Chad Dawson Willing To Drop To Super Middleweight

[Dave Rado]

He didn't want to fight Kessler at 172 despite calling him out and now he wants to go all the way to 168?

It's weird, and why won't he rematch Johnson and beat some Light Heavyweight contenders? He's too name-obsessed, great champions defend their titles, and not only against big name but way past their peak fighters like Tarver.

Bernard Hopkins doesn't want to fight Dawson
Adrian Diaconu is now signed to fight Jean Pascal
Glen Johnson supposedly is going to fight Tomasz Adamek
Tavoris Cloud is not going to fight Dawson right away
Hugo Garay and Erdie will fight for a third time to unify the WBA & IBF titles

Why not fight at 168?

im 6'3" and walk around at 178 without any exercise

chad can make 168

Height alone has nothing to do with it. Some people are naturally much heavier than other people of the same height.

Chad looks bad. It gives the name Bad Chad a new meaning.... This move makes it look like he blatantly ducked Kessler. Not the standard NSB duck but a real one.

Chad never ducked Kessler, especially considering the fight was going to be a catchweight, which was pointless.

He sees the limited fighter froch, you need more then heart to beat someone like Dawson. Try skill for the correct answer, something I still have not seen much of from froch.

It would like to see Chad in two fights: with Johnson and Hopkins... Other than that i don`t care...

The point is that it was only going to be a catchweight because Dawson wouldn't drop to 168. Now, all of a sudden, he seems to think he can.

[Ryn0]

The possibilities seem endless at 168 at the minute. Dawson would do well there.

I think he'd beat everyone (if he isn't weight drained) apart from maybe Kessler. I would hate for them to fight though Dawson and Kessler are two of my favourite fighters.

[Boxingwizard]

I'd say Dawson can fight at SMW three times before going back to LHW.

He should fight Froch, Bute, and Abraham in that order.
