the next opponent needs to be better to prepare for not just a puncher but a guy who has good skill as well.

                      ... You have very loose ideas about what "signing for a fight" actually means...
