    Why won't you suggest Paul Williams vs. Ali Funeka ?
    I'd watch that.

      But this is still more interesting than some fights that could be made for Wlad.
      Indeed. You must think that Moorer beating Holyfield was particularly disgraceful, am I right?

        There is not really a comparison there, is there?

          Or Spinks beating Holmes
          Charles beating Louis

          and a handful of others. Though this fight would've carried a lot more weight before Dawson lost to Pascal. Of course a guy that Chad beat is doing pretty well at HW right now.

            The fight could happen, but itd depend on the Adamek fight. If Wlad somehow looked bad against Adamek, won a close decision or something, I could see Dawson being like...I have a better HW body than Adamek, I beat Adamek...I could do it. If Wlad pitches the shutout/knockout against Adamek (like I think he will), Bad Chad will stay below 200 at least until Bad Wlad retires.

              Dawson, I think he'd have success moving down one division to fight Bute or the winner of Super Six, but HW would be suicide for him. Steve Cunningham and Alexander Frenkel have been mentioned as small HW candidates, but I don't really believe these guys (or any active fighters close to HW range) possess enough special talent to do what Spinks, Holyfield, James Toney, or Roy Jones Jr. did.

                There isn't? How so? You said it's sad that we have to look at lighter weights to look for potential opponents for Wlad, well Holyfield was a CW and Moorer a LHW, so surely that fact was equally sad, no?

                Yep, I'm just pointing out how ****** is to say that it's sad to look at lighter weights for potential HWs, when it's been happening during the whole history of boxing.

                  I don't see a former 168lber being competitive with a heavyweight as big as Wlad, no sir.
