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

[lazy]

When you stop a fighter that is coming off a knockout loss there is always a question mark. Stevenson was impressive but was Dawson damaged goods?

[Mr. Philadel]

Everyone knew what Adonis's only chnace of winning was, and he still landed tbat 1 shot.

Adonis gets my vote.

this^^^^^^^^^^

so many dudes picked Ward to win that fight but nobody really gave Adonis a chance....I know I didn't.....tbh, I'm still shocked.....just yesterday I was explaining to someone at work that it sounds really crazy to say "Chad Dawson was knocked out in the first round"....that don't even sound right.....so yea, Adonis gets my vote EASILY!!!

Ward set up his power punches in an intelligent manner, Stevenson just threw a regular one two.

I'm not a fan of early KO's (especially that early)...it doesn't prove who's the better figher. I prefer KO's to happen between the 4th-8th (or later) rd that way each fighter has time to try and apply their game plan. It's exciting but doesn't prove who's better, after fights I like to know who's the better fighter.

Stevenson win was more impressive he beat Dawson at his best weight 175.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Pascal had the more impressive win over Dawson,he was the first to do it..He also moved up to do it..

[boliodogs]

I voted for Stevenson. How do you top a one punch KO in the first round?

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

Trick question, Dawson's just ****.

Stevenson.

Ward-Dawson was looking very even until Dawson's energy zapped in the 3rd, due to being drained. Stevenson did the opposite of Ward, took the challenge of moving up and wiped him out in 75 seconds.

[hitman smax]

The easy answer is Stevenson, but the correct answer is Ward.

Ward broke Dawson down and permanently changed him as a fighter. For the first time in Dawson's career, he was completely outclassed and had absolutely no answer.

Ward beat a better Dawson in my opinion, just as Douglas beat a better Tyson than Holyfield or Lewis.
