Chad Dawson is the best boxer on the planet

[Spray_resistant]

IMO, he's on Floyd's level of Boxing skill and above Calderon. He suffers from being in a crap division but his skills speak for themselves.

Thoughts on this, gentlemen?

I agree his offense is far superior to Floyd's and Calderon's because he actually punches in combination and his D is just as good.

Bad Chad deserves alot more respect on here.

Why, is there a problem?

There's no problem except in my opinion it's kinda dumb and childish, and if you post joke threads, expect joke replies, because no one thinks you're serious.

**edit my bad, legit thread mistaken for joke thread...

I don't know what you're talking about. This isn't a joke thread. I have two respected posters agreeing with me already. And if I bother you that much than stay away from my threads. There's other garbage-ass threads that need patrolling, Deputy Doofy.

Not the best, but certainly a candidate for the fastest. He has prime Mayweather-esque speed when he throws combos, or even just that jab on its own.

Instead of calling him "Bad", they should call him "Lightning" or something (more aptly) corny.

Dawson is a BEAST! unfortunately his division is not that good right now, if he destroys Jean Pascal then I don't know what he will do after that, he will have to consider either moving up and maybe fighting Steve Cunningham or down in that 168 division were it will be A LOT of big fights for him

Dawson is Top 5 P4P IMO

Just wondering why you feel the need to play some sort of online personna.

the ****???

braddman is a joke of a moderator. That's what i gotta say.

I'm a big fan. Tremendous boxer, good resume for where he is in his career (the win over Adamek gets better with each step forward Tomasz takes), beats everyone at 175 and anyone wanting to come up from 168. He will handle Pascal comfortably.

I don't particularly want him to face B-Hop, it wouldn't be an entertaining watch and does very, very little for his resume.

I wish he was more active. It's hard to build any sort of momentum when he fights so infrequently (or that's how the perception is in my mind, from all the Iceta rants).

The biggest threat to him is Cloud. That would be an amazing fight, kinda like Bradley-Devon.

Underated!

Dawson is execellent. He might have to move down to really make a name for himself, and who knows how that affects him. He has won decisively against everyone he has faced with maybe the exception of the first Johnson fight. He has two wins on Johnson, two against Tarver, and a very good win against Adamek who was unbeaten at the time they faced each other. If he is able to add a couple of names to that resume he might get more pub. I think he might be the best out there right now. A Hopkins fight wouldn't even be competitive, Bernard wants no part of it, partly because the kid is a beast and partly because their is no money in return. Calzaghe might have been able to hang but I think he was on the downside as well. I will say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dawson is the most underated fighter in the game.

Calderon was/is a great boxer, amico.

Dawson showed a lot of improvement in his last fight, even though it was against Glen Johnson. However, I don't think he's reached his peaked yet.

If Calderon were still at his peak, I'd say he's better than Dawson right now. However, he's slowed some over the past few fights. Still, I'm not so sure there's a guy at 105 or 108 that I'd favor over him.

Either way, Ian Napa > these two jokers.
