I believe the line between 168 and 175 to be a narrow one. Most 168 pounders today are light heavyweights. Seven pounds is just not that much this high up. I think it is however a little tougher to shed after 7 years. Its probably why Dawson tried to negotiate 170. Tbh I kind of think Ward showed a lack of balls by not agreeing to that. I mean he would not be defending his title but so what? Its not like if Dawson wins he's going to defend it. Looking forward to this pugilistic tutorial. Cant see either getting stopped.
