HOW GOOD IS CHAD DAWSON - hypothetical match-ups

[Ryn0]

this is another video of his other big fight

notice he was knocked down again and seemed to lose both the last two rounds, pretty similar case to johnson fight. he starts very, very good but finishes weak.

I don't think so I think he won the last two rounds. He dominated Admek that day. (barring the KD)

Dawson was better off with Mayweather Sr.

Adamek didn't do **** in their fight though, his work rate was awful. I don't see Kessler being that hesitant, and I could well see Kessler hurting Dawson and not letting him off the hook. Adamek was impressive in his previous bout, but that was a lackluster effort against Dawson and I cannot compare Kessler to Adamek's performance that night. It's an insult to Kessie.

I actually don't want to guess. There two of my favourite fighters, if I had to pick I would pick Kessler because he has more experience and better workrate than Admek and has his fundementals down unlike Admek who relies on his ruggedness and power alot of the time but it would go to the cards and be very close.

Although the responses may be somewhat a result of style/matchup. The fact that Roy jones is clearly leading the poll suggests Calzaghe's fight selection is nothing short of safe. I apoligize in advance for bringing up Calzaghe in a Dawson thread. But a poll about something else is probably the best way to see objective responses.

We will find out a lot about Dawson when he fights Tarver. I got bad Chad winning.

Dawson sucks. I can't see how he can have any serious fans. Show me what the appeal is, I don't see it.

Dawson has the tools to beat all of them. He is a very good boxer and has shown that he has a good deal of heart (Adamek-Johnson). He needs to work on the mental lapses during fights, but otherwise he'll be okay. He could beat any of the guys on that list....he just has to stay focused for the full 12.

go ahead boxasmash how would you see dawson winning the fights that you say he would win?

also what are dawson strengths - i dont really know him as a fighter. i know that he has mayweather in his ring so he is porbably pretty good at defense and at keeping mobile around the ring but what does he have that is special i.e. good speed, strength, power, chin, timing?
