That was outside our condo at the 1996 PAL Nationals in Palm Bay, Florida... I cannot honestly say I thought for sure Chad would be a world champion back then...there are SO MANY talented kids at national tournaments and, I mean, Chad was only like 15 when this pic was taken so that's really too early...I first thought he could do something big much later when I started taining him in 2004...working closely with him I saw a lot and figured he'd do something then...Comment

Awesome pic Ice-I was at the Double Tree in Carson, CA after the 3rd Marquez/Vasquez bout and Chad sat down with me and my brother for a couple hours and did nothing but talk boxing and a drunk Scap doesnt pull punches... we talked about the perception of his shaky chin and how buzzed was he against Ademek etc.
He even offered ring side seats to his fight with Glenn Johnson but my wife was due with our second and I was unable to take him up on it...I told him that I thought the boxing world really had something when he dismantled Ian Gardner who is an awkward dude...I asked him when did he beat Ian and he wasnt sure and I gave him the exact date which was November 18th...I told him I knew that date because my wife was in labor actually pushing our first child out when there was a lul between contractions and I called one of my friends to find out how Dawson looked on showbox against Garnder...he thought that was pretty cool. (my wife wasnt all that pleased)
All and all he was a tremendous person...Im not just saying that because I sat down and talked with him...had he of been Zab Judah I would have called him such.
Chad Dawson has a fan for life in me!Comment

That's pretty cool, my man. Chad has always been a decent kid...quiet actually..when he was a kid he was REALLY quiet, him and both of his brothers...funny, I used to joke with them sometime on amateur trips, I'd be like, "OK, you three, calm down, Stay calm or else you guys might get a heart attack or something!" They'd just be sitting there, quiet as miceComment

that's cool to know, he seemed really out of character when he was trash talking Tarver - must be hard keeping up with Tarver's verbal jabs.That's pretty cool, my man.

Yea, true, some guys just dont "sound right" when they talk trash and when they go up against a witty guy it makes it even worseComment
