That is sensible. Ward never fought Dawson at 175 either.
It is sensible, you do need time to get the weight on properly and you can't expect to go straight into the weight above and beat the best guy in the division. So why would GGG go straight up to SMW To fight Ward in his first fight at the weight ??
