Chad Dawson. Is he the most under rated fighter in boxing right now?

The Adamek I saw in that fight completely disregarded what his corner was telling him to do, had a much lower workrate than usual and generally fought much differently than he usually does.
Sure Dawson won the fight and Ill give him props for that but I would bet on Adamek in a rematch so long as McDirt isnt training him. Dawson is unproven in my book.

 

I think Dawson looks good - but he hasn't really faced anyone you could pressure him yet - and still he has been down three times in 25 fights.

Lets see him against the elite before passing judgement.

About his chin - Light middleweight Willie Lee had him down - Harding had him down from a jab! - up against the top contenders it will be a question of time before he gets stopped. I'm not sold on him at all - and that anyone can have him beating RJJ is beyond me...

 

Guarantee you i know a hell of alot more than you about both subjects.

2pac was ****, face it. The only half decent album of his was Me Against the world, everything after that was midget dancer who carries crates for digital underground shouting out westside and thuglife even though he came from a private drama school in the east, the little ***** tried being a gangbanger and he got banged out, **** him and his music.

 

Have you seen Dawson hurt? Nuff said.

 

I actually think he is overrated just like I said Paul Williams was.

 

Based on.................................?

 

Now before you go nuts I think he is good. I'm not calling him a bum at all. I'm just asking who has he beaten? Too many people on here are ready to crown him king of the world too soon.

 

Yep I've seen him hurt - by a lightmiddleweight - what do you think a boxer like prime RJJ or Haye would do to him??? - Nuff said.

 

i think he is a fantastic fighter and will be a top p4p one too but not right now due to opposition and lack of good ones but its early days he will take the light heavys by storm

 

Chad Dawson is legit and is the real deal, although I can understand if some people doubt him since he hasn't fought any top opposition since his win against Adamek. But anyways Dawson does everything Paul Williams doesn't. Dawson has a great right jab, (one of the best jabs in boxing) has great defense, and basically has all the basic fundamentls down, Dawson can do everything. In his fight against Adamek he threw a right hook, a left cross, than a right hook to the body all in rapid secession, not many boxers can do that. He isn't a head hunter either, has a great right hook to the body. Dawson is way more technically skilled than Paul Williams, hell saying Dawson is just technically better than Paul Williams would be an understatement, I would say Dawson is one of the top 5 technical boxers today, that's how good he is.

 

Dawson deserves hype because he's just one of the best technically skilled boxers today, not Paul Williams.

 

Wow! I ****ed up when I voted in this poll and didn't read the question right. He beats them all except a prime Roy Jones and the cruisers IMO.

He looks like he will grow out of LHW in the near future.

 

Hes not underrated he just needs a few more big fights to see where he stands.
