What is Chad Dawson's best win?

[BattlingNelson]

Dawson just won over Tarver, but was that his best win?

I havent seen that much of Bad Chad, so I'd like to know more.

Adamek win was pretty big. Dawson was the underdog and he pretty much outclassed Adamek. Even took him down once.

Dawson went down in the fight.

It was in Florida.

Adamek was a good win though. I am glad he moved up. He was too skinny for light heavy.


Dawson is a nice fighter but he's not that great of a puncher. He will get a lot of decisions from here on out.

I'd say Tarver...

Tarver is the most accomplished in the division IMO that he has faced.

[MANGLER]

I'd say Adamek. He owned him aside from a flash KD late in the fight, and he made that look better than the Tarver win.

[The Hammer]

Tarver is a better fighter than Adamek, but Antonio seemed somewhat old and faded last night.

So I choose prime, undefeated Adamek, although he was weight-drained when he fought Dawson.

Adamek wasn't weight drained, and even admitted after the fight that Dawson was simply too fast and that he had no excuses. He also had the energy to chase Dawson after he scored that knock down so his stamina seemed fine. If he was weight drained, then how come he fought that war with Paul Briggs only a few months earlier?

Tarver was past his prime, but had just came off a dominating win over Woods, so he wasn't completely done.

Listen, Adamek was partly weight drained and Tarver is partly shot, but... anyone who wants to take a significant amount of credit away from Dawson is being ridiculous.

This Tarver thing isn't a shock either... he looked as good as he did against Woods for the parts of what I watched last night. He was just in against a faster fighter, and Dawson performed tremendously last night.

[hookoutofhell]

toughie really - tarver is the best name on his resume and big stage but tarver under performed and lookd really old.

the adamek fight ws proabably a good one as he was fighting someone who was on his level at the time and the fight was between 2 good fighters, yeah id say adamek.

The weight drained excuse if just something fans come up with when their favorite fighter losses, trust me. They said that Duran was weight drained in the rematch with Leonard, even though it was only about 5 months later. As a major fan of Dawson, i have analyzed that fight over 20 times, and nothing indicated that he was weight drained. He brought non stop pressure for the last two rounds, and didn't look at all tired or exhausted. A fighter that is weight drained wouldn't have had the energy to do that. Also, i would recommend the people who felt he was weight drained to watching that entire show time card. Shortly before the fight. Adamek stated that he felt stronger and that his size would be a the factor.
