Dawson fails to impress.

You're my boy, EX.. but Dawson put on a stinker and didn't look impressive. Yeah, maybe to somebody that was looking for a knockout from Chad. I saw some major improvements in Chad's game. I was impressed, you were not. It's koo tho.

Diaconu fought very well, he put Dawson in trouble at times and showed some decent defensive skills. His physical condition was much more improved than in his last matches.

Yeah, only to you bud. You're my boy, EX.. but Dawson put on a stinker and didn't look impressive.

the title of this thread is 100% correct Yeah, only to you bud.

the title of this thread is 100% correct

NOW THAT AGREE WITH! Apparently Mayweather Sr. was "TOO STRICT FOR HIM" but the Dawson I seen against Adamek is still the Best I have seen Chad Dawson so far...but I think Steward will do a good job with him, Dawson was hitting much harder in this fight and he was standing and fighting and he was coming forward A LOT MORE! steward implements a different way of fighting for chad it's going to take time to learn this i just don't think he has that time he did go back to his old ways in the mid-rounds though. he's not a KO puncher and if he thinks he is that's a mistake set down when u can but also rip those fast combos he's gonna have to learn when to switch up.

He threw more proved he can take a shot and bored me. And I'll say it again if he wants to great he needs mayweather sr back in that corner sr was good for him he hit harder cause he was able to put them together. He's has the reflexes speed and all that for it. But the real reason he sucks is he doesn't know what he wants to do in the ring is it box/brawl/pity pat/or swarm he needs to find himself before Hopkins does it for him.. NOW THAT AGREE WITH! Apparently Mayweather Sr. was "TOO STRICT FOR HIM" but the Dawson I seen against Adamek is still the Best I have seen Chad Dawson so far...but I think Steward will do a good job with him, Dawson was hitting much harder in this fight and he was standing and fighting and he was coming forward A LOT MORE!

My bad, I meant top fighters of the world. The boy has great potential, but he's not showing it. put dawson in were he has to fight or die i believe he fights diaconu is a tough guy B+ guy they don't just lay down. what was so great about bhops performance score the 11th for pascal it's a draw don't get me wrong he won, but his stamina is awful dawson lost to pascal yes but is he leaps and bounds better no look at ortiz redemption can be found

What did Diaconu do? Runaway, swing hayemakers, miss. Repeat. What is said about Diaconu? Nothing let him slide. Bash the fighter who was coming forward, opening up more, threw more punches, landed more punches. Don't say anything about Diaconu fighting on the back foot 95% of the time, unwilling to come forward, doing his best impersonation of Arthur Abraham, which he failed at it. But who do you complain about? That's right, the black guy, the guy who did everything to make a fight happen. It's funny cause i'm not even black. It's just funny, the blatant biasness against African American fighters. I'm extremely against biasness. I speak against it every time I see it. Black boxers are the biggest victims of bias boxing fans. I mean, the guy out threw Diaconu, out landed Diaconu, landed 60% of his power punches, came forward all night, took Diaconu's best shots and still came forward, and you little faggots still find a way to bash him. If it was Margarito, omg what a warrior. If it was Pavlik, Woo hoo Pavlik is back! Etc. It's just so obvious, it's sad. YEAH this is how PATHETIC this Forum has become...lol Dawson is getting more criticism then Nathan Cleverly who people would rather make excuses for instead of point out his weak defense and how he two got wobbled against a guy that was called in at the last minuted to come and fight him but yet Dawson dominated his fight but people are extremely negative towards the guy I honestly expected Dawson to stick and move in this fight because Diaconu does have pretty good Power but instead he guy stood and fought and came FORWARD and when he got ROCKED he took it and still kept coming, he didn't start backing up like he did in the past IT TAKES TWO FIGHTERS TO PUT ON A GOOD FIGHT, OF COURSE a fight will be boring when it is just one guy landing on a guy like he is a HEAVY BAG at a Boxing Gym Dawson don't need to change anything, FIGHT YOUR FIGHT, don't try to become a KO ARTIST because that is just not the type of fighter he is nor will he ever be...Dawson IS A BOXER and a DAMN GOOD ONE! NO NEED TO CHANGE WHAT HE DO!

What the hell are you talking about? He IS among the top fighters in the LHW division. If B-Hop is considered the best right now then Dawson is number 2 or 3. To say that chad Dawson is not a top fighter doesn't make any sense at all. My bad, I meant top fighters of the world. The boy has great potential, but he's not showing it.

He threw more proved he can take a shot and bored me. And I'll say it again if he wants to great he needs mayweather sr back in that corner sr was good for him he hit harder cause he was able to put them together.

Ehh, you're reaching. If you really noticed that, then you are probably a little biased against white American fighters. There are so many better examples that you could make using white European fighters. You're just doing a disservice to your argument by attacking someone that has given so many great wars to this country. No I am not reaching. I saw people praising Kelly Pavlik for his shitty comeback performance against Lopez. And Margarito being praised for his absolutely trash comeback fight against a journeyman. I'm not reaching at all, just speaking the truth. African American fighters aren't treated like every one else. It's just the truth, and being a member here for such a long time, no one can tell me otherwise. I'm not hearing it.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Nothing at all, NOTHING is said about Diaconu's performance. It's like if Dawson fought against Dawson in that fight, Dawson vs Dawson. win or lose, he still loses. There was more action in that fight than Mosley vs Pacquiao, and Pac vs Clottey put together, yet Pacquiao gets praised for his complete, but admittingly lackluster, domination. But Dawson gets bashed and does not get any praise at all. Whatsoever. Clottey and Mosley get bashed for their performances against the GOAT Manny Pacquiao, yet Diaconu goes unscathed, let him slide, let's bash Dawson instead. It's annoying and pathetic man, seriously.

Pavlik vs Lopez, Pavlik looked like complete shit. What threads are made?: Pavlik did really good for a comeback fight. No he did not, he looked like shit and won a close fight against a no name opponent. Dawson shut out a top 10 LHW, named opponent, known to be dangerous, shuts him out, comes forward all night, oh that was a lackluster performance, bored me to death, should have taken more chances. Margarito comes back against Robert Garcia, looks shit in a 12 round decision against a journeyman. No lie I read some one praising Margarito for that win and here's the funny part: They said they reminded him of Mohammed Ali a little bit, and the poster was not playing.

Can't say he is more exciting than Hopkins and that is saying something where entertainment value is concerned. I think guys like Alexander and Direll are more boring though.

Very Very Very Very Boring, For someone With so much ability and potential to let off shots and multiple combo's he's a true snooze fest, and i question if this guy deep down loves boxing or does it cuz' he can , i mean i found myself with my hand on my chin slowly falling asleep and hearing crickets outside, yes he "Won" and thats whats important , but at the same time people hold Chad to a higher expectation than just a "Win" because people see the world class potential and the guy turns out a all out Snoozer, i mean saying "Boring" was almost a understatement, im a fan of his and wish him the best but damn man step it up ****.. And threw a lot of goofy odd looking punches at time that left me like "Wtf Was that?" , i dunno i guess i get frustrated cuz of how talented he is and just how boring he comes off.

BORING AS **** !! the guy has great skill but hes waaaay to relaxed he put my father to sleep and my father rarely goes to sleep during fights.

If Hopkins beats him I want to see all the people get on here that claims he's been ducking him for the past several years because of fear.
