    Chad Dawson

    Which direction would you like to see him take after the Pascal fight? Presuming he wins (which he should).

    At 175 there's Hopkins and Cloud, I'd really like to see him fight Hopkins, beating Hopkins would make him a bigger name, old or not...

    Should he drop to 168 like he claims he should? The super 6 winner is there and of course Bute + Pavlik. He's really on the outside looking in right now at big fights.

    I think Dawson,Hopkins,Bute and Ward could make some great fights together.

    he should drop to 168, LHW is garbage. the worst division in boxing.

    dawson is really taking a big dump with his career so far

      If Dawson can make 168 comfortably, he should go down.

      175 is a poor division at the moment where 168 is stacked with good fighters.

      I would be very surprised if he can get down to 168 without any bad effects, he is a very filled out light heavyweight as it is.

        If Cloud fights and beats Glen Johnson, that is the fight I want to see.

        I don't think he should move to 168 I think 175 is natural for him and the perfect weight.

        he's young and stars or bigger names will come to him if he keeps winning. Carl Froch already said he's moving to 175 after the tournament and I suspect others in the super six will do the same. Just be patient.

              If Cloud beats Johnson real impressively I don't know why people want to see Dawson go down to 168 when he can fight Cloud for the Ring belt. It's not like everybody is gonna stay at 168 forever after they fight each other. And who's he gonna fight? Bute? That dude is overrated.

                  Winners will too as time goes on.

                  That's his own fault for being too inactive lately. He can make his own legacy at LH by beating everyone and all contenders, etc., similar to what Hopkins did at MW or Calzaghe at 168. Again, Chad is young, he doesn't need to chase big money fights, he should focus more on building a fanbase and continue building an impressive resume.

                    175 is not nearly as bad as people like to pretend it is. Dawson is fooling himself if he thinks he's making 168 without bad side effects, the man comes into the ring 190+ for all his fights. He can fight Tavoris Cloud, Zsolt Erdei, Vyacheslav Uzelkov after he beats Shumenov, or Juergen Braehmer. 3 of those fights are unification fights, and that should be his primary goal. When he's done, guys from the Super Six will be moving up to fight him for the undisputed LHW Championship. He'll be too tempting to resist.
