Has Adamek surpassed Dawson?

[Cutthroat]

Adamek>Dawson


Ever since Adamek has moved up in weight he's been very impressive.

[2501]

In terms of legacy, yes.

5-0 you mean arguably losing to 49 year old construction worker Glenn Johnson?

Glen Johnson is still one of the best LHW's, very few can beat Glen Johnson convincingly, and Dawson did.

Dawson is a dumb ass cherry picking punk, which is why he isn't doing a whole lot.

How is he a cherry picker?

Not only was this a better win legacy wise than anything Dawson has done but if Chad had gone up and beaten Cunningham it would be his best win to date.

He didn't want to fight Diaconu in March 2008 and opted to fight Glen Johnson. Not a lot of people know about this but this is true, which is why Dawson dropped his WBC belt in the summer of 2008.

Then the whole Glen Johnson fiasco started, and then Dawson had to drop his WBC belt to fight Tarver. He fought Tarver twice instead of fighting Cloud.

I gotta think though had Adamek stayed at LHW he would have KOd an old Johnson with his superior power. Just speculation of course but I think its well founded. That being said I think the higher weight classes suit Adamek especially cruiser.

Dawson is better than >>> Adamek, Pascal, AA, Froch, Kessler, Diaconu, Cloud, AD and Ward.


He UD's all of them.....heard it here first.

Wrong. He tried to make the fight, but HBO refused to accept it. In a few months he will have dominated the top 5 LHWs (not including Hopkins because he doesn't want it). What else do you want from him after that? He'll be The Ring Champion, and he'll deserve it. After that I'm sure a Cloud fight will happen, and if he wins he'll rule the division for sure until Ismayl Sillakh comes and knocks him the f**k out once he gets out of the prospect stage.

The IBF gave Dawson an option to fight either Cloud or Tarver again. Dawson chose to fight Tarver again. Look at his decisions, he's been stuck fighting Tarver and Johnson twice. He's a cherry picking punk and it's sad because he has the skills and the talent to be great, but not the mentality.

Granted the sanctioning bodes have been unfair to Dawson.
