is chad dawson that good?

[freedom213]

if johnson can beat dawson, then i think dawson is not champion material
imagine what a prime johnson or hopkins would do to dawson...

what you dont get is that Johnson is that rare breed who has gotten better with age, he is in his prime right now.

Umm..just because he beat O'Neil Bell - a former cruiser champ and one of the five best cruisers in the world - AFTER Dawson doesn't mean it doesn't count. Weight drained my a**. When did he tell you that? PLUS, Adamek's victory over Ulrich pretty much equals Kessler's career.

So you mean to tell me that Clinton Mitchell's win over Hopkins should count as a win over a HOFer? And Thomas Ulrich has beaten no one before or since Adamek, so I'll assume you're joking.

adamek and kessler are a lot different come on. adamek is fighting good opponents like o'neal bell and steve cunningham. kessler is calzaghing his career into bolivian.

So when did Adamek say he was weight drained again?

Well, when a guy goes up 25 lbs and immediately has greater success than he ever has in his life (i.e. has his best win to date,) it's probably safe to assume that either he was a world beater at the lower weight (which Dawson proved he was not,) or he was weight drained at the lower weight.

In other words, you made that up to explain the fact that Adamek has never said that and you have no proof other than whatever lint pick up out your ass.

Thanks for clarifying.

LMAO!

You send me a red K because I called you out on your bull****.

Dude, do yourself a favor. Go out and get laid.

[alframsey]

No he isn't a proven fighter, but he is still a good, young up 'n' comer! And i feel that Clazaghe needs to fight Chad, Pavilik and maybe david haye to be seen as a the legend he wants to be!

[flotorres]

yeah His Good But Lacks Of Power

[BattlingNelson]

Dawson is still very much unproven, but I hope he'll make it big as boxing needs new US-stars.

At least he has beaten everyone in front of him and thats a good thing. One can only hope that he gets to dominate the division for many years and that's probably needed for him to become a big star. Otherwise he'll need a win over Calzaghe or Hopkins to gain some rocognition but Dawson is likely not on their radar.

So Dawson needs to clean out the division and he should start with Diaconu a fighter he so shamelessly ducked.
