Whose defeat of Dawson was more impressive: Adonis Stevenson or Andre Ward?

[Arsene Knows]

Dawson called out Ward, he fights at Ward's weight, it's that simple. Don't call out fighters if you can't make the weight they fight at, anything that happens after that is entirely on you.

Oh please. If Dawson was given the choice, the fight would be at 175 and Andre Ward could have easily asked to do the fight at 175. Dawson knew he couldn't get the fight if it wasn't at 168 in Oakland.

didn't vote... cos 'neither' wasn't an option....


ward's giving himself too much credit.... talking about how he fought a 'great' fighter in dawson.... whom he had boil himself down, and effectively end his boxing career....

if chad had fought stevenson when he fought ward at 175....

chad woulda whooped him.... and if chad had fought ward at 175.... it would have gone the distance.... and would have been a close fight....

more impressive? Hmmm, well Ward beat him at a lower weight, but Ward hurt him multiple times. Stevenson did KO him in 1 rd. but Dawson just got caught cold. It happens to a lot of guys. I would say Stevenson, but Ward by far is the better fighter in pretty much everyway.

Stevenson folded him in 1 round at his best weight class...

Yes, but Dawson was the one screaming for a fight, so he fights where Ward tells him to. It sucks that we didn't get to see a fully capable Dawson tangle with Ward, yes, but that's boxing. You can't call someone out then demand they move up or down in weight, that's not how it works.

Until he gets hit a few more times, we won't know if that was Dawson being shot to **** from the weight loss/jump and the beating he sustained from Ward, or if Adonis really does pimpslap that hard.

We won't find out which victory was better for a while, truth be told.

For Ward, he had to drop down 7lbs and one can say that affected the fight. Against Stevenson, Stevenson moved up a division and did his thing.

Good video clip: Has mix of Dawson's comments then the KO.

Dawson's pre-fight comments ..... funny looking back:
- "He is just a stepping stone"
- "He is just a fighter to make me look good"
- "He is no Glen Johnson, ... I have beaten great fighters .... I just don't see it"
- "I'm a big 175 fighter ... BIG! He is going to look tiny"

Lmfao. Good ol' JR.

[KO'er]

I was gonna vote Ward as he dominated Dawson, knocked him down 3 times. But then I thought of the word "impressive" again and the word "spectacular" came into my head.

So I voted Stevenson.

(plus Stevenson follows me on twitter :P)
