He doesn't have the stamina for it.

Why didn't Dawson use his physical advantages over Diaconu to give the fans a more entertaining fight?

Wlad has stopped all of his past 5, and 9 of his past 10 opponents.

5 of those 9 (Brock, Chagaev, Brewster, Chambers, and Thompson) had never been stopped before.

You are doing a disservice to Wlad comparing him to Dawson. I know that you don't consider Dawson to be in the same league as Wlad, so that's not really a fairly comparison. Dawson is doing the best he can with what he has, Wlad is an ATG.

Dawson has more talent than you give him credit for, it's HEART that he lacks.

He stunned Diaconu a couple of times when he threw some power punches. But in the later rounds he made no attempt to stop him.

Diaconu was an easy target. He's not energetic and aggressive like he used to be, so he's not a very dangerous opponent.

I agree. Dawson has a lot of talent and great physique for boxing, he just doesn't have ambition.

I gotta admit Steward is having a great year with his fighters still able to win at the top with exception of Dawson (something deeper is happening between the two).

Wlad talks about this in the excellent Klitschko documentary.

Wladamr deserves alot of respect for coming back from those losses to the fighter he is now.
