Just came off a TKO loss to the best fighter from 168, at 168. This is the best they could do. Kovalev IMO just made noise for the first time with his Campillo win, Stevenson has been one noisy f-cker for quite some time.
Besides, Dawson has one of the toughest runs, win or lose since 2006.
2006: Harding
2007: Adamek
2008: Johnson, Tarver
2009: Johnson, Tarver
2010: Pascal
2011: Diaconu, Hopkins*
2012: Hopkins, Ward
Dawson has fought every one he has supposed to have fought and then some [There was no need for him to go down to 168 to fight Ward], he even called out Joe Calzaghe but to no avail because Calzaghe went with Jones. I think it's okay for him to take on a guy like Adonis Stevenson for a confidence building fight, which is pretty high standard if you ask me.
