The fight should be at 175 so that nobody is weight drained. Ward can come in at 170 or so if he likes, that shouldn't be too bad for him.

Why are people saying "No respect for Ward if fight is at 68"? Dawson is the one who's been saying not only recently, but for YEARS that "Oh, I can make 68, I'll go down to 68 no problem" I could understand if Ward was like "68, or no fight" or something around those lines, but he's not.
Dawson seems pretty adamant about being able to make SMW, therefor I'd take HIS word over anyone else's. Although, I too would indeed love to see Ward move up to fight for THE lineal LHW championship. I mean, Ward won the gold medal at LHW, therefor if Dawson said "Catch-weight or at 75, or no fight" Ward would do it in a heart beat, don't get why people seem to think and/or feel otherwise. I believe Ward's proven his worth thus far.
Either way, 68/75/catch-weight, it's a GREAT fight for the HARDCORE boxing enthusiast. Technical pugilistic prestige at the highest echelons of the sport. If fight happens I will make an analysis, but I'm taking Ward by something like an 116-112 UD where he'll smother Dawson's range and won't allow him to get room to utilize his jab. In the early rounds I expect Dawson's athleticism and range and length to eek out some of the early rounds, but down the stretch Ward will work him over inside.
