Chad Dawson's fighting style makes me angry

That's exactly why Pascal would probably beat him again, all based on that.

His fight was boring. He should have keep Mayweather Sr. as trainer, he looked good when he was with Sr. If he going to fight Hopkins, with his boxing skills he should beat Hopkins but wont.

Everytime he hit Diaconu with a flushed shot, he will pause. He seems to be more content of just outboxing the guy instead of going for the jugular. I remember the Pascal fight too, he can be explosive when he wants too but he's not assertive enough. Steward pushed him to increase his workrate. I think he got the style that can beat Hopkins but he need to throw more punches. When I was watching the fight in an Argentinan TV channel, the commentator was near the Dawson corner and he said that Steward was pushing him a lot to be more agressive and to throw more punches, but when the round started he continued being passive. I don't really know where I also heard that Steward lied to Dawson and said that they were losing the fight so that he started throwing some more punches.

Exactly what I think. He has good height, he always seems to be in great physical shape, has real real boxing talent, but he's just not ambitious at all. I remember the last fight against Pascal when he got the cut, he looked very dangerous and explosive. But ins his last fight against Diaconu he looked very passive, I thought he could've finish the fight whenever he wanted, but he just didn't do it.

Seriously, Dawson's talent and athleticism is amazing at times, but he does not utilize them well enough. He fights lazy most of the time and his body language gives me the impression that he doesn't give a sh#t. And he's a very poor finisher. He reminds me of Zab Judah, another fighter with incredible talent but with the wrong mindset. I seriously hope Dawson doesn't put his talent to waste. I like his boxing skills but sometimes he makes me angry. dawson likes to fight at a slow pace.... he's too laid back.... he's like wlad

I agree, he fights like he rather would be home doing his taxes. His body language is un-motivating. It's weird cause at the end of the Pascal fight, he actually got mad and wanted to take Pascal out but got timid quick after he stunned Pascal with the uppercut. Dunno with him.

I agree 100%. Looks Bad Chad is a boring ass fighter that doesn't have the heart to be great. Very talented and physically gifted but does not utilize it. I think Zab is a fair comparison.

It has way more to do with his hunger and drive rather then his style It just looks like he doesnt want to fight anymore

Well Zab certainly has the killer instinct...but I feel what your saying...as do plenty of other people... Chad's gotta find it in himself...no trainer is gonna bring the "Bad" out of him...
