    Honestly I think Dawson can be a beast as long as he gets better...

    Dawson just needs to improve his defense a little. Does anyone know why he broke ties with Floyd Sr.?

    I'd like to see a Johnson rematch first.

      his defense is good, but he's an offense first fighter.if he wants to be bankable.

        I just think hes a little flawed defensively and against someone it could cost him if he doesn't fix it...

          IMO Chad Dawson is gonna be a big part of boxing future.
          I mean he's a young talent who's clearly learning from his mistakes,ready with paper and pen at all times.
          He's already showing willingness to take chances,he's more than willing to fight the best and fight them anywhere in the world which makes a change.
          However he's not established yet so his willingness to travel may change when he is. Whatever happen's I predict a bright future for ''Bad'' Chad Dawson.

            He looks great, though his defense is pretty bad. As long as he stays away from the big players like Calzaghe, Hopkins etc. he should be ok. Wouldn't mind seeing a Johnson rematch.

              The Glen Johnson fight scared me a little. Glen Johnson at 39 shouldn't be able to land that many head punches.

                I like Chad a light for American boxing but i hate the way he is being over-rated it seems he is the new "guy" to show love for after Kelly Pavlik lost.

                Great prospect better than pavlik and berto not sure he beats Hopkins at the minute.

                  Well I don't think beating Hopkins would be a good win at this point anyway, Hopkins is still elite. But anytime you beat a 44 year old, it looks bad I think. People will always say, but hes 44! And if you lose, then your career takes a big hit.

                  Calzaghe is the fight he should beg for. I'd even give Calzaghe a large amount of the money. Dawson will make more money in the future anyway, if he beats Calzaghe.

                    Nobody says too much about Calzaghe not wanting/liking rematches so I think Dawson should look to the future instead of looking back. He beat Tarver and Johnson. There is only one other LHW he should be eyeballing.
