    tomasz adamek vs chad dawson rematch @ cruiserweight

    there's no doubt adamek was severely weight drained at 175 when he fought dawson, i think he beats him at cruiserweight, what about you?

    I can't see it. I accept that Adamek wasn't at his absolute peak when Dawson beat him, but Dawson just presents a horrible, horrible style match-up for Adamek. If Dawson doesn't get caught, he wins another wide decision.

      Does your prediction have anything to do with you being a Joe fan? The more Adamek wins, the more Chads victory over him looks better on the resume.

        I'm not sure if Adamek's meteoric rise at cruiser is because of weight, or just beacuse he has improved...

        Either way, Dawson is pretty small, so I think it would serve Adamek well to have it at CW.

        I do think that Dawson probably gets him again due to style matchup.

        On the other hand, styles make fights, so I definitely don't fault Hopkins for choosing Adamek instead of Dawson. He's bigger, and I'm not sure who's style has a better chance against Hopkins, so I'm really excited for the prospect of Hopkins-Adamek.

          Dawson is a natural light heavy at the moment and it would be a mistake to have a fight at cruiserweight.

            Cruiserweight...Dawson would need 1-2 years to get to that weight. He was smw not long ago
            Still a very wide UD if his chin holds up.

              Let me get this one straight.

              Dawson has to move up 25 pounds to rematch a guy he already beat, just to satisfy a few nuthugger.

              But Kessler can't move up a measly 5 pounds to face Dawson

                he needs to do more to get a rematch imo.

                it's not like the first fight was close....

                If he carries on the way he is going though, I think a rematch would be fair.
