    Is Chad Dawson a HOF'er?

    Holds wins over:

    Harding
    Adamek
    Johnson x2
    Tarver x2
    Diaconu
    Hopkins

    I don't think he is, but some might feel otherwise. Your thoughts?

      Nope. Good fighter for a short period of time, not a hall of famer

          Bad Chad was very good but his short longevity is his downfall. He never should have fought ward at 168, that was ******. He also fought old men at 175 (not by choice, I know as Tarver and Hopkins where mandos). I like him but not HOF

            Chad was real good at his best, man, but he always blew a bit hot and cold - probably due to reported training and commitment issues. Fabulous raw talent though. Ida said he was heading HoFwards prior to the Ward loss (Chad really dropped the ball there agreeing to go down to 68) but after that it pretty much went to **** and his later losses, especially to dudes like Karpency and Fonfara just weigh too heavy I think. I say it's pretty unlikely TBH, but as ever it does kinda depend who's running against him. Damn shame how things turned out for him though.

              Hall of fame?
              No.
              His downfall started with the Ward fight.
              That was just plain dumb.
              When he was good. The man was good. But when he was not, man he was not!
              Hall of fame worthy? i have to say no.

                No way
                To bad cause he seemed like a special fighter
                I was at the fight when Stevenson knocked him out
                He seemed like a dear caught in the headlights

                  He’s a two time lineal light heavyweight champion. I think he’ll definitely get in.
