Chad Dawson...why aren't people sold?

I thought the Tarver rematch was very mediocre. I never followed Chad, that was the first fight I watched of his and was left feeling very unsatisfied especially from all the hype. It could be a case of only fighting to the ability that is necessary, but I don't know wasn't blown away.

Wow, after reading the few posts on here I am amazed that people are actually saying what they are. His chin? Tarver fight was mediocre? All Dawson has done is win no matter who is in front of him. Look at his young resume and it is better than any of the young guys right now. I don't know how his chin is still in question or what was he suppose to do to Tarver but he is 4-0 against the likes of Glen Johnson, Antonio Tarver(only one to beat him twice), and Tomaz Adamek(only one to beat him at all). Aside from BHop those are the best names around light heavy. Man, I hate to see Dawson actually lose a fight. People will probably completely ignore his great wins and say "see I knew he was not that good" after one loss. If people can be all over Berto as the next great thing then look at what Dawson has done already. He is well beyond Berto thus far. Dawson is the real deal.

Dawson needs to beat the legends to get some notice Jones and B Hop. In order to fight these guys he has to clean up the division and give them no excuse to fight him, which he is capable of.

I very much dislike Berto as well.

Well for me he's a 1 handed fighter and even with that hand he has little power.

It would have been nice had Dawson been involved in the 168 tourney.

I like the guy, but he's not fighting anyone flashy..Glenn Johnson And he needs a rematch to really beat him soundly? If he fought Tavoris Cloud and whipped him bad, I think he'd get a load more respect.

Adamek, Johnson, and Tarver are way more proven then Tavoris Cloud who IMO is the last guy Dawson should be facing.

If you think Dawson has one punch maybe you should watch his fight against Adamek. He has a great cross to go along with that right hook ,and he throws great combinations which requires both hands.

People arnt buying because people would rather take their naps to a good western movie than watch a dawson fight! Im sorry but the guy is the most nonentertaining champion ive watched in a long time (in and out of the ring). Im not saying you have to be a big trash talker but if you have boring fights at least back them up with a flashy personality. He doesnt knock guys out and when he gets ahead on points he stops fighting for the most part. When I think Chad dawson fight, I thi..tha...thiiii....zzzzzzz!

Dawson's got all the talent in the world but he's just not that fun to watch. To me, he seems lazy and overly cautious in the ring. Somebody mentioned Berto, well I'm not a huge Berto fan, but his fights are much more enjoyable than Dawson's. He comes to fight.
