What are Dawson's options now?

Anyone else think that naming his child "Royal Tiger Champ Dawson" was an odd choice, or is it just me?

 

still mad he blazed your boy Adamek?

 

ANDRE DAWSON??? well he got into the HOF today so his options are endless. Good job Hawk!

Chad is an incredible fighter, its too bad not enough boxing fans can appreciate what he does in the ring. But if anything is to blame for his lack of popularity, and little bit of disdain as I can gather in some of you guys' posts, its been his managment and matchmaking. He spent 2 years fighting 40 year olds, in what weren't crowd pleasing fights.


Personally I'd say he should fight Tavoris Cloud in March. Chad is a natural counterpuncher and a guy like Cloud who barrels forward would be best to make it a fight that casual fight fans would enjoy. It would be an EASY, EASY fight for Chad- another belt and another nice look for his record.

After that he should fight Pascal in August, another belt and another exciting fight. After that......I guess thats when you begin moving classes

 

Annnd then you woke up

 

Seriously?

Not being one of the most popular fighters out there doesn't mean people don't want to watch him fight. He's a very good fighter in a somewhat weak division, great speed and footwork, respectable power and hard to hit. Very difficult to beat and his second fight with Johnson was a masterpiece imo.

On topic, I agree with Pimp C, just stay busy vs a decent opponent and wait for Pascal/Cloud.

 

the Cloud fight can happen now, I'd really like to see that one signed for March or so.

 

I would love to see him fight Cloud. Dawosn and Cloud are in the top 4 of fighters in the division and a fight between them would pretty much tell us who is the best at LHW.

 

just out of curiosity because i dont actually know

what are these ****ed up IBF rules?

 

Yes, seriously. He had two fights with Tarver which didn't manage 3000 ticket sales combined. Then he fought Johnson in his own hometown which again did atrocious ticket sales and the people who did turn up spent much of the fight booing Dawson.

 

To be honest I think Pascal and Cloud should be stay busy fights for Dawson, not something he's looking forward to.

There's just noone for him to fight. He will have to move down to 168 or up to 200. Personally I think he should offer Adamek the rematch at 200, whup him again, and use that to create some interest in himself. Treading old ground, but what else?
