    Are all tall southpaws this incredibly boring to watch? Surely there is an exception.

    I'd love to see Dawson get in a fight with Glen Johnson, someone who will make him fight.
    Lol, no chance, saw Dawson today for the first time against adamek, scored it 118-108 for dawson, he was near-flawless at times in the fight,

    No way does Glen Johnson have anymore than a puncher's chance against someone like dawson, who is quick, powerful and good defensively, although he needs to work at being better defenisivley from short range.

    Dawson is a proper fighter man, i wouldn't let roy Jones anywhere near this guy right now, same for Clinton Woods also, they both begging to get hurt by this guy.

      Miranda is technically flawed, Taylor fights small men, Wright jabs you to death and has a turtle defense, Hopkins doesn't throw more than 400 punches a fight , Woods always ****** and Calzaghe will never show such a great fight than against lacy. Well I like all of them except Woods, but its wrong to call Dawson boring.

        Adamek was and is plenty good, and he has proven so through his wins at 175. He is not as good as Dawson, obviously, but he has a more exciting style usually.

        All of the blame can't go to Adamek for it being a boring fight. He's been in way more exciting fights than Dawson. And if Dawson was so willing to get into exchanges, he would have threw more leather and came forward. Instead, both men waited. This almost always favors the guy with height, reach, and a little more speed.

          Cory Spinks may be small but he definently has a chance. He is a very good slick boxer. I hope Jermain looks better than that extremely flawed performance against Ouma.

          I noticed Jermain gets cut and swells up pretty easy. He's gotta develop some defense by the time he meets Miranda.

            So what? Everyone has technical flaws. Miranda comes to BOMB guys out. That is a good thing.

            Wright throws a lot of punches and is fighting tougher in every fight, due to age or whatever. Either way, it's more fun to watch him.

            I'll give you what you said on Hopkins, but he is still elite and has much more history of being a bruiser than Dawson does.

            Woods was always a slid fighter. He got handled by Roy but showed vs Glen Johnson that he is a top guy at 175. He is no world beater but he throws hard shots, comes in shape, and has a solid foundation.

            Johnson is so grizzled and experienced and determined, there is no way in a blue hell that he would not be able to make Dawson fight.

              Who has Adamek beat?
              Paul Briggs: Tough fighter, good fight, both times close fight
              Thomas Ulrich: The guy doesn't even know what a defense is, he eat every single jab from Erdei
              Except from these 2 fighters I don't see any known fighters on Adameks record.

                Mate how was that a boring fight, as i said above dawson was technically awesome at times.

                There were few exchanges, just Dawson hitting him with sickening body head combos with the speed someone at 175 shouldnt have. lol

                Dawson> Clinton 'the bum' Woods, Roy 'maybe i should call it a day' Jones and Glen ' Glorified Journeyman' Johnson.

                lol

                  I didn't see Chad would lose to any of those guys.

                  I said is style is boring. And it is. Of course he will come up with a good combo now and then. He has skills. But he does it way too infrequently.

                  Adamek did enough to be top 5 at 175, that's all that needs to be said about him. I do not imply that he is some elite great.

                    I dont think that Fight was boring at all, liked it alot, Dawson was throwing some pretty dangerous combinations, the scary thing is he is 24 and so he should get alot better, it was a technical masterclass minus the Knockdown and some dodgy defenisive work close up.

                      Well, Dawson is set to fight again in Juli, Briggs is his mandatory and has fought in february, maybe Dawson vs Briggs will be a more entertaining fight...

                      I got Hopkins,Erdei,Tarver and Dawson above Adamek. Woods and Johnson would also give him a tough fight.
