Dawson says he's still willing to go down to 168...

I think Dawson beats Abraham, Froch, Dirrell and Green. He arguably loses against Bute and Ward.

I look forward to the following the schedule:

Dawson v. Pascal winner against Bute vs. Pavlik winner
And the winner of this agains winner of Super 6 (probably Ward).
This fight would determine the number 1. p4p position by the end of 2011.

 

he is the champ at 175 of course he deserves to face the champ at 168 who has yet to be determined

 

Dawson just needs to keep doing his thing at 175 and the bigger fights will come.

 

Terrible move on Dawson's part. I think he needs to stay at 175 or move up. Fighters do not generally fair well when they move down from their natural weight.

 

I see your point...

 

It does make sense.

Dawson seems to be getting a little desperate, and should be. He needs some big fights.

 

Do it Chad!!! If he wants to get recognition this is how.
He's a quality operator and I think he could beat anyone around his weight division.

 

In the past Dawson could have made the weight, but I think now he filled out to be a solid LHW and should not move down. Remember in the begining of his career he moved up and down in weight alot. in 05 he was fighting at 160. but now i hear he hydrates up to 190 pounds when fighting at 175.

 

You forgot Kessler! Ward is the only super-six fighter with only one fight so far, lets just wait before making him the tournament winner yet!

 

With Eddie Mustafa Muhammad he'd spell trouble for ALL guys at 168lbs.

 

Physically Dawson looks very good at 175, and he has been at that weight for quite awhile. I think he would be drained at 168.

 

I'd rather see Dawson move up to heavy weight.

 

He wasnt too damn good for 39 year old Johnson in the first fight.

 

It gives Bute an opponent thats credibile. The super 6 took away Bute's chance to beat some elite and get the spotlight he deserves. Dawson provides for that opponent he needs. If he beatts Dawson then he must unify with Siteglitz and beat his mando the Bika-and what ever that guys name was fight and that would be a worthy line of fights befor taking on the s6 winner for all the marbles

 

At 175 I'd favor Dawson over anyone in the Super 6, given his reach advantage over Ward. At 168, it depends on how easily he'd make weight. He was a small LHW for the first couple years but now fills it out well, so I'm not sure.
