No, he will never become p4p. He's simply too old.

No....................

Only if Kovalev should be P4P top 10 for beating Campillo

[DARKSEID]

Yes, his defense is almost flawless.

It doesn't matter how old he is. You can't beat what you can't hit.

He was beat in his last legitimate challenge.

Arguably. Neither of them landed(or threw) much, and Chad Dawson is a tremendous physical specimen with the best training you can get in the game and a severe reach and youth advantage.

Chad Dawson should be so much more than he was, but you need Mental Toughness in this sport.

[Robbie Barrett]

He beat one of the weakest title holders in history. The guy doesn't even have a trainer he trains himself.

"Now?" Meaning, because he recently dominated an opponent with a Pro record of 15 fights and whose never had a boxing trainer (Self-taught).

Absolutely Not!!!!






Side Note: I don't want to seem dismissive of self-taught individuals, because I am not. Every self-taught craftsman has benefited greatly from mentors and or trainers at some point in their career. You would be hard pressed to find a professional in any profession, that was self-taught throughout their whole career.
