As far as Vlad is concerned. He won the gold medal back in 1996, superheavyweight division. He was world military champion, world amateur champion, international champion, etc. He has been two time WBO champion, is WBO, IBF champion, IBO, and is cleaning out the top ten heavyweights. Who can claim that? He and Vitali are trying to get the WBA title, but Don King will not allow it so far.
This has to be the stupidest thing that I have read on here. Then again look who it's coming from. Why would you match up a welter weight against a light heavy weight! Is it not enough for you that he is fighting guys at 160. Why not match Dawson with one of the Klitschko's! Or better yet lets match Williams up against one of the Klitschko's. After all at 6-1 he is tall enough to be a heavy weight! :-(
I'd rather see Williams in the WW division cuz he can make the weight and he can do amazing things at 147 and 154..I DONT THINK HE'LL HAVE BUSINESS AT SMW FOR ANOTHER 4 TO 6 YEARS LET ALONE LIGHT HEAVY
We are talking about a 147/154 pounder against a natural 175 lber. This fight would be a disgrace (and an easy win for Dawson).
