lmao @ taking risks..

dawson took the fukkin risk!!

but ward showed and proved.

He called a smaller man out instead of the guy instead of tryin to avenge his loss to Pascal. That already told me where Dawson's heart was. He didn't think it was a risk.

So why aren't people shytting on Ward for winning with a catchweight??

 

[TheNig]

Oh, okay, I can see that. There are more than five fighters you can legitimately argue against Ward (well, before tonight at least) - I could see Floyd, Manny, Donaire, Klitschko, Martinez, even Marquez or Bradley if you really wanted to get on the iffy side. I have, and had, Ward ahead of all of them though personally.

i've always had him 3 or 4.

And Ward has been fighting the majority of his big fights on Showtime, not HBO, so that limited some of his exposure too. This was a great showcase for him though. A non ppv against a world class opponent that he absolutely punished. He probably bout to comeup a lil bit now.

Before tonight's fight I had him higher than Bradley, Vlad, Donaire and Marquez. Ward winning that tourney really did it for me. Right now he's at LEAST top 4, behind Floyd, Manny, and Martinez.

He weighed 185 in the ring, thats his fighting weight at Lightheavy..ward was too fast in there.

Boxing is about getting every single advantage in your favor as possible. It's all part of the game. It's a business first. It isnt Ward's fault that he came in there looking like a zombie. It was a bullshyt fight though because Dawson was arrogant enough to drain himself but it is what it is

it wasnt a catchweight, and yea that does take some luster away.

but this isnt like Manny doing what he does and you defending it so dont try to take away anything from Ward.
