A lot has been written about Saturday's big upset in Montreal. WBC/IBO light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal shocked the world with an eleven round techincal decision win over one of the top pound for pound fighters in the sport, Chad Dawson.
Dawson thought Pascal's style was easily exploitable for a good boxer. There have been theories that Dawson may have overlooked Pascal. He was openly discussing a return to Montreal in the fall for a showdown with IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute.
Bute was not the only fight Dawson was pondering prior to the upset loss. He was also interested in following the same road as some of the light heavyweights of the past, by moving up to heavyweight in the not so distant future.
When speaking with BoxingScene.com's Lem Satterfield, Dawson named two heavyweights he would definitely fight. The first was Tomasz Adamak, considered at the moment as one the best heavyweights in the world, but Dawson dominated him several years ago at light heavyweight. The other fighter was WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, a smaller heavyweight who made the jump from cruiserweight two years ago.
"I mean, if Adamek said that he wanted to fight me tomorrow at heavyweight, I'd blow up, because I know what it takes to beat Adamek. I did it once, and I can do it again Or I would definitely fight David Haye," Dawson said.
