Adamek has done more than Dawson in the past year, but Dawson perhaps should replace De La Hoya or Hatton.
I remember thinking about a combination Manny threw just before the KO and Hatton blocked most of the onslaught and then blocked a hard left hand at the end even though he sent back from it. I was thinking, ' okay, good, he was able to pick off that exceptionally fast combination and that left, so he may get something done since Oscar wasn't able to do that all night '. I was wrong, but my point was that Hatton really may have made a fight of it had he not got caught so hard for that KO.
People are harder on him than neccesary in my opinion. There have been allot of guys who have been knocked out before and still made good careers. A star like Hatton should be given the benefit of the doubt. After all, there's not allot of guys who attract a crowd like that and boxing fans should be happy he's around rather than burning him at the stake and telling him to go away because he only lost to the best fighters in the world. Hell, allot of people think he was beating Floyd halfway though their fight. That's impressive. That's just silly pushing Hatton out when he is so good for boxing. We need him and allot of people are too blind to see that.
Dawson has beat more recognized/acomplished competition over the last year and has a win over Adamek. No way Adamek deserves a spot before him. I don't think anyone besides you would dissagree about that.
