LOL the interview is from FightHype. Here's the interview

If the link don't work just google "Fighthype Chad Dawson ******"

Floyd Sr. made a joke, thought it was funny, and got carried away.

Dawson does have a defeatist attitude though, I wonder if he was picked on in school or the household growing up.

[ShoulderRoll]

What was turning out to be a good second half of the year for boxing has been partially ruined with injuries and cancellations already.

I hope Chad won't add to that by pulling out.

I have perfect person for Chad Dawson, his name is Teddy Atlas. They are meant for each other, both mental midgets with huge ego's

If you want to make something plural, just add an "s" at the end...ironic how you called them both mental midgets...

Hope he's going to be ready so the fight happens as scheduled...

When it comes to Floyd Sr. you never know when he's serious and when he's joking. Floyd Sr. also says a lot of things in a funny way and in this case I don't think that was a joke.

That wasn't it. Floyd Sr. had an interview on BoxingScene where he told Chad that he couldn't bring his girlfriend to every training session to hang out with him. He said the Dawson wouldn't full concentrate on his training and after Floyd Sr. told him that she couldn't come to the gym, Dawson left him.

who can he get in such short timing?

good
Steward woulda only made him even more boring than he already is
Hopkins probably too old to beat Dawson regardless of who trains him
anticipating a Dawson UD
just hoping he doesn't stink the fight out

Does this sound familiar at all?

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

No fighter aside from taller than average HWs will enjoy long term success under the tutelage of Emanuel Steward.

Dawson is setting himself up for a loss messing with Manny. I know he's got all kinds of praise and accolades but I've seen the hand of this man turn talented fighters into stiff robots who overly-rely on their jabs and have no real answer to full on straightforward aggression.

Lewis and the Klitschkos have something that other fighters don't have: Height and longer than average arms to create cushion from which to work from. I've watched as Steward tried to make Prince Naseem fight like Lewis and the results were disastrous.

Only a few stay with Steward long term and there is a very good reason for that. Aside from the HW giants, he's never had another Tommy Hearns, or anything close to him. And even then Hearns was tall for a WW.

We'll see. I really wish Dawson the best and hope that I am wrong.
