Chad Dawson vs Zsolt Erdei

I think Dawson beats Zsolt who's kinda slow but has some nice uppercuts.
I wonder about Dawson's chin though. Adamek, who is not a big puncher, nailed him in the 10th and Dawson was basically covering up the rest of the fight. See you tube clip.

Dawson has to focus for the full 12 or he's going to be a short lived champ.

Tarver would eat him like a pancake.

I would love to see this fight, i basically see Dawson cleaning out the Light heavyweight division, he has beaten Adamek and Harding, now when he beats Glen Johnson he should go for thw WBO champ Erdei who is arguably the linear champ of the division, i know hopkins or tarver wont fight Chad Dawson, so he should'nt either he should go for the young and fresh blood in the sports.

This is how his next 4 fights should be like:

Glen Johnson
Zsolt Erdei (Unify with the WBO Champ)
Adrian Diaconu
Clinton Woods (Unify with the IBF Champ)

I saw Erdei's last fight, and he is the least impressive one on this list (except for possibly Woods). I'd pick Johnson or Diaconu to beat him. Maybe that's why Erdei stays in Germany fighting only carefully selected opponents. I really doubt that his promoters want any part of Dawson.

Parody cmon. Tarver is a 4 time world champ and has fought way better fighters than Chad. I got ALL my points on Tarver if the fight ever happens.

You'll have no trouble getting people here to take that action. Tarver is 39 and washed up.

I'm not quite sold on Dawson yet. He's only fought 6 top 50 fighters and has tasted the canvas 3 times already. He's talented for sure, but with a lot still to prove. Tarver, even at this stage, would be a good test for him.

Reasonably interesting matchup.

Erdei is a good boxer, with an excellent defence & very good jab.

Downside is that he isn't that big for a LHW, tends to fight at a very steady pace & doesn't adjust that well to sudden changes, isn't that fast & is not a power puncher.

Would favour Dawson on this one
- big advantages in height, reach, size & handspeed.

But Erdei is a good enough boxer to find any holes in Dawson's game & exploit them.

2-1 odds for Dawson in a potentially very interesting match.
