As a Dawson fan I want Jean Pascal to beat Dawson.

[Evil Abed]

It's disgraceful that Dawson will be off for 10 months before fighting again in August against Jean Pascal. Dawson like Mayweather is a cherry picker, except that he doesn't have Mayweather's drawing power.

I like Jean Pascal, he's a cool dude, and likable boxer. I believe Dawson will suffer first career loss come August.

Who exactly is Dawson ducking?

He's fought Harding, Adamek, Tarver x2, Johnsonx2, , now Pascal

Cloud?(Ducking Johnson)

Dinacui?(got beat by Pascal twice)

Enlighten us.

I know this script well. Dawson beats Pascal, he is ducking Cloud. He fights Cloud he is ducking someone else...

Yeah, slowly cleaning out your division is cherrypicking these days.

The guy sold himself to HBO, he didn't want to fight Diaconu in the summer of 2008 and gave up his WBC belt to fight Tarver. Both Tarver fights were FLOPS.

After he won the IBF belt, he refused to fight Tavoris Cloud and instead fought Tarver again. No wonder he's so inactive, and no wonder Bernard Hopkins has a hard time negotiating with him.

I'm actually surprised Dawson wants to fight Pascal.

But at the time Tarver was ranked higher than Diaconu and Tarver was more money and a bigger name. And, then Tarver excircised a rematch claus. So Dawson had to fight him again instead of Cloud.

Bernard has never tried to negotiate with Dawson at all...

If you look in the last 3yrs Dawson is 5-0 against top 5 175lbers. And, now is fighting another top 5 175lber. So what is your beef exactly?

[jrosales13]

Dawson should handle Pascal very easily.

People do not want to accept how good Chad is because his style is not overly crowd-pleasing.

Noone at 175 is touching Chad right now. Hell, his haters have to cling to Cloud who has shown absolutely nothing to make anyone think he could hang with Dawson.

I think that in the bold is really what it is...

And, you right I don't see anybody at 175 beating him either.

He wants to be Dawson's manager.

He didn't necessarily duck Diaconu (and I hate Diaconu), but backing out of that fight in 2008 was not a good move by him and his team imo.

He's entangled in the politics of the sport too much, especially by the sanctioning bodies. He's always wondering why he doesn't have a Hopkins/Mayweather/Cotto type of draw, and it's because he's too inactive.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Yeah my thinking is this why fight a guy who had to postpone the fight twice. Its obvious as heck that Pascal aint ready. Its a waste of time. Or atleast if you want to fight him take a tune up inbetween you dont take almost a year off in your prime....willingly.



Anybody else feel like this?

[Siggy]

people need to stop bringing up cloud. HBO was not gonna televise it.
what's the incentive for chad?

[Boxingwizard]

He wants to be Dawson's manager.

Who says anything about being his manager idiot? You listen to his interviews and his actions, he's cherry-picking. Why would he COMPLETELY sell himself to HBO.
