Is Chad Dawson Retarded?

_Shawn17y ago

I just watched the interview with Chad Dawson on showtime and I must say, I am now a believer. There just seems to be something not quite right with him. I'm not sure if he is crazy or retarded or what, but I am now convinced there is something mentally not right with Dawson.

Comments (11)

The option I wanted to vote for is a mix of the two. "Yes, he is completely retarded."

i think glen johnson dropped his IQ 10 points from 85 to 75 with those right hands. chad's now on a remedial kindergarden reading level instead of the second-grade status he had pre-johnson. Dawson would only beat him convincingly in a rematch.

17y ago

He's not retarded, he did get an associates degree in business administration. And why would he be on crack? He stopped doing drugs. I don't know Dawson's background, but the ONLY person who mentioned him as a retard was Floyd Mayweather Sr., and you know how he is.

Interview broadcast before the Bradley vs Cherry fight. Sorry I said it wrong, I meant the interview before the bradley/cherry fight. Yeah, I think like he was on crack in that video. His eyes looked blood shoot and he was mumbling, I don't think he was high because I've been stoned before and I don't act as retarded as he did in that interview.

Was he wearing his fur coat & Elizabeth Taylor shades tonight? like last time? :lol1:

Is that the same interview where Tarver was making front of him to his face? In that interview Chad Dawson looked like he was high on crack. Interview broadcast before the Bradley vs Cherry fight.

He tried his damndest to discredit his victory over Tarver if he gets it. Old, shot, past his prime, slow... Wow, Chad, real world beater you are fighting there. Enjoy getting no credit if you do manage to beat him. What the fuck is up with this avatar? --> :flowers1:
