Seems to me that Chad Dawson is going through the same problem at LHW that Paul Williams had to endure at WW. He may just be tooooo good to get the big fights!
How the hell does this guy resemble Paul Williams? He sits on his ass, being inactive and he's a boring, safety first boxer that fights for himself and not the fans. He better man up and fight Tavoris Cloud if Cloud gets past Johnson because him and Tavoris would be the only fight for a Ring champ to be crowned at 175 since Hopkins got disqualified from his #1 position by pretty much doing the same thing that Dawson is getting ready to do. Fighting a smaller guy and fighting infrequently.
why should he fight for the fans? he's the one putting his life on the line. it's all well and good for someone to put on a show and take punches to give punches. but in the end it won't be the fans who can't wipe their own asses at the age of 40. i'm not a chad dawson fan but give the man some credit for being the best in his division. i can already tell people are gonna give him about as much respect as they do calzaghe. i think light heavy must be cursed.
well then its time to put on 25 pounds and go to hvwt
he started his career at 162 pounds. horrible move for him to even think about a klitschko. look at the odds people are giving adamek against even arreola. moving up that far will probably be career suicide for adamek and would be for dawson imo.

dawson weighs 190 on fight night. making 168 would probably be too much to ask. cruiserweight has even fewer big names. he should just clean out light heavy and wait for the up and comers.

Well at least Cloud is fighting Johnson and if he beat him a Dawson/Cloud fight would be good for the division.

He's damned in that division, he should go down to SMW if he can make the weight and fight Bute. If he beats Hopkins, well another old man, if he beats Pascal or Cloud, well they were nothing special to start with.
Kellerman said it best.
Chad is a good fighter, not a great one, in a weak division.
He needs to man up and clean it out imo. This generation of fighters forgot that when guys like Hopkins and Kostya had no big fights, they just went down the list of fighters in their division and cleaned it up.
Dawson needs to that, the money will be there.
I think there is a lot of truth to this post.
I'm a huge fan of Dawson but I agree with you, he just needs to go through and beat the best that are out there. I think he did that with the first round of guys, now he needs to do it with the likes of Pascal and Cloud.

What "big" fights are there at 175 aside from Hopkins?
