Sorry boys but I think Kessler would win this in both divisions (168 and 175) To me Dawson is overrated.
Let me get this straight- -Andre Ward beats Chad Dawson at 168, and a load of you immediately rate him as 1st or 2nd on your pound for pound lists. -Now your saying everyone at 168 would have stopped Dawson? MAKE UP YOUR ****ING MINDS
Also Froch and Bute, both would have stopped Kessler that fought A.Green at 175. So what's your point?
Kessler wouldn't had picked himself off the floor if it was Bute in the first place to have a comeback like he did with Green.
Dawson just isn't that good of a boxer. Just because he is American, Black and athletic doesn't mean he is the next superstar. He reminds me of Judah, a lot.
I don't like how everyone is sh1tting on him now, he took a big (and very dumb, but that's no shocker) risk challenging p4p Ward a division below. He deserves respect for making every concession to get this fight made, despite being a champ himself. And he's no Judah. He beat near everyone worthwhile at 175, not his fault the best guys were old. Yes there's the Pascal fight, but even there he was coming on strong at the end. Judah always fades late.
I don't hate Bute... Only bold comments like "Bute would have KO'ed Kessler from the Green fight" Cmon man give Bute a chance to become relevant again before you start hyping his ass again.
