    No one above 168 has the skill to outbox Klitschko. If you magically manage to proportionately scale Andre Ward up to heavyweight, he's the heaviest fighter who possibly could. Chad Dawson is not more technically sound than Wlad.

    But yeah, Chad has no heart anyway, so it's a non-issue.

    I don't think that's a given at all. Dawson is a top quality fighter, but he's a tall, big light heavyweight. If he fought Wlad he'd lose advantages he's usually had in height and weight

    Also I don't believe Chad can hurt Wladimir. I wouldn't give him a hope in hell. He's not a heavyweight and nor should he be

    Do you remember when Dawson won the title? He looked so good. Then what have we seen ever since? He refused the biggest pure of he career in a fight in Transylvania. Can't imagine why. Maybe he is afraid of vampires? Then he takes a fight with Glen Johnson, performs like a bum and almost looses!

    The man very rarely feels hunger in the ring :/ I won't blame him if he's afraid of any man's head coming near his neck after the headbutt-fest last night, though.

    The key to beating Klitschko is lateral movement. That is what Sanders did to him. It's what Billy Conn did to Joe Louis. Klitschko likes his opponents to stand still and cooperate. As long as Dawson keeps moving, he wouldn't get hurt. But lets face it he didn't do that against Adrian Diaconu. He tried to lose the fight in the 12th round and took a few needless hits. By the way, after refusing to fight Diaconu in Transylvania for 1.5 mil, he takes the fight in Montreal for about one tenth the price! What does this guy have between his ears?

    Dawson's family would bet the house on Wlad.

    oh god, no. .

    i do yjink he can be a BEAST at CW, though. . with his frame, genetics, and raw speed, he would be a real beast there. . . .

    But that's years in the future. . He's still got plenty of business to handle at 175, not to mention the up-coming 168 pounders like Ward, Bute, and maybe even Kessler if he get get his name in the mix at 175.

    I'd really like to see Dawson unify 175. . . Starting with Pascal/Cloud winner. . Then hopefully SHuemnov/Cleverly will fight. . . THen let Dawson snatch up them two belts.

    definitely no UD'ing would take place. But if Bad Chad could get to that despicable jaw like a certain semi-pro golfer...
