Chad Dawson, Whats out there?

[-X-]

Many would like to see a second fight against Johnson, besides that is there anything else out there for him. He is all the things a champion should be Young, quick, strong, and good yet his future seems dim. Hopkins isn't going to fight him, not even with a 80-20 split, and Calzaghe is retired (for real). Had Taylor won his last fight maybe the two of them could've met some day, but Taylor didn't win. So what happens now??

If not Johnson then who?? i agree. Poor guy.

[MANGLER]

Glen 2 or Bhop. Beyond that, nothin at 175 unless Kessler moves up, which he won't. 168 has good fights, but that fool Dawson better man up and face Glen again before he drops down.

Johnson, but maybe a move down to 168 would be best for him?

[S.G.]

i'm sure we'll see a few 168lbs names moving up soon-ish

Dawson could move down and fight one or two and wait for the others to move to 175lbs

I want Dawson-Johnson 2 so bad.

I think Dawson has to fight Johnson again. Outside of that I really do not see anything else out there for him at 175. Bhop and Roy are too old to keep up with him. Eventhough Bhop has more left, not enough for Dawson. Glen Johnson again, then move down to 168 and fight Carl Froch, I hope. Froch is not that good and I think Dawson will dispose of him quickly

I agree. Hopkins would lose a close decision at this point. I'd most like to see Dawson fight Calzaghe but I know that will never happen. I think it would be a really exciting fight. It really is a shame that it will never happen.

If Dawson can make 168 without draining... then I say move there, more fights there IMO

[BattlingNelson]

He should stay at 175. Plenty of interesting fights and plenty of money if he can lure one of the german based champions in the ring.

Possibilities:
Johnson - Unfinished
Cloud - Official challenger who has called him out
Erdei - Linear german based WBO champ
Garay - German based WBA champ
Diaconu - Unfinished business

Forget about Hopkins and Calzaghe. These guys are retired (or will not fight Dawson).

So stick around and establish himself as the head honcho of the 175 pounders. Eventually some 168'ers will have to move up looking for the top guy.
