stop saying that Dawson was drained last night

[nachorjj]

more than half of Dawson's career was at 160 and 168, moved up because he was given the opportunity to fight for the WBC belt against Adamek.
When Jermain Taylor left super six, Dawson wanted to fight in the tournament and say that he have no trouble to make 168.
When he call out Ward he say that he go to 168 to fight Ward, and post fight he dont say that he have problems with the weigh and say that Ward is better boxer than him.

I respect Dawson for his sincerity and for being a good loser

How much of DLH's career was 147 or below?

[savorduhflavor]

He was clearly drained, it's not really debatable. Now I don't think that's the only reason Ward won but it is more or less a fact.

Ward would out fox and out work Dawson at any weight but he's not pounding him into submission at LHW.

Same Dawson that hasn't made 168 in 6 years?
And of course he's not going to point it out post-fight. He made numerous claims that he wouldn't use weight as an excuse pre-fight

[Jam Jars]

He moved down because there was no money fights at 175. He wouldn't have been fighting at 175 all those years if he could have stayed at 168.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Drained or not. Thats not Wards problem. Dawson wanted the fight. He demanded the fight. He wanted it at 168. Hell he was gon enter the SMW tourney. This fight wasnt wanted by fans. Dawson wanted it.

He moved down to get a payday and got KTFO in the process. Oh well.

So all the people making excuses for Dawson look weak as fu-kk right now.

It's obvious now that Dawson was no match for him at 175, just like Bute was no match before Froch made it clear for all. He should have just collected his second lineal belt one division up.

[vacon04]

I'm sure he was 140 when he was 15 years old ... maybe he can fight García.

[Jam Jars]

I'll tell you whats weak, trying to make out that it's a great win is weak. Ward didn't beat Dawson the Light Heavyweight Champion.

The amount of punches Chad threw in those 10 rounds, a lot of other fighters would throw that much in 3-4 rounds. That was just as abnormal as a fighter can get. Chad was a ghost in there. But it was his fault.

It's one thing to say, "No excuses, Chad lost, he called out Ward", and it's another thing to just outright deny the possibility of Chad being weight drained.

You can agree to both, Chad might have been drained, but it wasn't Ward's fault.
