Chad Dawson vs. Glen Johnson (public poll)

[Mr. Ryan]

I hope not but I feel you're right, well hopefully not landing the death blow lol.

On a completely unrelated I'm seeing RATM this summer, can't wait.

Of course, I'm speaking in the figurative sense.

I wish I could see RATM. They are like 2-3 on my all time favorite bands list.

i voted dawson by decision. but old man johnson is a very very live underdog. if i had real money to bet it would go on johnson with the way the sportsbooks have it.
i wish i could find footage of dawsons last fight. i seem to recall some worisome holes he still has.
johnsons a vet and of most recent theres a trend in the stars of underdog vets winning,casa and campbell and some others before.

thats not the only reason johnsons going to win!

Eric Harding is tough as nails and Roy Jones couldn't even stop him. Dawson gave him a brutal beating and out boxed him badly. Also, Dawson was green at that point as well. His style is completely different now that he switched trainers. The Harding fight occurred back when Dawson didn't use all of his tools. He didn't use jab back then, his straight left was weak, and he also wasn't as defensively solid as he is now[/B]. He is just an all around better fighter.

Just watch the fight, there is no convincing posters that has no purpose but to hate. There is nothing else to say. You will see Chad Dawson at his best on Saturday, he will have a guy in front of him that is tailor made for him. It will be beautiful/masterful boxing.

Defensively sound, as in dropped in the first round and dropped by a weight drained old Adamek?

He dropped his hands in the Adamek fight because he took him for granted. He gave him a beating before and after the knock down. Adamek is also a big puncher and only a critic/hater would knock Dawson for that. Also, he was not weight drained. At the post fight press, he said that he had no excuses and that Dawson was simply too fast. Adamek did not look drained nor tired throughout any point of the fight. Don't you think that a major issue such as weight would have been brought up before the fight occurred? Its just an excuse for people that dislike Dawson to put him down.

He was off balance when he was dropped in the harding fight. Tell me this, what fight have you seen Dawson seriously hurt or really staggered? His legs have never buckled and he has never been out on his feet. The thing that you should be looking at is how he responded after those knock downs. He got up and actually fought better.

yeah it seems to be issues with concentration that cost Dawson KD's, not a poor punch resistance. But I disagree that Adamek is a big puncher, he's very compact with a high work rate (like Johnson) but nothing special.

who cares why. it was a careless mistake that will cost him dearly if he does it against the road warrior. CD is such an amatuer..

Johnson does not punch as hard as Adamek does. You are such a noob.

Yeah, 22 knockouts out of 33 fights is definitely signs of a light puncher.

i hate to agree with cmon... i truly do... but that doesnt mean hes a big puncher.... cotto isnt a big puncher either, but he has a good KO rating... he breaks you down over time.. not with big punches

Cotto is a big puncher but not a one punch knockout artist, just like Adamek. He is very heavy handed, Cotto at junior welterweight use to score a bunch of early knockouts. Adamek can punch and if Dawson had a weak chin, then he would have been sleep because Adamek caught him with a freight train right hand flush on the jaw and he didn't buckle. He just went down and got back up and didn't stagger one time.
