Hall of Famer
You know, I remember a time not too long ago, let's say 2007-2010, when many American boxing fans and boxing "experts" were saying Chad Dawson was a top 3 pound for pound fighter. Many American boxing fans thought that Chad Dawson was the best American boxer other than Mayweather Jr. In fact, some people, a minority of people, even felt Dawson was the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world.
I'm not even joking about that. Many American boxing fans and writers literally were saying he was a top 3 pound for pound fighter (RING magazine, if my memory is correct, also had him as #3 or #4 pound for pound), and had Dawson rated above guys like Klitschko Brothers, Kessler, Froch, Abraham, etc. Today, all of those guys are still around, and much more successful than Dawson.
Fast forward to 2013, Dawson has suffered back to back KO losses, and we can see how totally wrong these biased, wigger Americans were. Rating Dawson top 3 pound for pound is a god damn joke and always was. Dawson's recent form and suffering back to back losses (including being KO'd in one round by an unknown fighter) speaks volumes about how inappropriately, insanely, and utterly incorrectly American sports media and fans overrate their own Negro athletes.
The same way they were hyping up Jeff Lacy and saying he was unbeatable until Joe Calzaghe put on maybe the best boxing clinic I have ever seen. Dawson is better than Lacy but he's still grossly over rated. He did beat Tomasz Adamek at light heavyweight but Adamek put him down in the late rounds and if he stayed on him would have had a KO win.
