If Dawson beats Hop is a HOF lock?

[IronDanHamza]

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?

Adamek a HOF'er?

[ИATAS]

nah man, his best wins are mostly over 40 year olds.

Hopkins 46 (if dawson wins of course).
Johnson 40
Tarver 40

Tomasz Adamek would be the lone under 40 guy but I dunno how good Adamek was at LHW, it's a solid win but clearly he's gotten better as he's gone up in weight.

is Jermain Taylor a HOF lock?

is Jermain Taylor a HOF lock?

taylor is even more further away than either ademek or dawson. hes never beaten a really good fighter convincingly.

Yes, a win over Bernard Hopkins is huge.

Dawsons Resume:

W over Bernard Hopkins

W over Tarver

W over Tarver

W over Johnson

W over Johnson

W over Adamek

W over Harding

ademek isnt a hofer even with a win over vitali. dawson is closer than he is.

Adamek a HOF'er?

Thank you gentlemen for being fair and objective posters. This was my point to the other thread starter. He doesn't get it. Fortunately you guys do.

Probably not, but considering a majority of posters on this forum expects Cotto to get in, the case could be made for Dawson too.

I think most people have an unrealistic view on what merits an entry into the HOF. (and please do not tell me stallone got in)

Just like Cotto, Dawson looks to always fight the best. Those are HOF fighters to me, always looking to fight the best. Why is Sylvester Stallone even in the HOF, he is a joke ass actor.

The only guy who is a lock for the hall on that list is Hopkins and he's 46 at this point. Chads other top wins against Tarver and Johnson were not primed spring chickens either.

He has the talent to be a HOF fighter if he continues beating the best fighters around him, but no way a win over Hopkins locks him in.

[The Hammer]

If Dawson defeats Hopkins, he's still not HOF worthy yet.

However, if after that he moves up to cruiserweight and becomes Ring champion, and then moves up to heavyweight and defeats a Klitschko, then he belongs in the HOF.
