What happened to Chad Dawson?
Is he still fighting? Having man to man conversations with Victor Ortiz?

Re: What happened to Chad Dawson?
I feel sorry for Dawson, he was done wrong in several ways.
He was deliberately head butted by Pascal when he first lost his title, at a time in the fight when Pascal was gassed and Chad was coming on strong and hurting Pascal. With a fair ref, Pascal would have been disqualified.
He was the victim of Hopkins faking an injury in their first fight, and was on the receiving end of numerous deliberate headbutts in the second fight which could have caused permanent damage. The ref in that second fight allowed Hopkins to foul as much as he wanted to without even a warning.
And then Chad was conned by Max Kellerman on HBO into agreeing to fight Ward at 168.

he had a good career and when he was prime he was one of the best LH who ever came across.
but its true, he had some bad luck. but than again, he had some great wins over quality guys, prime adamek, tarver and johnson, hopkins. i mean, thats a good career. and losing to one of the hardest hitters in lh history is no shame on that.

And what about his last fight? I really thought he COULD beat Stevenson in a rematch, or even Kovalev. And Brähmer of course, but his last fight, damn... 60yr old Hopkins would have beaten him!Chepppaaa wrote:he had a good career and when he was prime he was one of the best LH who ever came across.
