    Yes, the performance against Harding was very good. I'm not saying it wasn't. But it looked like Harding is a little past it, and gave up about midway through, and Dawson just sort of cruised and boxed and jabbed, with an occasional uppercut. Harding was slow with his punches and wasn't putting the pressure on him like he should have (and could have a few years back, I'm guessing).

    All I'm saying is I'd like to see him again, against another LHW contender, before I'm sold on him.
    Oh... I had that same conception I guess we just worded it differently. I definitely thought Harding looked old that night, but I still considered him a "good" opponent. Plus I liked that Dawson got knocked down but came back strong to dominate the fight. It showed me he at least doesn't have a weak will/heart.

      But I also saw what you saw in the he coasted. When he landed that huge uppercut he probably could have stopped Harding but didn't follow up with pressure.

        becuase most of them very comfortably make weight and it doesnt beat there body down. johnson woods are there prime tarver was but who knows after that weight loss. and look whats hopkins was able to do when he actually ate something
