Chad Dawson doesn't want to be called "Bad" anymore

Thank you for the perspective. I thought the most fiery moment of his career was the aftermath of the first Hopkins fight -- he really wanted to go that night. He had two great fights against Bernard, actually, just not as lively athletically as he was versus Adamek.

The Ward thing went as expected. Ward is better than Dawson on Chad's best day (no disrespect, I just think AW is the true best fighter in the world), but the weight thing was crazy. A 30-year old man who's already lean at a weight shouldn't drop to face a PfP fighter. I'll give Dawson credit for not running from a challenge, though.

Thanks for your insight here.
