Ward is dumb. He should have said F**k that, and just went to 175 for Dawson's titles. He would have become a 2 weight Lineal Champ and beaten one of the Top LHW's in the past 4-5 years.
He's going to get no credit if he beats Dawson.
I see your point but I think he gets some credit for beating Chad especially if Chad makes weight comfortably and fights well at 168. But you're right he should have opted to go to 175 and take Chad's titles from him.

I don't think Dawson is going to make weight comfortably, and even if he does and loses he could just say "Weight was a problem, I wasn't at a 100%" and Ward loses a lot of credibility just because of that.
If anyone can beat Ward I would say its Dawson but Chad doesn't have much inside game and Ward will make it rough fight. This fight could end up like Bradley vs Alexander.
