    When you look at Dawson's record you realize how much hype he is? Other than a weight drained Adamek, who had him on the floor, who has he fought? His two "title defenses" were against jokes.

    Calzaghe would school him and Kessler would stop him.

    So Adamek moved down to defend his title. Or did Dawson move up from 168 and beat the reigning champ at 175. How are you weight drained if you are the champ at that weight class. Adamek had a flash knockdown. Dawson got up and owned his ass as he did the entire fight. That was one sided beat down with Adamek winning that one round that could of been 9-9. That is another ***** british excuse. Calzaghe had his ass floored a few times by lesser fighters with a lesser punch. ****ing dumb ass Euro british excuses..You get ****ed up every time.

    What are you talking about? British excuses? I am not British or Euro and what does this have to do with Dawson being overrated?

    Better, but not 'much, much' better, that's blowing things out of proportion.

    Agree. Kessler as good as anyone Monzon faced, with the exception of Valdez.

    And Kessler was better than any of Hopkins' wins, though Hopkins gave RJJ a good fight, that counts to me as good as a win over a Kessler level guy.:yep

    An overrated fighter does not jump up on weight class and fight the champ at that weight with no tune up and kick his ass all over the ring in domination. :lol: And yes, I call dumb ass excuses like weight drained in your own fighting weight division a british excuse. Just like short arms etc etc. British excuses.

    Agree that Kessler is vastly superior to any of Hopkins wins.

    Jones won by a wide margin, but I suppose we can call that a moral victory for Hopkins.

    Kessler is one dimensional and would of gotten beaten by majority top 168 fighters from the past. The division is weak as **** during shitty slap joe's era.

    Are you able to analyze objectively or are you so biased that only American fighters are good to you? If you believe this you will be sorely disappointed in the years to come.

    Boxing is more international than ever and the 168 pound division has never been stronger.

    Chad Dawson possibly.

    Hopkins ?
    Pavlik ?

    Kessler would demolish both, on the same evening.

    He IS an excellent fighter.

    It's just that Calzaghe is a GREAT fighter and Kessler didn't look so good against him for that reason.

    Watch some of his earlier fights.

    Watch his NEXT fight.
