    I think Dawson was the more skillful of the two but he was inconsistent so I think Johnson bangs him out late. Thoughts?

    Johnson was never a late round guy, round 7 is normally the time he gassed out, I'd say he'd catch Dawson with that ridiculous pressure before that.

    As a slickster without a huge punch or the skill needed to outbox Johnson soundly, I think this would a pretty poor match up for Dawson, especially given what Marv did with Parlov
