    Shutout? Laughable.

    If not for the false KD awarded to Dawson, the scores would have been competetive, as was the fight. Well, the last 3 rounds anyway. :yep

    He owes him because if I remember, Dawson was a voluntary defence for Adamek. Adamek gave Dawson a shot, normally you return the champ the favour.

    please rewatch the fight dude, the knockdown wasn't false first of all, secondly Adamek scored a flash KD of his own. Please go back and watch the fight and tell me it was competitive, Adamek won no more than 2 rounds and barely

    Glen Johnson is fighting Yusaf Mack for the IBF eliminator. If Dawson fights Cloud for the IBF title, and Glen Johnson beats Mack, you can bet the IBF will force Dawson to fight Johnson again.

    Nobodie's disputing his ability as a fighter, but he can't sell tickets. Even as a now established world-class fighter, perhaps even 'elite' and being the best or certainly top 2 in his division, he isn't a crowd-drawer.

    He hasn't established himself yet. He should of fought Adrian Diaconu instead of Glen Johnson in March 2008. Chad Dawson should of dropped the WBC title and rematched Glen Johnson right away in 2008.

    Despite Tarver being a high ranked LHW, those wins didn't do anything to boost his popularity because he took a shortcut to fight Tarver.

    Fans want a boxer who is more active and never ducking anybody, and Dawson doesn't fit those credentials which is why he's not popular with the mainstream yet. Until Dawson is committing to getting in the ring more often and fighting the best opponents available, he WILL NEVER achieve the popular he wants.

    Dawson will never become a big star in the sport. Boring personality and not a highly entertaining fighter to watch.

    It's not that he's boring, he's just being a ***** about trying to get fights that are not reachable (Hopkins, Calzaghe, going down to SMW), not to mention his promoter is an *******. All of that is hindering his popularity.
