After walking through a lot of average fighters, Dawson took adameks unbeaten record from him which was impressive, he got beat by johnson imo, and then clearly beat an old tarver. Thats about it really imo.
Kessler beat two very average titlists, beyer & siaca. Two very game oponents in Mundine & andrade, and again alot of average b/c class fighters.
Dont forget though he fought great against the best of them all calzaghe but was just edged.
Not alot between them really but i think Kessler just edges it. (IMO)
What do you guys think?
Kessler IMO. He barely lost a round before the Calzaghe fight which he also fought with a broken right hand and without sparring. Other than that he has KO'ed a string of former titleholders and he has travelled to his opponents back-yards to do it.
Who has Dawson beat? 2 40 year olds and a drained Adamek who hasn't won anything of note.
So to me it's Kessler. Definetely.
