    Dawson has has 27 fights never left the States and hold wins over Tarver and a disputed one over Johnson who lost clearly to Clinton Woods.

    Dont see it, Kessler is more "proven" he has also won more titles.
    Add to the list that Kessler was a late replacement when he won the title against Siaca by KO. Furter add that he KO'ed former titleholder Eric Lucas.

    Compare that to Dawson's string of journeymen and a disputed win over Johnson who was outpointed by Ottke.

      Add Mundine was KO BY Ottke and lost to Manny S

        Kessler is way more tested. Johnson is a gatekeeper who lost to the likes of Clinton Woods, Sven Ottke and Omar Shieka and Tarver lost every round to Hopkins. They both gave Dawson hard fight esp Johnson who really lost to every big name fighter he every fought, Jones aside.

          Beating a completely shot Tarver does nothing for Dawson in my book. But to most posters here that's Dawsons best win.

              I'd call em equal. Kessler has won a couple belts and so has Dawson. If anything, Chad hasn't lost yet (officially) and Kessler has, which gives Chad the edge.

                I agree. Tarver didn't look like himself and his best days are way past him. No denying that.


                But beating Adamek, Johnson, then shutting out Tarver is a helluva ****ing accomplishment.


                I think Adamek is better than Kessler.
                Obviously I think Hopkins is better than both Johnson and Tarver.
                But I think both Johnson and Tarver would beat the Roy Jones that fought last night.

                So hand in hand, it equals up pretty fair to Calzaghe's recent victories.

                  Dawson hasn't fought the p4p no.2 with a broken hand without sparring in hostile surroundings. Kessler has.

                    hahaha. Adamek was undefeated and now probably the top cruiserweight now that Haye is gone! hahaha.

                      Adamek was dead at the weight and beat no-one at 175.
