    As you know AA has problems with keeping 160lbs limit and considers the SM division as a proper for himself, also Chad Dawson was thinking about coming into super middleweight division. So who would win ? AA or Bad Chad ? I'd pick Chad.

    I think there are two options.

    Dawson badly outboxes AA using his handspeed advantage, or AA catchs Dawson and lays him out flat.

    Bingo. The former is by far the most likely option though for me personally, as I'm sure it is with most.

    Dawson would box circles around Abraham wining by wide UD.:deal

    Dawson peppers AA until he turns into a pillar of salt.

    Ditto! If forced to choose between the two options, I would go with the first of Dawson outboxing Abraham! Dawson would have a big adavantage in speed & that could be key!

    However, Dawson sometimes seems to lose focus at times during some fights & if he were to do that against Arthur, it could be over in a flash for Chad! Abraham is very, very strong & I think he will be ba tter fighter once he moves up to SMW!

    Abraham has some serious fire power, but his effective use of that power is questionable. There is a growing list of mediocre fighters who took AA into deep water; past 10 rounds.

    Dawson is used to taking shots from guys at 175. I doubt if Arthur's power would be a factor in this one. Chad wins by a wide UD.

    And the possibility of Dawson moving down to 168 is even higher since Dawson doesn't have an ABC belt and would like to pick one up at 168.

    This would be a great fight imo. 2 of my fave fighters at the moment. I have to see how AA looks at 168 before i vote.

    This fight is all wrong to AA... ****, nobody can beat Dawson of 168's.

    What about AA catching Chad? Dawson ate bomb from Adamek and get up and continued out boxing that poor Polish.

    agreed...dawson sometimes gets sloppy w/ his defense and if aa comes uncoiled out of that turtle shell of his and catches him clean it could be lights out

    Your logic is flawed my man. Adamek knocked Cunningham down 3 times on his way to a cruiserweight title, but he could not put Chad away. Abraham would not stop Chad either.
