    He's barely big enough for 175 at this time.

    His body frame is slender. Look how big Holy looked at light heavy. I can't see him taking that big a punch.

    No. He's not big enough in terms of frame, his chin isn't good enough. He would probably get starched by jabs like Silence Mabuza.

    Does he have trouble making LHW? he could be a little drained? his chin might improve going up.

    He has the speed, but lacks the power.

    Dawson does not have the power or durability. Heavyweights will walk right over him.

    LOL i know right? why do people think these guys can just pack out 40 pounds and fight natural heavyweights?
    holyfield fought at 178 pounds as an amateur in 1984 and fought for 4 years at 175 and cruiser....before going up to 202 pounds as a heavyweight against quick tillis .
