    Yes. I think he would be top 10 for sure and the money would be much bigger than they are at LHW (and especially than CW which is a wasteland).

    He was 190+ in the 2nd Glen Johnson fight. He might not walk around much lighter than 200 lbs anyway.

    No. Cruiser is the highest he should go, if he were in fact considering moving up a class.

    Not a chance, I dont think he would deal with a heavyweights power very well.

    he's been floored at LHW by Adamek, who's not known for his punching power

    at HW he'd have no chance, especially with a puncher

    The guy has no power at lhw, and is way too passive of a fighter. Talented but not nearly as talented as he have need to be to have a shot at heavyweight.. no power no shot

    I think the question is what would Chad Dawson do when he gets hit by a HW punch.

    Option A. Run Away
    Option B. Give up
    Option C. Complain to the ref
