    Dawson wouldn't beat Calzaghe or Hopkins.

    He definitely beats Hopkins by UD, on workrate alone.

    Dawson vs Calzaghe would be a close fight, tough to call. I don't see JC being able to exploit Chad's chin, but I also don't see Chad keeping JC outside all night.

    Don't see how Dawson is rated so highly when he was lucky in most peoples view to escape with his belts against Glen Johnson, someone who has been handled by the majority of players on that list.

    Dawson should have rematched Johnson, ASAP..

    At the moment, I've got to say the performance Tarver put in makes him the third best behind B-Hop and Calzaghe.

    Dawson gets credit for beating Tomasz Adamek (now # 3 at Cruiserweight). When he boxed rather than fought on the inside he dominated Johnson although I agree he barely eeked out that win.
