Comments Thread For: Dawson vs Pascal Approved For Calzaghe's Ring Title

[warp1432]

Cotto doesn't get much credit for beating a handicapped fighter. And how do we know that won't be the case with this fight with Pascal coming off that shoulder surgery? The date has had to be pushed back for this fight like two or three times because of that. I will concede though if Cloud wouldn't have done that thing of signing with Don King and postponing that fight with that so called hamstring injury with Johnson Chad might've had to fight him for the Ring belt. Cloud really has himself to blame for that I will admit. But I think Ring probably would've pulled this bull**** anyway.

Because Dawson was already scheduled to fight Pascal before the injury. Dawson isn't hand picking him over anyone else. Pascal was the only one willing to fight him.

And don't give me Cloud because he would have pulled the same bull**** with Chad like he did with Glen.

People want Dawson to fight Cloud(as do I) but after he beats him what shall they say? Hopefully Dawson moves down and gets some great bouts in with that stacked division.

It's not so much that I have got a big problem with Dawson fighting Pascal because I don't even though I admit I kind of acted like I did in the past. I just don't like of how he's not mentioning Cloud's name at all and is willing to go as far as moving out of the division to keep from fighting him.

So what it boils down to once Dawson wins the title it is going to become vacant again and we'll be right back to square one. Great. I know 175 isn't the strongest division. But you've still got young prospects there like Cleverly that may become a force in the future unless he's overhyped like Mitchell was which is more likely the case I'll concede.

I like Cloud and want to see him match up with Dawson.

Dawson just pisses me off.

If he'd just mention Cloud as a possible opponent in the future instead of totally ignoring him then I would get off his back until we see what Johnson can do against him.

Well after fighting Pascal and winning why not drop down to the more stacked division? I'd take Ward, Dirrell, Kessler >>>>> Cloud anyday.

Newflash. Those guys are tied up in a tournament right now. It's gonna take about another year and a half to get it sorted out. So is Dawson gonna wait until then? And I gave my opinion about Bute. I think he's one of the most overrated fighters on this forum.

IF Dawson beats Cloud then Dawson should get major props and say he cleared the division.

Hopefully Dawson moves down and gets some great bouts in with that stacked division.

If dawson wins those fights (pascal & cloud) why should he go down? Many of the super six guys will be going up in weight. Froch already said he's gonna go up after the tournament. I can see both Ward & Dirrell going up too and Bute has fought at LH.

Dawson is young. Big fights will come to him. He should make his own legacy, do like what Bernard Hopkins did - clean out the division, unify and the big fights come eventually. Now he's considered one of the greatest MW of all time. Dawson could do that at LH (if he keeps winning of course).

Finally!!! the is winner is without a doubt the man at 175 all challengers after this are exactly that as far as the winner is concerned.

Honestly I think Dawson WOULD look into fighting Bute more than Cloud.

Fighting Bute and winning would equal more recognition and more money.

I'm not saying Cloud is an easier challenge, but I just see Dawson fighting Bute instead of Cloud.
