    How is his chin a worry? Look at that video you posted, how was Chads eyes and legs looking after the knockdown? Absolutely ****ing fine, a guy is chinny if he gets hurt all the time, Chad Dawson doesn't get hurt. Look at how Dawson gets hit solidly with 18 seconds to go in the round, the same round where some people think he was hurt, no reaction from Dawson, he must have some incredible recuperating powers then hey guys. Notice after the knockdown him still fighting like he had before the knockdown, not going into a shell and still being the more offensive fighter. The evidence is overwhelming.

    Also i don't think Dawson has the body to be really effective at higher weights, yeah he's 6'3 but he has a small build apart from his arms, he did fight at middle and super-middle.

    I don't know about underrated, but Chad Dawson definitely deserves more hype than that overrated fighter Paul Williams. And unlike Paul Williams Chad Dawson is highly techincally skilled.

    Although I don't think Dawson has the build for the higher weights at this point, he is more skilled then any of the guys at Cruiser for sure. I think this would get him through. Will be very interested to see how Adamek performs at these higher weights.

    Yeah he definitely has the skills but he may get outmuscled by a natural Cruiser, won't really know until it happens. Yeah watching Adamek at Cruiser might give a fair indication how Dawson might go since they both appeared to be around the same strength/size in their fight at light heavy.

    I'm guessing it's because i said he beats Roy Jones at light-heavy?

    First of all Jones had problems with Harding and Tarver so we know he'd have more problems with a rangier more athletic guy than those two and secondly Roy Jones was no superman at light-heavy, he couldn't really take guys out anymore and his footwork wasn't as good as when he was at middle/super-middle.

    Prime Jones super-middle vs Dawson? I say 50/50, Jones was superman at that weight but on paper Dawson has the kryptonite for Jones style so who knows.

    To be honest I actually find Dawson a bit overrated... His whole reputation is basedon his performance against an also overrated Adamek... Since then he fought only bums.

    He is talented and skilled, and in 1-2 years probably the best in LHW but not yet. Johnson and afterwards Diaconu will show how good he is in fact.

    There was a lot of hype around Adamek 1 year ago and we all saw what happened... that's it.

    talentwise, he is very good, but his chin is questionable at best: KD'ed by Eric Harding, LMW Willie Lee and ofcourse Tomasz Adamek..
