[OldSkool]

I cant really make an educated prediction on this fight because ive never seen chad dawson fight. how come most people think he will get knocked out? is his chin suspect?

His chin is suspect, but you have to remember that in early morning it's mostly European posters voting in polls. Things usually even out later in the day when there's a poll pitting an American against a European.

I missed Dawson-Johnson. Last week I'd have called this 50-50, but now I can't say

The real question is: Can Dawson beat world destroyer Margarito?

Everybody sees Dawson getting knocked out by Kessler's right hand, but there is another possible scenario: Kessler is weak to the body, Markus Beyer who is not a big puncher broke him a rip in 2 rounds and made him flinch. Calzaghe also had Kessler in trouble when he decided to go more to the body. Now imaging Dawson avoids being knocked out for 6 rounds and goes to the body as often and brutal as usual...Dawson's punch would be better than against Johnson because he's growing into the weight and he always improves.

Well Kessler has a different style to Johnson and styles make fights. I still think it would be a 50-50 fight.

There are rumours that Mikkel Kessler might be moving up to 175. Kessler vs Dawson could be a potential matchup in the future.

Kessler is a much better fighter than anybody at 175 right now, he can beat anyone from 160 to 175 not named Joe Calzaghe IMO.

If this fight ever happens, Kessler will brutally KO Dawson.

Who wins?

Does Kessler still fight?

[MELLY-MEL...]

kesler will beat dawson.

I think Tomasz Adamek is a more powerful puncher than Kessler and was beaten by Dawson even though he had him hurt at times. Adamek is no slouch and has some good skills. Kessler Dawson would be a hard fight to pick.

[tntkid]

Kessler would bust Dawson up.

[The Hammer]

Kessler would knock out Dawson in an entertaining fight.

No, Adamek is just a B fighter, while Kessler is an elite fighter. Adamek has some power, but his boxing skills are not even remotely close to Kessler's.
