    If you look at Andre Ward's resume', it says "Super Six Tournament Winner" and "Last American Olympic Gold Medalist". Those two bullet points puts him ahead of Dawson in my view. No doubt Chad has the bigger names on his resume but Ward faced the tougher and "more prime" competition. What does Chad's resume' say? Maybe, "Retirement home champion".

      It is closer than people realize. But Ward's resume has more fighters in their prime. Dawson fought an old B-Hop and lost to Pascal.

        I could say that Kissler wasn't in his prime and he fought a weaker Arthur Abraham not to mention he had the easiest road in the Super 6

          Actually he wasnt top 10, the RING bumped him up to #10 right after the fight was announced.

              Exactly! Most of Dawson's big names were over 40 when he fought them. It's hilarious that some of these posters discredit Manny Pacquiao for fighting over the hill fighters but then turn around and give Dawson credit for doing the same thing. LOL

                      I vote Dawson. He may have old fighters on his resume, but those old fighters were among the best, if not the best in the division. Whoever wins their fight clearly has the better resume, it would be the best name on either's record to this point.
