    I dont think he is underated, i think he is solid, i mean sure there a few radicals but he is a good fighter, He is still growing and learning but he is verry good, Im as sure as you can be in boxing that he is the future of the light heavyweight division

      He isnt a big enough name for calzaghe to fight him

        From what I've seen of him, he seems to have some talent but he's nothing special. Some people do overrate him - he's world class, but not really an elite fighter, and he'll lose once he faces a highly talented prime opponent.

        He does seem to be very well trained, however, and doesn't appear to have any glaring weaknesses. He's been knocked down several times in fights, but he's recovered quickly each time.

          Calzaghe said he has one fight left.

          It's going to be the winner of Woods and Tarver I'd imagine if he beats Hopkins obviously.

            But I don't think he would beat those 3 guys if they ever stepped in with him though.

            I would love to see Mikkel smash Miranda and stop chasing Mundine, MAYBE move up and beat Dawsons ass.
            I would love to see this as well

              He's young and has potential. I haven't seen much on him though.

                His fight against Glen Johnson will show if he is overrated. If Glen Johnson beats him, then yes I would think he is overrated a tad bit.

                he is pulling for the pavlik fight but i doubt pavlik wants to fight calzaghe.

                  Glen Johnson is close to 40 now, past his best, so it should be an easy win for the young Dawson. Johnson has 11 losses on his record.

                    I think he's overrated, he hasn't really beaten anybody.. It's only a matter of time before we'll see Chad Dawson lose that 0.

                    Some people overrate him, some people hate him ..

                    Thoughts?

                    Dawson overated

                    Kessler is the most overated fighter active today ,he gets whooped by Calzaghe and he is the future of the division the man to beat at 168 lbs when Joe leaves for good

                    i dont hear anybody constantly ****ing the drum for Dawson ,so how is he being overated & why all the negativity towards him

                      Well obviously when you lose to the #1 fighter in your divison, and you're #2,
                      the #1 goes away.. What happens then?! OH ****! NUMBER 2 GOES UP TO #1!
                      DAMN! What a ****ing brainer... Even if Kessler was ranked #3,4,5,6 ... He would still be a man people wouldn't fight, and the man to beat. He's a former World Champion, a 39-1 fighter with 29 KO's. Miranda has balls, and so has Kessler.. So now that Kesslers plan about chasing Mundines title died, he should just see if he can get the fight with Miranda and smash THAT overrated prick into pieces.
