Do you know much about Chad Dawson? If so, how good is he?

I was responding to the knob, Gaz

Forgot to 'quote'

Forgive me

 

hes the truth.

fast strong moves well young and alot of potential

 

Ah well

The great man gets so much disrespect in these quarters, it's hard to detect sarcasm

 

No

 

I put a <wink> at the end of the post to indicate I was just having a little joke with Decebal...we had a discussion on Dawson-Calzaghe in another thread where I asked whether Dawson had proven himself enough to get a Calzaghe fight. Decebal thinks so, I think not.

I know sarcasm doesn't always come across in the written word but that one was pretty easy to spot IMHO.atsch

 

Bad Chad is a future ATG. He is big, strong, has an extensive amatuer background, and the best right hook I have ever seen a southpaw throw. His left is mean and he can box! Dude's been fighting since he was like 2 years old, yeah Calzaghe better be afraid. Chad wins that one too btw. And I like Calzaghe alot! he's a ****ing beast himself, I just think his weakness is gonna be another southpaw.

 

Uh........what about Floyd?

 

he fights at welterweight...atsch

 

Yeah, no ****, so you think Dawson is more skilled than him?

 

From what I've seen I think Dawson is more skilled than Mayweather.

 

That chin is going to get really tested alot more at HW.

Which I doubt will be able to hold.

 

Chad Dawson is one of the best young talents in boxing right now. He'll be the man at 175 when Hopkins retires and the man at 168 when Joe retires because I don't think neither will fight him. I have him ranked in my top 10 P4P.

 

I think Chad has some amazing physical gifts.

My only concern about him is his chin.

I don't think it's china, but is it good enough to be an elite?

Zak and Amsterdam would be a more credible source for that information.
