Ok, even though I had Dawson winning the fight against Johnson I accept that it was not overly impressive, however beating an extremely tough guy like Johnson is, in itself, impressive IMO.
But how you can say Chad needs an impressive win over a "credible opponent" is beyond me. He could barely have looked more impressive in his three wins over Harding, Tarver and Adamek - two former LHW champs and one top contender.
Dawson has definately done enough to establish himself as the guy who, along with Hopkins, deserves to land that fight with Calzaghe. It would be a disgrace IMO if Froch, who hasn't beaten a fighter that would make it into Dawson's top 4 wins on his resume, landed that fight.
