    I'm just speculating as to how muck **** riding would be going on if Kessler doesn't waste away his career.
    It just seems like a random thing to say.

    I clicked on the thread hoping to discuss the topic, but instead it's another subject that has needlessly turned into 'let's insult Calzaghe/his fans'.

    What a beautifully constructed sentence.

      I don't think Tomasz was that affected by the weight tbh. I think in the Cunningham fight you can see that an excellent, fast and highly skilled boxer could comprehensively beat him.

      Adamek is tough as hell and Cunningham has skills, but neither are on Dawson's level.

      People are wasting their time if they want the white supremacists to give Dawson any credit for this fight though. The hate is way too strong.

        Right, so one ****ing post negates any need to post about the initial topic?

        How about you actually do so, rather than further dragging this thread into a Calzaghe-themed one?

        There's some logic for you.

          You know MOST Adamek fans and people that don't like Dawson won't give him the credit that he deserves for thoroughly beating and outboxing Adamek. They use the weight drained excuse which everyone know is BULL****. A Weight Drained fighter wouldnt have been able to turn it on the way Adamek did in the championship rounds. Adamek was the favorite at that time and Dawson was just a green prospect. Dawson should get ALOT of credit for beating Adamek especially seeing how great Adamek looks at Cruiserweight.

                Yup. Throw in the fact that Dawson was a relative newcomer to 175 as well (only two fights at 175, previously fighting between 160-168) I don't understand why weight is brought in at all. Dawson was very impressive that night.

                  Not sure Dawson's stock has risen because its two different weight classes, let Dawson come to cruiser and do the same thing to Adamek.

                    I think if Dawson could become comfortable at that weight, he would hand Adamek his ass again. It's hardly inconceivable, considering Cunningham still made it a competitive fights on the scorecards despite being knocked down 3 times. And Dawson is a better boxer than Cunningham and would fight a smarter fight.

                    I think Adamek would probably score a KD at some point but Chad would still box circles around him.

                      Of course it's risen. Just like Roy Jones stock rose as Hopkins continued to do well. And vice versa.
