Chad Dawson: "Saturday Is My Coming Out Party
By Chad Dawson told to Mike Woods
I will beat Glen Johnson because I am more determined, and the better boxer and better fighter.
He's 39, I'm 25. He beat 36-year-old Roy Jones who was bored with boxing. He beat Tarver after Tarver beat Jones and wasn't as hungry. I look at those fights, and he has eleven losses. He has eleven different ways to lose.
Jones wasn't interested in boxing, Tarver was on a high after beating Roy. It's hard for those guys to stay hungry. I don't think Glen is as hungry. I'm younger, I'm coming up. He won titles, I want to keep my title. I train like I don't have a world title.
He's 39, I'm 25, and I think he's just talking when he says he has more experience. He better pray Father Time doesn't hit him Saturday.
Glen is a great fighter, I take nothing away from him, but not many can say they won a world title at age 24.
I'm hungrier. He's been in tough fights, but I'm the hungrier fighter.
I'll win by just being me, using my skills. He'll look to land a big right hand, but I'm a slick boxer. I've been hit by guys who hit harder than Glen. I've been down a couple times but I always get up. I will show on Saturday I'm the better boxer.
The critics, I don't think they give me credit for the last two years. They think I'm a guy who won a title, will defend it a couple times and lose. I'll be here a long time.
Saturday is my coming out party. Finally I have an opponent who wants that title, and I want to keep it. My fight is the real main event. The main event is Glen versus Chad.
My nickname, the one I want people to use, is Bad Chad, not Awesome Dawson. I do awesome things.
To the readers of TheSweetScience.com, you can look for big things, look for a new Chad Dawson. This is my coming out parrty.

Now this is one undefeated prospect that ain\'t gonna lose by upset this weekend. I think Dawson has the goods to tear up the light-heavyweight division and put it back together again.

When all the old boys are gone, Dawson will be the man left standing. I hope this fight leads to a Dawson/Woods fight. Provided Woods wins.

I hope that these will be some good bouts. I hope that Woods put an end to the delusional Tarver. Any winner in the Dawson-Johnson bout is all right with me. Holla!

Dawson is special. You can see it in his movement and his speed. Dawson will beat Johnson as long as he comes to fight. I would love to see Dawson Pavlik, or Dawson Calzaghe.
