    Spinks would have knocked him out. Hell, Glen Johnson came close to knocking Dawson out, that's why Dawson refuses to fight Johnson in spite of the fans wishes.

    Spinks would KO Joe at 175 within 9 rounds. At 168 you never know lol.

    In my opinion Dawson is rather ordinary. Micheal Spinks is probably the 2nd or 3rd best LHW ever. This is an olympic gold medalist who, as a pro, use to lift guys off the canvass with uppercuts. He unified and dominated a talent rich LHW division. Micheal's underwear could beat Dawson.

    Your boy lost to Glen Johnson and would get taken to school by Hopkins.

    The question isn't if but when Dawson gets KO'd.

    A much better (but perhaps still absurd comparison) would be Michael Moorer vs Chad Dawson

    Michael Moorer was a light heavyweight but nice try.
