Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson Eyes Lucian Bute, Cloud, Calzaghe Too

[Spray_resistant]

Honestly, Cloud is the only fight out there I care to see. I want to see him in a tough fight.

He got two pretty big paydays against tarvar and one against Johnson. HBO paid A LOT for the 2nd, unwanted by anyone tarvar fight.

None of the fights sold any seats, and all 3 were boring. If he fights in another 1 sided boring fight HBO will probably let him go. And IMO to be in a good entertaining fight, he needs Cloud.

If Cloud isn't taken into deep waters and drowned this Saturday, Chad is taking over the world at SMW/LHW.

I'm sorry but I'm hoping Pascal beats Dawson. He's a great boxer and all but I've fallen asleep watching his last couple fights

[the mesiah]

If dre keeps improving,I can see him giving bad Chad a good run. I can see them fighting in a telephone booth, both have great generalship and would be tough to pick.

Chad Dawson is the best boxer on the planet not named Floyd Mayweather. He would beat anyone in or around his weight

I must Co-Sign this post. It is 100% accurate.

Johnson already did.

If it does not relect in Boxrec then it didn't happen Iceta. Now ofcourse you can say you felt he was robbed(Johnson), but to say he beat Chad is false as that is not the decision that was handed down. I think Sweet Pea beat JCC Sr. But thats not what reflects in the records. I think Ike Quartey handed ODH his 1st L, but again that's not what is reflected in the records, I think Felix Strum blew ODH out of the water, but It's still a W in ODH's win column. See where I'm goin with this? As much as I like to give fighters credit for their work inbetween the ropes, I still have to look at things in black and white otherwise the wins and loses mean nothing as everyone has their own opinion.

I'm not saying that I don't think Dawson is any good. I just think it is ****** to even mention Calzaghe at all at this point. I give him credit for fighting Pascal and mentioning Cloud though. He should go after Shumenov or Murat or Cloud. If he winds up seeking another over the hill guy, I'm through with him. I realize that his division is ind of weak but he fights like once a year and for the past 2 years, has not faced a fresh guy. It seems like forever since the Adamek fight.

Mathed, when Chad stepped in the LHW division, it was ran by these so called "over the hill" guys. You mention Shumenov; good fighter he just had a nice outing not too long ago, but Shumenov is still fighting on FNF, he's not of the calibre to get in the ring with Chad yet. Cloud only has strength, youth, and speed working for him. His Boxing IQ and ring experiance comes up short compared to Chad.

Everybody is mentioning Bute, and with good reason. He is aurguably the best at 168, but the 1st Andrade fight showed alot of flaws in Bute. And it seems that most are forgetting that Edison Miranda(before he got careless directly infront of Bute) was uncharacteristicly outboxing Bute to some degree. We're talking about Edison Miranda folks!!!!!!!! I mean Edison is not the most technically sound fighter to grace our presence from 160-168, and the only reason he didn't go the distance with Bute is because he stood infront of Bute with his hands all the way down by his knees and dared Bute to hit him, and got his clock cleaned for it. By far the most ******ed thing I've ever seen take place in a Championship fight, and I've been avidly watching Boxing since '81 or so. Bute is one hell of a fighter, but lets save all the "thataboys" for him till he face's grade "A" comp not "B" level comp(which is what he's been up against), unfortunately most of the "A" comp is currently engaged in a Super Six Tourny, so it'll be awhile before we see Bute up against "A" calibre type fighters.

Bute wouldn't get past Ward let alone Dawson.

Joke is too busy snorting Coke and kissing his sister.

I doubt Calzaghe would come back soon, if at all.

I'd like to see Dawson fight Cloud, if Cloud beats Johnson. If not, go for the Bute fight.
