    chad dawson is just stuck at a weight, where there are no big fights for him.

    168, would be good, if he can fight comfortably there.

      No. White Americans are only popular when they get beat up. If they come out harmless out of fights, nobody cares about them. Sad but true .

          Hell no.

          If he were white, he'd be constantly bashed by the sports media for having his last four fights against two 40 year olds.

          And he wouldn't be on any top ten p4p lists.

                No. He is a boxer and in this era people want "fighters" who brawl vs "boxers" who utilize more skills. Also, Chad Dawson has no personality.

                  Chad has that style I like to watch but instead I find him boring. I feel like I condradicted myself here, hopefully you guys know what I meant.

                    No! Pavlik was KO everyone right and centre before he got his chance at Taylor and he got NO love, Even Arum played the race card with Pavlik when he said he was been discriminated because he was white. Dawson is just unlucky with his division, his potential opponents who have better money fights etc.
