If Dawson beats Hop is a HOF lock?

In reality, B-Hop is not supposed to be beating these guys. If Dawson wins, he is supposed to.

True. At hopkins' age, dawson won't get alot of credit 4 beating him. ppl will just say age caught up with him. Especially if he beats the brakes off hopkins.

yeah, i pretty much agree, that's why i voted he would probably crack the p4p list, but i wouldn't considered him an instant lock for hof. dawson still has time though, and as a somewhat fan of his, i think he can be in it when his career is all said and done.

Beating Hopkins would be a good addition to his “application” to the HOF so to speak but cannot be the centerpiece of it if you guys understand what I am saying. Beating some of those guys at 168 once they either move up or at a catchweight could certainly help make the case. If he were to beat Ward, Froch, and Bute in addition to Hopkins along with the guys he already beat then I would definitely say you have to start giving him some consideration.

Are you guys kidding me? He has to be a lock for both of these things if Adamek is, no? Here is the proof because 75% of the voters said so. How can I be wrong if so many others are right?

Ademek doesn't belong in there either. I don't take NSB polls seriously.

I think this thread proves neither Dawson or Adamek have accomplished enough, even if they win their next fights, to be considered for the HOF. Thanks for the responses.
