    Why, exactly, do people have it out for Chad Dawson? Genuinely curious. I'm neutral.

    I'm not sure myself. I kind of like the guy. Some people are hard on him because of his close win over Johnson, but he's not the first fighter to have a close decision go his way. Also, there are a few vocal Diaconu fans who say Dawson is ducking their guy.

    Actually, Socrates, that might be it right there, brother. This thread isn't even about Cal, and here you go putting him in it. Joe's a champion, but the world doesn't revolve around him.

    This is the part where I give you a hard time for not posting enough in GB, again. Of course, there's plenty.

    I agree, good points. However, for some reason it's turned into what appears to be full-on hate and genuine dislike. People are really ready to **** all over this kid at the slightest it seems.

    I know the 3 Diaconu fans on here don't like him because he refused to fight Diaconu. Other than that, I'm not really sure.

    I only post in here now and again as I can't be arsed arguing with 14 year old fan boys but I do lurk here quite a lot and I don't see THAT much hate for the guy? He's a little overrated IMHO based on a close win over Johnson and a clear win over the clearly shot Tarver but he doesn't attract that much hate as far as I can see?

    There is no real hate San. You have some bandwagon Dianconman fans talking, but other than that, how can you dis a man who made the fight with Dianconman where he called Dawson out, injured himself, and had to cancel the fight lol...

    Personally, out of all the "so-and-so ducked so-and-so" campaigns that people like to get on, that one has to be the most feeble.

    It's not even just the "I want to see Dawson get knocked out, I hate him" type posts from today, people in general don't seem to like Dawson - if not hate him. He gets little appreciation it seems.
