    If Chad Dawson had the mind to. Trained properly to put on the weight. He'd easily be America's best heavyweight. A green Chad Dawson schooled Adamek easily. I think he'd school Arreola and Chambers.


    Chad Dawson should have 2-3 more fights at light heavy, and if he's smart, move up and cash out at Heavyweight.

    Let's not go overboard there, bro. Chad certainly won the fight, but it was far more competitive than a schooling.

    No chance.

    People would ignore Chambers like they ignored Rahman when Arum said he was our "Last line of defense" right before he lost to Maskaev for the second time. He doesn't look the part and he certainly isn't entertaining to watch.

    Maybe if Deontay Wilder ended up destroying real fighters like he's been doing to the tomato cans he's facing it might get some attention, but that's highly unlikely. Most American fans seem to want to watch heavyweights get beat up and knocked out in spectacular fashion. I don't think any of these guys today can do that.
