Is Dawson the next Williams? (KO victim)

[r ! z]

I'm re-watching Dawson's fight against Pascal and it's almost sad how many times he ate a Pascal right hand, that right hand seemed to be a heat guided missile...not missing the target.

Are there any (relatively) unknown LHWs with devastating right hands that could dispatch Dawson into a state of comatose?

That was a bad night for Dawson, but I personally think Dawson is slicker and has a better defense then Williams. I don't think Williams and Dawson fight alike at all. Williams is more of a brawler who loves to go to war and thats why his best defense is his offense.

I never compared Dawson and Williams' style but you're right about Dawson having a better defense (most of the time, chad does have defense lapses).

I don't think it was a "bad night" for Dawson BUT I do believe he might do better against better opposition in the future. I think it's just that Dawson was a bit "rusty ", so to speak, in regards to fighting young, strong, fast opponents, knowhaimean?

No Dawson has a glass chin but he has boxing skills and ability that Williams doesn not posess. Paul has way way way more heart though and drive when he is in the ring he works the problem is he doesnt have boxing ability just a work ethic..

I don't think this is a good comparison. Dawson has really good defense/head movement. Pascal caught him a couple times but IIRC it wasn't because of any serious flaws in Dawson's game. Jean Pascal is good at what he does and that gonna happen in boxing.

what makes this comparable IMO is the difference in chin.

Honestly, Dawson has skills, but he has a suspect chin, and i do believe he's KO waiting to happen as well.

I don't know that Dawson has a glass chin but I agree with the rest.

Dawson is a smart fighter though. It will take an extraordinary fighter to hit him hard enough to make him P-Wilt.

I don't think Dawson has a glass chin, but it's more suspect.

If you combined Dawson skills, speed, and athleticism with Williams' heart, toughness, and fighting spirit, you would have a future ATG.
