    Last I heard he signed with Al Haymon... but not a peep since then.

    I agree; good fights out there for Dawson. I'd say every fight at 175 is highly winnable for him, if not one where he should be favored, with the exception of Kovalev and an Adonis rematch.

    if he has anything left, he can still be a top 10 LHW, but I highly doubt he can still pull himself together from the Ward and Stevenson losses to win a belt, particularly the Stevenson KO must have taken a lot out of him for him to go this long without a comeback fight

    Looked like a zombie vs Stevenson

    Needs a couple of confidence building wins

    Then throw him back in with the **** master

    And let him destroy that criminal

    Chad Dawson needs to go back to Mayweather Sr and stop changing trainers every other fight.

    It's up to him. His trainer for a short time John Scully said he thought he was done and it would be a long road back. I agree it would be a long road back but maybe not as long as one would think. And I disagree thinking that Dawson is done. Scully wasn't saying that when Dawson beat Hopkins.

    He could fight Bute and the loser retires right into oblivion.

    He is done. Perhaps a rematch with Hopkins is his best shot at a title. Kovalev kills him

    He is done. His skills have eroded over the years by switching trainers too many times. This was evident when he went from Floyd Sr to Eddie Muhammad. Every fight under Eddie Muhammad he looked like garbage. It's not to say EM is a bad trainer, but EM is just not the right trainer for him. Same thing can be said about John Scully.

    Dawson had the physical skills and the talent to be a great fighter, but he doesn't have the mental toughness nor the right attitude to be a great fighter. Promoters are not exactly excited about promoting his fights knowing that he is a liar, he constantly underperforms, and he cannot be trusted. The ****ing moron was blaming HBO on his loss to Ward! Can you believe that ****?
