    Great matchup but they are virtually without any fanbase. So, is it a marketable fight? :think

    Dawson is virtually unknown outside of the US-Canada.

    On a local USA scale it would perhaps be ok. Internationally Ward-Bhop would be much bigger.

    By theway.. even locally think Ward-Dawson would not do well. Even Ward's Super Six final did not do well.

    Ward would still beat him though.

    That'd be awesome. I'd pick Dawson. But you're right, both without much of a fanbase, kind of hard to sell. Good fantasy match up though. Dawson wants to go to cruiser and heavyweight in the not too distant future though. He said that on a boxing radio show around the time of his hopkins fight. Be real hard to make.

    sure, in oakland as a headliner, maybe in atlantic city if chad beats hopkins. dawson has no homebase. connecticut doesn't really support him at all. I went to dawson-johnson 2, and I see why. chad coasts too much.
