    Lets Petition To Change Dawson's Moniker...

    Well he goes by "Bad" Chad Dawson but nothing about him is such. No badboy image, not dangerous or vicious inside the ring, hell , I know slang-wise "bad" means "good" but noone uses that anymore. Simply put, bad rhymes with chad...lol

    So lets give him a moniker that really fits and describes him or his style of boxing like "Dynamic" Chad Dawson, "Classy" Chad Dawson, Chad "The Scalpel"
    or "Blade" Dawson.....Once he gets to the top of the p4p charts I'll call him"Illustrious" Chad Dawson. So many names are better than "bad".

    Remember when HBO tried to make Lennox Lewis "The Lion" or "Double L", lol only so few nicknames are naturals such as "Iron" Mike Tyson, "Sugar" Ray Robinson & Leonard, "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler. See my point the only nicknames that get attention are those that fit with those charismatic fighters, Dawson is not very charismatic.

          Maybe He should just drop the nickname all together then. Bad is corny to me.

                He already had that and he dropped it. It didn't rhyme perfectly but it was much better than "Bad". How about Chad The Surgeon Dawson.

                  It annoys me how fighters (or promotors, TV companies etc) think they have to have a nickname. It gets to the point when I actually find fighters without nicknames more memorable. Only a very few nicknames are really memorable, the classic ones like Iron and Sugar, the unusual ones like Pacman or Lights Out, or the plain daft ones like Ding-a-Ling Man. The generic crap like The Nightmare, The White Lion, The Hitter etc just get on my nerves. And why hasn't Arreola taken on the ******* nickname yet? It's more suitable than ever now.

                  Aaaanyway... I personally think Bad Chad Dawson works just fine. It's short, to the point and rhymes. Sure it might not match his style or personality but which nicknames do nowadays?
