atleast Diaconu didn't struggle with a 40 year old man

At least Dawson didn't struggle with a one dimensional fighter thats only ranked in the to 10 by the one organization and not highly touted, and thats the WBC. Glen Johnson was ranked 3rd at the time by the ring magazine and fight news. He is a former multiple world champion and one of the toughest fighters of this generation. He has wins over Jones, Tarver, Griffin and Harding. In fact, i would even favor Johnson over Diaconu because he has the ability to take his punches and continue fighting with that same confidence and will. Chris Henry did that and it completely through Diaconu off. He is use to hitting fighters with his best stuff and them falling. Johnson would be in his face for the entire night and not let up.

Dawson has fought much better competition than Diaconu and has looked much better while beating his opponents as well.

You're going to be hurting real bad when your favorite fighter loses to Diaconu, slicksouthpaw16.

Henry is a tough cookie, he's in his prime and is in fact ranked in the top 10 by Ring Magazine even after losing.

Henry is a very good fighter and a was a very tough opponent. Although, he doesn't bring any real credentials and is not a major force in the division. I have never heard of him before the Diaconu fight. When Dawson was tested, he was tested against a tough(tougher than Henry) skilled veteran that knows how to force his opponent to be great. Johnson has also fought great fighters, unlike Henry. If you base Diaconu beating Dawson by their last fights, then it is very misleading because Chad fought the better opponent.

Between me and you, Dawson would have boxed Henry's socks off.

He'll never give Glen a rematch so I hope Dawson gets KTFO but it won't happen. He'll take Diaconu.

Interesting poll results so far...

Diaconu is a strong puncher with good skills, and Dawson doesn't have a good chin.

Dawson is a pretty good puncher with BETTER skills.

Although Dawson is more skilled, Henry is a powerful puncher with a strong chin. If he fought Dawson and connected with a big punch, Dawson would be KTFO.

It depends on the Dawson that shows up. If it's the Dawson that fought Glen Johnson then I think Diaconu will win, but if it's the Dawson in his previous fights than Dawson will win. What people don't realize is that the Johnson fight was a great learning experience for Chad. All boxers have tough fights where they really struggle, and that fight will help improve Chad. People can complain about the decision all they want, but I thought Dawson won fair and square.
