Only the greatest boxers lose & RISE again.

[Magnifico!]

Dawson better show and prove in the rematch

[Megamasterking]

Great for Pascal who have only 1 loss and came back winning all of his fights, just like you said : "Only the greatest boxers lose and rise again" will see about Dawson...

[Magnifico!]

I agree. just look at Amir.

But, Khan hasn't fought anyone dangerous yet.

Not taking anything away from Khan, cause I think he's the most talented at 140 but he needs to fight bigger threats.

Dawson really needs to prove himself again in the rematch

[da beatdown]

He hardly went out on his shield though. He looked disinterested, timid and lacking in ideas.

He had Pascal hurt right before they stopped it, maybe it was his strategy to come on late who knows. Its not like Dawson asked for the fight to be stopped!

[sicko]

it is not a loss Dawson "Can't bounce back from" that is for sure

but Dawson can't go backwards and he can't go for a bull**** warm up fight if Pascal decides to take another match before fighting him, if Pascal goes on to fight someone else first then Dawson should go ahead and fight Cloud, beating Cloud would also be a quick way to redeem himself

[Southpawkiller]

Every great should have a lose on their record if not your always going to get some stick for having a padded record. Dawson has only done himself a HUGE favour by the loss, he can now comeback to redeem himself at the top. It's healthy to taste defeat in your career.

I disagree...Marciano and Mayweather are 2 ATG's...and are unbeaten.

Please stop making me laugh with this nuthugging of BAD Chad Dawson...

Absolutely. This is what im trying imply to those who think Dawson is an overated fighter. Now that Dawson has tasted his first defeat, were going to see if Dawson does have the tools and ability to bounce back. Some think the loss has done more damage but I disagree.

Dawson will have to show he has the desire to reign as champion once again, that's what champions do.

I dont think that was Dawsons intention to let it go to the laters rounds. Dawson found himself in a difficult posisition late on, and realised he had turned up the gas pretty fast if he wanted to win the fight hense why he started to be very aggressive towards the 11th round, he was looking for the KO.

Dawson has the ability to bounce back! Were going to see a new Dawson in his next fight (i think).

100% true, although i'm not talking specifically about dawson, but about fighters in general. i say you can't call someone great until we see how they deal with defeat and if they can come back better and avenge the loss. i'm using one of many many examples but this one is fresh enough for all to remember, but hamed was considered the best ever rah rah rah, had one defeat and it took his fighting soul away, never to achieve anything in boxing after getting his ass handed to him, making him not great. he did great things, but not a great as far as career, poise, and perseverance; no perseverance there.

You mean Pascal did him a favor? Damn Ive never seen so many people making excuses for a fighter before. Lot of people in denial here.

The loss would do him good if he admits he lost rather than make excuses. Thats the key say I lost then fix why.

and no, it was dawsons fight to lose, he had more than enough chances to close the show or at least get a knockdown, and he didn't, for some reason dawson didn't go on the attack and didn't take advantages of the openings pascal gave to dawson. dawson's fault..........

dawson either changes his game a bit and expands his technique or he doesn't and the blue print on how to beat him is out there for all who wish to attempt to employ it............
