What do you fellers think of Chad "Bad" Dawson?

good boxing skills but runs too much

 

All hype.
Looked like **** against Johnson.

 

You can say the same thing about Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Andre Berto, Lucian Bute, David Haye, Adrian Diaconu, Ricky Hatton, etc. Their is plenty of hype jobs in boxing today apparently.

 

Tell me about it. This guy got rope a doped and blasted out in 5 rounds by a 40 year old man. He also struggled with the very average ***omeni. Despite this, people think he's the next Roy Jones. Many fighters are going to have a bad night, that doesn't mean they're hypejobs. Hell, when Mayweather was 25 he struggled against a guy everyone thought he was going to beat as well. He turned out to be a damn good fighter.

 

One of, if not the, best light heavy in the world.

With that said, he's still young and improving, with plenty of potential. Hopefully it turns out he can handle pressure, and his chin can hold up.

 

He's a legit top 5 LHW. I was a little too rough on him and his weaknesses following the Johnson fight, and I've come around to appreciate what he can do well. I look forward to seeing him tested more in the future.
