well, to tell the truth, the light heavyweigth division is pretty bad. honestly, its the same guys we had 5 years ago, except older and not as good.
not to mention you have so-so 168lbers like Yusaf Mack, Braehmer and Pascal himself moving up and gaining high rankings in the division. and they were never really that great at 168lbs to begin with.
however, Glen Johnson and Tarver were both still top fighters when Dawson fought them, and he did beat them dominantly.(at least the 2nd time around). Hopkins was still old and past his best, but he still is Calzaghe's 1st 2nd best win and Calzaghe jumped up in the p4p lists when he narrowly beat him.
Its really the Adamek win that makes me want to put Dawson so high. If you ask me, Adamek himself should be rated pretty high p4p. the guy goes from title holder at 175 to best at Cruiserweight to being a top 5 ranker at HW. I dont think that much of him, but hes piled up some pretty impressive credentials.
Yeah. I don't know if Tarver was any good. Johnson was all right but Dawson could only just get by him the first time.
And Adamek is definetely a good win. It didn't look so good at the time as it does now.
