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.
    Actually today is the first time I EVER heard anyone say Adamek was weight drained.

      Tarver, Johnnson and Adamek are all pretty good wins for different reasons. They are all about equal to me, all good wins against quality opposition. Adamek was highly thought of off his Briggs wins and Dawson basically outclassed him; Glen Johnsson came in to fight and Dawson won a tough, hard, close fight; Tarver is an older fighter with good name recognition who had been on a decent run since the Hopkins debacle, in the fight it never looked like Tarver had any real chance of winning.

      All good wins there is no need to pick a best one out of the lot.

        I voted Tarver but am questioning this. A lot would depend upon if people think Johnson would beat Tarver if they fought around now. I think based on recent performances he would, so I'm left thinking Johnson is probably Dawsons best win then.

        But then I don't think he beat Johnson. LOL. Nitemare.

          I'll just say that he looked a lot quicker at cruiser against Bell.

          And when is the last time that you heard a fighter say something about not feeling well before a fight?

              I'd say that Tarver is 40 so shouldn't you pick Adamek?

                He looked that way at cruiser weight because it was of course against Bell. Dawson is a lot faster and just overall a lot better. Dawson was and will always be a bad style match up for him. Also, as for your question Diego Corrales stated before his third fight with Casamayor that he felt faint and that he had to be taken to the hospital, same with Guzman.

                Its really a shame, because i have been a fan of Chad's ever since his fight with Ian Gardner on sho box and i have talked with him on ******* as well. It takes him to beat Tarver for peope to finally see what i have been seeing.

                  I agree that Dawson beats a perfect Adamek at 175... I'm just saying, I think he was weight drained a bit, hence him leaving the division and looking better now that he is up a division.

                  I think Corrales was a bit drained against Mayweather, but... does it matter? Not particularly, and the same is true with Dawson-Adamek.

                  Lol, I should have put the stipulation... when a guy makes weight... he doesn't ***** about how he is feeling.

                    So I choose prime, undefeated Adamek, although he was weight-drained when he fought Dawson.
                    Ademak would beat Tarver imo, Tarver is past his prime and is known to disappoint. Ademak win is by far more impressive than Tarver.
