I can see this fight happening (providing he beats Hopkins) maybe in about two years, he could make the jump up to HW...I think it'd be a fairly competetive fight given Chad's boxing skill and size. I mean people have mentioned Tarver vs Wlad so I don't see what would be soo wrong with Chad vs Wlad :think
A fight with Dawson and Wladimir would have been more competetive than the Mormeck fight but that isn't saying much.
I dont think he can handle the power, but he wouldnt do much worse than most heavyweights nowadays. Dawson has great skills atleast.
Exactly, if his chin could handle atleast some HW power then he'd have atleast a good a chance as anyone else in the division currently.
Even a blocked punch would send him tumbling, i mean look at Adamek who has bulkedup considerebly he just is not a real heavy. Add to that Dawson is a small light heavy, i think he would struggle at cruiser tbh let alone fighting a guy that is a lean natural 240lb super heavy. That said watching Dawson is about the most boring thing in boxing right now and a vicious KO might send him into retirement so im all for it. Make the fight!
