what makes dawson the man to beat at 175???
why are so many people all on this guys nutsack like he's the second coming and will destroy hopkins???
what has he done? can anyone tell me, because, of all the fights i've seen of his, and following his career, i have yet to see him do anything that warrants him being the top dog, now and then???? anyone??
i hear he's slick, but against who? all i've seen is a regular southpaw that has has his basic southpaw fundamentals down pat, nothing exciting, far from exciting, but nothing new and innovating, nothing great and spectacular......
his best win is against adamek, who was weight drained and was his last fight at 175, adamek since being hydrated has looked really good and is all the way at heavyweight now, so weight had to have been an issue for a guy that is now fighting 25+lbs above where he fought dawson.
but where are these spectacular fights, or long run at holding the title and cleaning out the division???
where are the spectacular knock outs or wins over top quality fighters?? yeah hopkins hasn't had a knockout since DLH ,but he's had exciting fights, almost all of his recent fights he was supposed to lose and he shocked the world, only to have people capitulate on some of them saying his experience was enough for the win, regardless of his conditioning, etc... we have all heard the drivel from people......
i'm just so curious as to why people think dawson is this matrix of boxing that has hopkins and everyones number......???
only to struggle and have boring, less than impressive wins over hopkins scraps...... hopkins was the first and only if im not mistaken to stop glenn johnson......... dawson struggled and i thought lost their first match up then won the boring rematch that basically looked the sme s the first fight just chad avoided exchanges and moved more....
then the tarver fights, what paint drying event those were........ hopkins table scraps again.......
then you look at dawson's status, he doesn't have any following, he has now drawing power, he doesn't have a title...... all he does have is a promise to get a fight with hopkins.......
hopkins is dominant over lefties, has more experience and ring knowledge in his sweat than dawson has in his boxing career, what is dawson going to do to bring to the table that 1) means something to this fight, a title? impressive wins? what? 2) his crowd drawing power, at least now people are going to buy up hopkins tix and ppv's..........
people say hopkins has been avoiding dawson, and i do think there is some truth to that, he's been avoiding him because he's small peanuts with no payday attached and no real monumental achievements attached in beating him, no landmark or anything to make it a legendary match up.....
style wise dawson doesn't bring anything to the table, as far as i can see, that is going to give hopkins trouble.....
he's not going to out work hopkin, he's not going to out slug hopkins, he's not going to walk hopkins down, he doesn't take the lead in any of his fights, he doesn't fight on the inside, and has minimal experience compared to the wealth of experience carried into the ring by hopkins...........
now, i know the fight is more than likely going to happen, it is basically contracted, dawson gets the winner of the hopkins pascal fight, so it's inevitable that it's going to happen.
i just want to know why people think dawson is this world beater that is the MAN TO BEAT at 175, when he's actually done nothing to earn that perception, just because showtime and hbo been trying to hype up this shaw fighter, everyone seems to parrot what they say without opening their eyes and saying, this guy aint on that level, this guys has a hell of a lot of room to grow and improve before he even comes close to all the accolades he's getting now.........
let me konw, school me with facts and data, not some fantasy island type crap, please!!!!!! i'm dying to know!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
