Chad Dawson doesn't have star power.

Honestly, I think reading the dictionary is more exciting than watching this guy fight, he also has the personality of mud.

Have to agree.

Yes I appreciate his talent, but i find him awful to watch, Boxing needs the casual fans, and casual fans are not going to be entertained by dawson.

Why cant dawson plant his feet and fire off some bombs once in a while?

as long as he is willing to fight top fighters that are his size and equally talented, he'll be ok...he runs into trouble if he does a hopkins and seeks out middleweights...

He does plant his feet, but it's not his style to start getting into exchanges. He looks to land quick combinatios and get out of range.

Talent and exciting mass-appeal are not mutually exclusive.
While I can appreciate technical skill, I still love watching a good scrap.

Dawsons had plenty of exiting fights. He just happens to be a smart fighter that's not going to mix it up with a knockout puncher if he doesn't have to.

Especially since he's fought two guys with 97 fights and no ko losses, known tough guys who don't go down often.

I thought he fought brilliantly last night.

Dawson's fights with Adamek and Johnson 1 were exciting. Not to many look good against Tarver. Remember Merchant said wake him up right before the kd happened?

I thought Chad looked good last night. Johnson wasn't doing anything

Who cares about star power.

Chad's bank manager.

BTW, according to maxboxing, 5,230 were in attendance last night.

The guy put on a clinic. Only a moron would have tried to **** with a guy with that kind of power and an iron chin. Everyday I realize more and more how much people on here don't know that much about the sport.

You are an idiot, Johnson doesnt have huge power, even though he ko';d jones 10 years ago. 50% ko ratio, he isn't some shocking ko artist is he. he was also not doing **** all so dawson could of let his hands go more often than he did
