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

You are correct that Jones was beatable at Light Heavy. I don't know if Dawson could beat a prime Jones now, but in a few years, who knows?

 

His style is like Roy Jones Kryptonite.

 

Prime RJJ isn't going to be easy for anybody.

 

RJJs speed and power versus Dawsons chin ... sorry guys but that's an easy call - RJJ KO.

But well one thing we did get from this thread - Dawson isn't unterrated at all - hell he is getting to be "hyped" instead... 17% thinking he would beat the p4p champ - prime RJJ...

 

I hope he beats Johnson just so I can watch Diaconu slaughter him beyond recognition:fire
Diaconu KO8 after putting him down several times....It's amazing how many people nutswing on Dawson and pay Diaconu no mind....he's the real deal and has a left hook Dawson could only dream of:deal

 

I don't think Dawson's chin is as bad as you say it is, since he has never been tested yet. In Dawson's last three fights, he BARLEY got hit at all, which is a credit to his defense. But I do agree with that a prime RJJ would beat Dawson.

 

What power? Jones had power at middleweight and to a lesser extent at super-middle but at light-heavy his power was average at best.

You aren't saying anything, i can hear your dick growing talking about 'prime' Roy Jones, it isn't a simple black and white equation saying rjj speed and power beats chinny Dawson, great analytical skills you have there. How about styles?

Jones admits Tarver would've given him trouble in his best days, Jones does not like southpaws. Dawson is a more explosive athletic version of Tarver, minus the mental weakness. He also has a right hand and is alot better technically than Tarver. It's really a no-brainer.

I used to think Roy Jones was the all-time p4p champ aswell until i watched every fight in his career objectively and looked at what his opponents were doing, he only looked unbeatable with the Vinny Paz and Glen Kelly sort of opponents. Against better opponents he was a safety first fighter who only fought on the outside, he could be outboxed as the first Griffen fight showed when Jones would try and come in.

Jones would use his athleticsm and unorthadox style to win fights, against Dawson he wouldn't be able to jump in because Dawson has comparable athleticsm to Jones and is alot longer with great footwork and i don't believe he'd be intimadated like most of Jones opponents were and freeze, you know Dawson would be countering back, firing at the same time and throwing the unpredictable combinations that Dawson throws to the body and head. You saw against Adamek that even when Chad was under heavy fire he was calm and very offensive minded, that's what Jones opponents needed and what Griffen demonstrated in the first fight.

 

Get the **** out of here with that Diaconu bull****, that guy is a little homo who has got a bandwagon of nutswingers after a knockout win over a B grade fighter if i'm being generous. Hasn't Diaconu had about 25 fights? and hasn't there been about 15 KO's? What happened to the other 10 guys who didn't get taken out by Diaconus supposed monster power? They probably all had iron chins and were better fighters than Chad Dawson hey :rofl

 

Gee Dawson beats a roidless admek and he's king of the division..lol **** me he's been dropped 3 times by average punchers i'd hate to see his face if he gets hit by a right hand from the green machine:deal

 

Go **** yourself in the middle of traffic you piece of ****...Your hero has beaten the same quality fighters. We can stop pretending Adamek was great
Hoye was rated #2 by the WBC when Diaconu beat him down...He's earned his title shot and will fight the winner of Dawson-Johnson....after the massacre of your feeble hero I hope you man up on here and not hide like the ***** we know you are

 

dawson beats haye?

you seriously think dawson can take haye's power?

 

the reason i voted about him beating a couple is i usually reserve my judgement till theyve made a couple of defences...

 

Are you suggesting Dawson is easy to hit? It's not like every Dick and Harry can hit Dawson in the face. Dawson vs Green is a mismatch.
