I'm not sure, but I doubt Michael Spinks was as highly rated as Dawson was.

What? Michael Spinks was very highly thought of, he was a Olyimpic gold meadlist.....But unlike Dawson, Spinks lived up ot the hype & more.

Jean Pascal was a sub par 168lb'er, who failed in a bid to win a title at the weight. But yet he moves up to 175, and beats the number 1....

That says alot about the division

Carl Froch will **** every lady in here and still have the energy to play a wicked cricket match with the queen.

I really think you are joking. I hope that is the case man.

I'm talking p4p-wise. I should have made that clear: I doubt Spinks was rated as high in the p4p rankings as Dawson was.

Wow, what has the division become, when 168lb'er Carl Froch has beat the current #1 LHW in DEC 2008.

The LHW division, is in a damn bad state. Gone of the days, when the division was ruled by greats like Michael Spinks, Ezzard Charles, Roy Jones & Archie Moore........

So using the nsb mentality you know what that means................
Carl Froch is better than Thomaz Adamek(thru him in ther cuz it was dawsons best win) because Adamek lost to Dawson, Dawson lost to Pascal and Pascal lost to Froch!
Froch>Pascal>Dawson>Adamek.......woooow......amazing!

Ring Magazine didnt have a P4P list until the end of 1989, a year after he lsot to Tyson and was retired. so...you cant really say that.

I have an extremely hard time imagining that Dawson would be more highly regarded when Spinks had wins over Dwight Muhammed Qawi, Yanqui Lopez, Eddie Mustaffa Muhammed, and Marvin Johnson(among othr highly ranked guys) under his belt at a time when the LHW division was considered very deep.
and thats without him going to HW.
