At the very least for the Ring Magazine.
Hate him or love him, he had a very active year with 3 of his 4 fights being against Ring Top 10 opposition.
He blasted out the Ring champion, battered Cloud into submission and is now taking on another top 10 opponent in his weight class.
I won't argue that it's debatable though.
Dawson was knocked out in his last fight, but at 168
Cloud was coming off a loss to Hopkins and was never that impressive
Bellew is coming off those debatable fights against Chilemba
Still though, he's fighting people who're recognized at the top of his weight class and beating them.
