    Have I ever claimed to be a strength and conditioning Guru?

    Floyd only talked **** about him after he got his ass fired and Floyd Jr was still praising him.

    He had 2 fights and one good win with sr, Chad was bad Chad under Dan Birmingham and before that iceman John scully.

    He would make a good tuneup comeback match for Dirrell

    No, I don't believe so. I was just pointing out that your conditioning methods are ridiculous.

    Ha!

    I assume this would be at 175... He'd beat the living **** out of Dirrell. Dirrell has fought, what? Once or twice over the past two and a half years. He beat an undersized, turtle shell Abraham and boxed Froch well, if you take away the hundred clinches, literally hundred.

    He looked good under Birmingham, but under Floyd Sr he looked multi-dimensional. He showed a lot more lateral movement under Sr, his left hand improved a lot too. After the Adamek fight, Dawson admitted that Floyd Sr. pushed him hard, and the results speak for itself.

    I think Dawson's talent is right up there with the best in boxing today. Unfortunately he seems mentally weak, the decisions he's made in his career were not good ones, and it has effected his performance in the ring. I never knew he switched trainers so many times, even before he hired Sr.

    He didn't look good under Muhammad at all. His fights against Tarver, Johnson and the loss to Pascal were lackluster. The Tarver fights were just :patsch.

    How can Dawson be proud of those wins, and he dropped the WBC belt to fight Tarver too.

    Sometimes the pride of a fighter makes them set the issue with their trainers, instead of themselves, when they come up short. I think that's all this is. You convince yourself it's not you. I think it's basically what Khan did, recently, and will likely do again. I think Dawson will do it again. It certainly doesn't make a fan out of me but if you're judging people on the norm, I think this is a normal, run-of-the-mill error for fighters, at least. Eddie and John are both good trainers and Dawson's a good boxer, you can't make a good or very good fighter be great with sheer will. The chips must fall where they may. Dawson doesn't have greatness in him so nobody can bring it out. He's going to win some and lose some at this level, regardless of who's training him. He will not be a dominant force, I'm almost certain. It's just not there.

    It would appear that everyone can see the obvious apart from Chad,and I thought it was poor form to make the snide comments he did about John Scully.
    You'd think he would discuss it before putting the news online and if John was so bad,why did he go back?
    The Hopkins victory will go down as one of his most significant, regardless of Bernard's age,so why does he pull this after a loss that no trainer could have changed?

    Dawson sounded like he went back to Scully because 'he knows him best and lets him do his own thing'. Then when he loses he implies that he's too advanced for a simple trainer like Scully. When a trainer like Floyd sr. tells him what to do he doesn't listen or like to be told what to do. The fool doesn't know what he wants and changes his story all the time, looking for anyone to blame other than himself.
    When he's winning he doesn't like to be told what to do and when he loses he wants to be held by the hand.

    Well if a fighter is regualry changing trainers I think the fighter puts alot of blame on them.

    He should stay with scully and put the blame on himself.
