Chad Dawson As A Heavyweight?

[apokalips]

HW would most likely be pointless. He should try CW for a couple of fights at least if he is serious. He should see how Adamek fares first also.

If he waits for the Super 6 guys he could have some tasty fights lined up, but who will he fight until then?

Bad Chad is an excellent defensive boxer and while he doesn't have bone crushing power at LHW he has just enough pop for world class fighters at that weight to be cautious about coming in on him.

Any decent HW would just walk right through him and walk him down to a stoppage.

Just think about that fat slob Arreola, but realistically he would stop Chad if they ever fought.

Dawson's career has only really started to take off. He's way off from being a Heavyweight going by what you see now. There's a lot of good fights for him when you look what's at 175 and 168.

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

Down the road I can see it. He already is stepping in fights 190 anyway.

And he still has the speed.

Historically chinny LHWs haven't fared well at HW.

[Iceta Lives]

Jesus Christ. Talk about overrating a guy. Sure he beat Adamek. But Adamek would win a rematch at Heavyweight I think like a lot of people do. Dawson needs to stay at 175 and he'll eventually get some notable fights.

Not now. But, in a few years when he starts outgrowing the LHW division he could move up to CW/HW. Plus by the time the Klitschko might be retired so you would have the smaller HW dominate more.
