By James Ahern


Undefeated WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson has informed ********** that Floyd Mayweather Sr will no longer be training him. World class trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad has assumed the responsibility and is currently working with the light heavyweight champion in Las Vegas. More to follow, so stay tuned to our front page at all times!!

I believe Dawson has the potential to be GREAT, he's already good. I saw him fight once or twice before the Eric Harding fight & i said to myself hey this guy's got something, but there was something missing. He got kd and really didn't look that great in the Harding fight . I knew once Mayweather Sr steeped in as head trainer he would be better. Even though, I fully expected Adamek with his heart, expericence, & chin to win in the fight that he saw his WBC strap (& undefeated record) disapear. Dawson looked beautiful in his southpaw stance using lateral movement with a constant jab. but by constantly dropping his left hand Adamek eventually timed him w/ a straight right and hard the the canvas. We know the rest.... I think it's all up to Dawson as to what kind of fighter he wants to become. He has the talent now he has to put in the work

I trained chad for several figths as a pro (before the conniving Gary Shaw stole him away from his then promoter). Chad has CRAZY talent

Ice,

I see that Chad just left FMS and went to Mustafa.
Is Eddie an elite trainer?

[Fox McCloud]

Yes, talent and dynamics are not the same thing.

Haven't you heard?

Thanks genius, what else can you educate me on?

Talent makes me think of the way Floyd Mayweather wins recently at his higher weights.

Dynamic makes me think of throwing and landing quite a few effective combinations, which he did against both Adamek and Ruiz.

[kayjay]

Didn't he beat the crap out of Adamek by utilizing his skill?

He was way too fast for Adamek and stayed out of range; could he box like that against someone with better handspeed? I don't know, but we're gonna find out before long

I thought Floyd Sr. was a perfect match for Dawson. I wonder what happened there.

i think they might have had a few arguments before must have had another falling out.

Dawson is Calzaghe's toughest fight, without question.
