    Chad Dawson doesn't want it anymore

    I just don't see the fire in this guy anymore. Why isn't he going apeshi t to get the Pascal fight? Why hasn't he kept busy to stay sharp? Why does he fight only 1 or maybe 2 times a year?

    Maybe he's bored having all these rematches, maybe he's comfortable with his dough, maybe he's just not the firey type, but I just don't see the same guy that put it on adamek. I don't see the guy that used to go for ko's before he got on hbo.

    He is not that type of guy though he is very low key.


    I would have to watch his next fight or couple fights to really assess that.

        Dawson always struck me as a guy who is not a go getter. He doesn't have the mindset to be the best. I mean you can see it in the pascal fight when he had pascal ready to go a couple of times and he doesn't step on the pedal.

          Dawson just keeps quiet and gets the work done.

          He has had one off night and will go and correct that later on.

            I'd say he's had more than one off night. Glen Johnson 1 comes to mind. He also doesn't get the work done with fire, which I think is shown by the fact he has very few fans that pay to see him fight.

            He's not really trying to show he wants it. He hasn't fought since Pascal, which he could have done to make a statement. Him and his team are pretty damn quiet about the bhop rematch.

            If you're gonna keep quiet, you better speak loudly with your fists. He's been on the gravy train and is acting soft.

              ok, so you'll get back to me in a few yrs. He probably won't fight till after pascal-Hopkins. Unless hbo does something ******.

                The post fight interview of the Pascal fight says it all. He said I don't care I lost cause I got a rematch clause. Real talk of a spoiled, pampered pussy.

                    I suggest you read or listen to a recent radio interview of Dawson that appeared on esb

                    not that I necessarily disagree, but the guy sounds like he wants to bounce back strong
