whats everyones take on him?? some people are on his jock just cause mayweather said so and then they are those who say him whoop ian gardner or make adamek look like garbage... so is he really p4p top 5?

overrated, untested, weak chin...
can't sell, no character, dull person..
good boxer though

P4P top 5? based on what?

Beating 2 40 year olds who themselves where never ranked P4P?

Future of the division, for sure, P4P top 10? not even close yet.

I don't think he's P4P yet but he's got potential! I was impressed with his performance against Tarver and although he didn't look good against Glen johnson but he still managed to win on a bad night which deserves credit. I think he's still got a lot to prove but definatley has potential to be the man!

is he balls!!! his best victory is over adamek, yes he wins against johnson and taver but when you look beyond boxrec they dont look that good. most people have scored the johnson fight for the road warrior, even dawson after the fight had the look of someone who knew he had just gotten away with something. he beat tarver as well but tarver on the night looked like he was 45 yrs old - no speed, sno snap no mobility literally nothing.

dawson is a good fighter though - sharp, quick, accurate he puts his punches together well and with mayweather snr in his corner he will only get better. over time i see him morphing into a slick, counter-puncher. but to do that he needs good fights aginat strong and beatable opposition so that he can learns that nous and tha ring savvy.

some ppl inlcuidng myself have question marks over his chin, his stamina might need some work as well. right nowhes bordering on the top 10 p4p.

id love to see him vs kessler in the next few years.

very good boxer..the real deal

[YoungGuns32908]

true the chin is suspect most def... but what i like is his footwork and handspeed... overall to me he does not fight like the average southpaw... but i do see where someone said untested tarver was garbage and glenn johnson is like a old junk yard dawg he is game but still none of them on his level.. who would be a good challenge for him

Beating 2 40 year olds

Sounds like Mr. Calzaghe to me and look where he is.
Could call it a stalemate because their opponents all seemed to have beaten each other too.

I know they weren't P4P but I thought I'd point it out lol

I've been a fan from around the adamek fight.he's crazy skilled.

Mr. Calzaghe beat a Hopkins that was in the Top 5 P4P.
Mr. Dawson would lose to Hopkins in a wide UD.
