I'm tired of Dawson fighting old men. I'll admit a win over Hopkins would be big but Hopkins shows no interest. Dawson impressed me over Adamek and I feel there's no one else for him to fight except Cloud.
Cloud has no defense and Woods could hit him at will with his jab. Dawson would thoroughly outbox cloud and make him look stupid. Cloud has never fought a slick fighter with polished boxing skills, and Dawson is a level higher than Cloud.
It's all well and good saying Chad would beat him by comfortable UD. And he probably would. But who else is there? It's not like we were sitting here months ago saying 'I wonder if he'll beat Tarver or Johnson'. We all knew he would, he should still fighting the likes of Cloud and Pascal even if they are comfortable victories because they are better at this point than the two fore-mentioned fighters. They are among the best in his weight-class so he should step into the ring with them.
Are we forgetting that Cloud is the IBF Light Heavyweight Champ right now. Who is going to test him??? Cloud felt that Woods couldn't hurt him that's why he got hit with those powder puff jabs.
