Chad Dawson As A Heavyweight?

[ИATAS]

Well if Chris byrd could do it then i think Dawson can, The HW apart from the Klits arent that good so he could do a Byrd.

Chris byrd has phenomenal defense and speed, that's what allowed him to be successful at HW. While Chad is fast, his defense isn't nearly as good as Byrd's was.

Byrd fought as a light - middleweight before moving up to HW in that time he was hit with more shots because he was fighting guy is own size, When he moved up he was a small HW so he use his speed to get away from all this big and fat HW, I think Dawson can do the exact same if not even better especially with the fact that he wouldnt have to kill himself at any scales.

Chad has said recently he would like to one day go to HW.

Lets say if he were to put the right amount of muscle mass on and jump to HW. How does he fair at the weight? He has already beat a top HW Contender in Adamek.

How does he do with the likes of Povetkin, Arreola, Samuel Peter and Ruiz?

Could he become a threat at the weight. If he were to add the right muscle and keep his speed?

So did Pavlik until he got beat by Hopkins

dawson should move down to 147 or at least 154.

maybe then he can get a hopkins fight.

LOL,I think Chad would beat most fighters at Heavyweight,But he would lose to all the title holders their.

You're underestimating how great Byrd's defense was man, he didn't just use speed to avoid punches, he used technique, etc. I don't think Dawson could suddenly learn those things at this point.

He would not. His speed in all areas would be slow. He doesn't have a great chin either

Adamek at HW would beat him

Not a good idea. I want him to dominate the LH div. like Bob Foster did.

Too small + limited power= no chance
