Damn, Chad got one punched

That pretty much wraps up his career as a top fighter (at least in terms of paychecks)


Anyway, Hopkins vs. Stevenson just became a huge fight at 175.
"Can ___________ be the first to knock B-Hop out?" is always a big seller

I wouldnt say it wraps up his career based on the KO. Lennox got KTFO twice too...the difference is....Chad dont have an Emanuel Steward anymore and he changes trainers too much and wants them to coddle him instead of looking in the mirror and having the fortitude to clamp down and work and accept criticism and tough love in camp. I dont feel Chad "wants" to be great like Lennox did. Chad like a lot of other guys are content with making their money. For that...I cant be too critical though.

Someone please let me know when the maidana lopez fight is online for stream

 

[yawn]

he aint even ortiz status. ortiz is coming off dancing with the stars and is with goldenboy, he has options and is a bigger name than dawson.

dawson in that rematch with glen johnson in his hometown sold like 1500 tickets even worse than that he got booed he has to take RISK from this point on. wtf can shaw do for him.

He has a lot of options because he's looked so bad recently. Euros wont be afraid anymore So he could fight their overrated contenders.
He could face the loser of Pascal vs Bute with winner getting Stevenson. He's undercard status now but if he dropped to 168 he could feast on the light hitters there

Hometown fighter only sold 1500 tickets to a title fight and he complained about fighting Ward in Oakland which was a sell out

he's a curse to himself. this is why Floyd, B-Hop, etc...dont take risks like that...no matter what the fans say. when you are not terribly exciting... you need to keep winning at all costs.

say Chad gets a rematch. then he stinks the joint out in a decision against Stevenson...a fight he can easily win by boxing but wont look good doing it. or he takes chances and goes to war with Stevenson...and we know how that will play out.

he basically has to fight himself back into a championship position...which means he will be on some undercards now. he can still make some money. He is basically a less exciting, less flamboyant version of Zab at this point. for whatever thats worth.

SMH @ Chad disagreeing with the stoppage. The ref saved his life. He was wobbly when he got up.

168 would be a mistake IMO. unless he is willing to take short money to go over and face Froch. he needs to be Winky Wright 2.0 he needs to go overseas and fight himself back up. Winky was never an exciting fighter but made a damn good living making others look bad. Actually, being KOed may give him more quick title opportunities as you said. I could see the winner of Pascal-Bute giving him a defense...especially if its Bute. They are looking at the fact that he is a name guy with credentials in a desperate situation but likely damaged goods.

well....after 10 seconds he had his legs back...thats why he was complaining. the issue was...he didnt know where he was 2 seconds prior to that.
