    How good does Chad Dawson's win over Adamek look now?

    I know there are a lot of Chad Dawson haters on this forum. He is boring. He is an Al Haymon fighter. He isn't Pinoy. Etc,

    However you feel about Dawson, respect the man's achievements. There's a reason that Hopkins wasn't trying to see Chad.

    Still looks good especially if adamek's exploit at the higher weight, It also makes me wonder if adamek was killing himself while he was fighting at light-heavyweight.

      Adamek had looked strong and solid at the lower weight. He just wasn't as fast or fluid as Chad.

      There are bad fights for Adamek out there. Chambers may be one. Haye may be another. But if you put a plodding heavyweiaght in front of him, Adamek shines.

        That's a good point, he seemed to have carried the extra weight just fine at heavyweight and even with the extra size he still was maneuverable to outland Areola.

          Bring 15 Rounders back to Heavyweight and Dawson-Adamek would fight for the Undisputed Heavyweight Title.

              Adamek was hella weight drained at that point... sure it looks good for dawson, but i wouldnt look too far into it... plus its a different style matchup

                  dawson's win over adamek always looked good it's just people don't like chad dawson because his fights aren't "exciting"

                  i'd rather watch dawson hit and not be hit then froch's formula of get hit then get hit some more

                  it's time talented fighters like dawson get more praise than lesser skilled guys that just so happen to have exciting fights

                  it's the sweet science vs brutality

                  hence why people love pac more than floyd
