Dawson's trainer at the time, John Scully, said it was Dawson himself who brought up the idea of fighting Ward at 168 pounds. After Dawson's rematch victory over Bernard Hopkins on April 28, 2012, Dawson asked for the fight with Ward during an interview with HBO's Max Kellerman.
Scully conceded that Dawson had great trouble cutting the weight for the Ward fight, but said Dawson brought it up first.
"I didn't know they were talking about a fight with Ward, because I don't get involved in the business end of it with any fighters," Scully told Yahoo! Sports. "But after we beat Hopkins, I was standing next to him in the ring when he was interviewed by Kellerman and he said he wanted to fight Ward at 168. I was like, 'OK. That's interesting.' But he said it and it was the first time I'd heard it."
At the 5:14 mark of the video below of the Dawson-Hopkins post-fight news conference, Dawson is asked if he'd go to 168 to fight Ward.
Right now, you know, I'd fight anybody, 168, 175. You know? I'm not saying I prefer to come out of my comfort zone, which is 175, but I could make 168. I come into camp at about 178 pounds. I know I look bigger than what everybody thinks, but I could make 168, or I could stick around at 175.
As Scully said, he brought the topic up with Kellerman on HBO in the ring after the fight. The following is a transcript of the final part of his in-ring interview.
KELLERMAN: You are now once again the light heavyweight champion of the world. You've gotten rid of all the old fighters in the division but there's some new interesting young fighters here. Any interest you in particular?
DAWSON: I mean I would love a fight with Andre Ward. I mean I think that would make for a great fight.
KELLERMAN: Super middleweight champion.
DAWSON: Super middleweight champion. I could make 168 or we could do it at 175 —a catch weight— it don't matter to me. I wanna make my statement known. I want everybody to know who I am. I wanna go after the big dogs.
It's beyond foolish for Dawson to try to blame someone else for his problems with weight, when he repeatedly said publicly that he would have no issues making 168 pounds.

A gang of Jr middles? Oh, so we don't really need to see the Lara fight after all. BTW, no hate. Ward just hasn't done shyt in years to be calling shots. Dude is fighting after hours on BET, and nobody is watching. Reading the many threads here, "a side calls the shots". So when Ward says he can go to 160 for Floyd, he can easily get to 164 for Godlovkin, no?at the lengths you have to go to hate would you like to go check what the rehydrated weights were for the majority of his fights at 168 before claiming he beating up smaller fighters?
You know there ain't no 168 at the Olympics right
Meanwhile :shookboy: beating up a gang of jr middles GGG stans
