Chad Dawson: Did I fall asleep for 3 years or some ****?

[ßringer]

I said this in another thread and I think it warrants a thread of it's own.

So what's up with Chad Dawson? Did I fall asleep for 3 years and miss something with this kid? Why all the hype all of a sudden, I know he's undefeated and black, and that goes a long way around here but this **** is ludacris.

Are we not talking about a guy who just a few months ago looked and acted like a scared little ***** in the ring against Johnson? Narrowly escaping with a **** decision and vowing ot never face Glen again?

The same Glen Johnson that Bernard Hopkins TKO'd 10 fucking years ago?

And he's your go to guy now for Calzaghe? Why? Because he beat Tarver?

Dawson is dog**** and he's an accident waiting to happen, Joe Calzaghe would feast on his corpse, as would the 43 year old Hopkins. I'd favor both Joe and Bernard to outclass this kid en route to lopsided UD victories.

I agree 100%.

I'm a Dawson fan, but I fully agree with you.

Dropped by Adamek, gift win over Johnson, schooled by Joe.

Co-sign homey.

It's ridiculous the way **** gets twisted around here. It's like the goddamn "Twilight Zone" with boxers.

spot on post I totally agree

For me he doesnt bring anything to the table for Joe C to consider fighting him.., He has talent but if joe beat him then it would be the same old "Dawson was too green" excuses.

saying Calzaghe will beat Dawson isn't the same as him actually beating Dawson in real life. you do understand that right???

Exactly. They're just picking Dawson because he's the only young, undefeated guy in (or in the general area of) Joe's division. Before him it was Pavlik. If Dawson didn't exist, who then? Would we be seeing polls saying Calzaghe should be fighting Zsolt Erdei, or that he'd ducking Carl Froch?

You have to draw the line somewhere, and everybody knows I'm far from Joe's biggest fan.

But you have to call a spade a spade.

Good post man, I gotta agree on what you said there.
