Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson Still Willing To Drop Down To 168-Pounds

I don't even think his fight with Pascal is set in stone.

He said it wasn't finalized in the last video he did for the site, and this article says Pascal is the target opponent.

What if that fight doesn't happen? He'd have wasted an entire year....

He could just fight a tune up with the WBA I think titlist Shumenov, even though he got that title via robbery.......

Chad Dawson vs Lucian Bootay wuold be a great fight! If he waits for the end of the Super 6 to end, he'll be on the shelf for 2 years waiting on them drama queens to get finished. If Im not mistaken, the bottom 2 drops out of the tournament before or after the 3rd stage so he'll have a decent opponent to beat up til there is a winner.

Shumenov should count his blessings, to put him in with Dawson would be a bad move for his sake.

Bad Chad would be better off moving up and fighting Cunningham I mean if he is coming in to fights at 190+ then 168 could be a problem for him. They guy looks very lean even on FN to me at the weights he comes in at.

Fight Cloud.............................

Yeah, I'd be more than happy to see Chad win a shut-out against this overhyped fighter after he beats Pascal. What then though? Dawson really is cursed by his division.

He's not too overhyped... Most don't even know of Cloud... Though that could change with a good performance against Johnson. Is that fight going to be on espn or shobox or something?

When I say overhyped I meant on NSB. People are acting like Cloud will munch through Chad. Cloud has shown me absolutely nothing to suggest he can cause Dawson any kinds of problems at all.

Dawson gets about 10% of the credit he deserves on here. Incredibly skilled fighter.

I feel the same about Bute though, though I know Bute fought other fighters left-overs but who hasn't fought other fighters left-overs? This is boxing, I mean its going to happen. 50/50 fight between Bute/Dawson meaning it can go either way if this fight happens in my personal opinion. The loser of that fight will most likely be branded a fraud by some NSB posters.

Anyone who brands Dawson a fraud is a straight out fool.

Seriously, his Adamek performance alone would be enough for that. The skills he displayed in that fight were just exceptional. Forget his wins over Johnson, Tarver and Harding, that Adamek performance was great.

Yes, his best and only notable wins are against past prime Gonzales who was stopped but didn't come close to leaving his feet, and a competitive UD against past prime Clinton Woods.

This is nothing to indicate he could trouble Dawson and I am not sure he will get past Johnson in August but we will see.
