    Exactly this ^^^^^^^^^^^

    Chad came outta the corner for Round one like he was the PUNCHER in that fight....I swear on my son's life....after the first small exchange I knew Chad was gonna get caught....I even turned to my big bro and asked him why is Chad fighting like that and then boom!!....smh

      One week ago, Dawson said he needs a promoter -- any promoter... Now he reiterates. He uses the Internet in order to find promoters...
      No promoter showed so far.

        Some of that has to do with Cloud's lack of skill though.

          Of the 3 men, (2) offically who have beaten Cloud, Adonis was by far thee most dominating.

            Cloud was never a "great" fighter - I woudn't put too much clout on that win. Personally Cloud was never on "that" level even when the "mix" a few years back was Dawson, Pascal, Hopkins, Cloud. He was the lesser of the four.

            I think Stevenson is dangerous for that display of power. So while I am a Dawson fan, I'd be going out on a limb saying it's winnable fight. I think if Dawson comes in with a game plan and sticks to it - it's possible.

                  Stevenson showed unbelievable defense and boxing abilty vs Cloud. he was more effective than even B-Hop was against the same fighter. That says alot.

                      In all honesty, Dawson not fighting a lot every year was not due to his promoters, it was due to him being in taxing fights. In his last 10 fights he's 6-3-1 with 5 wins by unanimous decision, 1 by majority, 1 no contest, 1 unanimous decision loss and 2 TKO losses. That is not a fighter who's problem is only fighting once or twice a year, that is simply an issue of not performing well. Stevenson's last 10 fights he's 9 - 1 with all 9 wins by stoppage and the loss (also a stoppage) coming before all of them. So yah Stevenson has been more active because he's been ploughing through the competition and not taking as much damage in his fights. Nice try though Chad.
