    Dawson has the body type to get to 210-220. He could easily fill out, if he did it right, of course. (IE: Not eating cheeseburgers to get to Heavyweight)

    And he'd do fine. He do just as well, as say, an Alexander Povetkin. He could be a titleholder, top 10 guy, but couldn't beat either Klitschko.

    I think he would do great. top 10 easy

    Holyfield, Michael Moorer, Adamek, Haye, Huck, Chris Byrd, Eddie Chambers have all done OK

    Virgil Hill likes to tell people that Andre Ward will be HW Champion.

    Emmanuel Steward worked with Dawson and said he only sees him fighting at smw, lhw, and cruiserweight.

    Maybe Dawson will become a heavy in his mid 30s as suggested above, but he's not likely to become a champ in a division with Klitschko size heavies.

    If he makes the most of his ability Dawson should win a cruiser belt someday.

    If Dawson moved to HW he'd TKO Wlad in 4 rounds max.


    Wlad has a chin made of cardboard

    If Wlad got a tan, turned soutpaw and fought with a touch of the flu, he'd be Chad Dawson.

    He would box big gigantic crop circles around any Heavyweight currently ranked in the top 10 outside of Wlad.

    His chin wouldn't hold up against Wlad/Vitali. He could win a trinket belt from Povetkig, but that would be about as meaningful as Roy Jones beating Ruiz.

    Here we are again about Chad Dawson?

    When he came out, many of you idiots baptized him like the second coming of Jesus H. Christ. Then he fizzled out like he is supposed to.

    He does not have a killer instinct and way hell boring as a fighter. Infact,if gayweather is so boring, Dawson raised it even more to a different level.

    Big Dawson fan, but he would not do well at HW. I don't even think he would do that well at CW.

    he would outbox wlad and haye, KO vitali and chisora, but lose to Tyson Fury.
