I agree with the thread starter however that is just my opinion. I haven't seen raw skill and ability on a fighter from this era since a prime Jones, or a young Mayweather and i feel that he could reach that level if he comes in his fights right. Game plan, perfect mind set ect.
Do me a favour. Grab a Ring mag. Tell me where Glen Johnson is. Tell me where Antonio Tarver is. Then tell me where Diaconu is.
Dawson has elite skills and P4P talent unlike that of ANY active 160-175 lber. The Adamek and Johnson fights were his baptism by fire. He is ready to clean house.
Regarding the thread title...... I assume the thread starter means Chad is the best H2H & not p4p from 175 downwards... mmmmm..... I dont mean to start world war 7 here on ESB but Id pick Joe Calzaghe as the best H2H fighter from 175 down. (Now let me get the **** out of here before the swords come out, cheers.)
Dawson is too slick for the robotic Kessler, I'll be putting a large sum down on this one if Mikkel has the guts to step up to LHW (ie Dawson's house).
