    Who would take it in your opinion???
    That would be an interresting fight if Abraham is still undefeated and Dawson too.
    Abraham aint gonna be a 160lbs for all of his career.

    Who takes it???

    For my part, I'll take a UD for Dawson, although that if Abraham catch Dawson, it's pretty over(if his power translate well to the 168lbs)

    Dawson simply because Abraham is unproven above 160... Would love to see that fight though.

    Dawson simply because his skills are 5 times that of Abraham.

    I will take Abraham. Abraham has great defence, fast hands,, great punchingpower, and heart. Dawson has a bad chin. He has been dropped several times and was hurt badly by an old past his prime Glen Johnson. Tarver was very old when he fought Dawson. A prime Tarver would have koed Dawson.

    Dawson easy. He has too much reach and Abraham is too slow footed to get inside. On the other hand, I imagine that Dawson's beard would be made even worse by being weight drained, so I guess Abraham stands a decent puncher's chance.

    If Dawson could make 168 he would fight there. Dumb thread.

    He's made 168 before. He's more comfortable at 175, and believe it or not there are more big money names who fight in the US at 175, so it makes perfect sense for him to fight at 175. He's called out fighters at 168 before though, and there had been some rumors of guys he'd meet with at 168.

    Yes he might be quite drained at the weight, plus Abrham has scary power anyway, so AA definitely has a puncher's chance.

    The Yank would be entirely too quick for double A not to mention the Yank's abundance of sound skill. His only liability would be his notoriously shaky defense but even that wouldn't be enough to help double A emerge victorious should they decide to dance in the squared circle.

    Abraham, simply because Dawson cannot make 168 anymore. He is big for a LHW and I don't believe for a second he could make SMW again.

    he said he could easily make it, but is that true IDK.

    It's possible that Arthur has the biggest punch and the best chin under 175.

    Dawson is more skilled.

    At this point, I would pick Dawson on points.

    He'd need to be careful, though.
