Should Chad Dawson be voted into the Hall of Fame?

The standards of the boxing HOF are very low, this is true - but I surely hope not THAT low.

 

No

 

Nope.

His career should have gone much better but it went off the rails at some point. Shame really after he beat Adamek I expected more from him.

 

Well his resume was p4p solid by the time he beat Hopkins but never HOF worthy.

 

Maybe in the hall of shame.

 

I voted yes, a very good fighter who beat Hopkins easily.

Screwed up by going down to 168.

 

After his performance last night the hall of shame is more apt.
He got BEAT plain & simple. Sure he hurt his shoulder ,or claimed to, but it sure didn't stop him trying his throw downs WWE style. He tried twice to pick up Karpency like he did Hopkins to throw him down.
What a cry baby :|:| You lost take it like a man. Karpency deserved the win

 

I wouldn't say easy but he did deserve that win Wasn't Nard's best night

 

For what? The only achievement that makes he stand out from any other short term strap holder is beating Hopkins.

Hopkins may be a legend, and beating him is something not many have done, but that alone does not a HOFer make, IMO.

I'm have to assume that thread was started in a cynical frame of mind however, given Chad's loss to the very average Karpency last night.

 

You joking right?

 

Why not? There are Brittards on this forum making a case for Ricky Hatton and his call to fame was fouling a past his Kostya Tszyu into retirement.

 

If Ken Norton can make it, then yes vote in dawson.

 

Norton has a win over the greatest heavyweight of all time and arguably beat him 3 times, aswell as losing a close fight against another great in Larry Holmes, nobody will be talking about Chad dawson in ten years time.
