Dawson is great! He is not stupid either. He can make a very good name for himself by fighting the have-been legends who are about to retire. After Johnson, he might take on Jones, and why not, Tarver...if he's around, Hopkins too! Wouldn't Dawson be considered a top p4p fighter in America if he beat all these legends? It's not like there are that many young, prime, unbeaten, hungry dangermen to challenge him...Diaconu is dismissed as crap. Kessler...well, he cannot be dismissed so easily, but I don't think Dawson will be in a rush to fight him.
no need for langauge im only saying my opinon but I really hope this fight happens to prove u n assassin wrong Jones will be to quick for him! yea right would he land anything he want on jones! , jones fights a hell of alot better than adamek who stands of waiting for counters! he fought for a few rounds but he was sluggish n slow n not impressive! Roy wips this hyped up chump on a clear decision!
I disagree that Johnson has better skills, and yes, he has beaten better opponents, you know why? Because he got the chance to fight them, Briggs was ducked by Tarver for whatever reason and couldn`t get into the ring with a big name opponent.
Actually he doesn't have better overall skills. In April, when Dawson beats Johnson one sidedly, we can make sure we revisit this thread.
Semantics and convenience. When he wins, someone plays into his strengths. No credit for him of course. When he loses, he suddenly receives all the credit, and in a dubious manner.
Dawson will beat Johnson, Diaconu, and hopefully, if Tarver decides to have a go, most definitely him too. Then, he will beat Hopkins, if he is still around! I cannot see anyone presently at 175 to derail Dawson. Kessler looks like the only one who could, but let's hope he finds good fights at 175 for the next 2-3 years.
so whts he really got on offer for boxing skills other than an aggressive outlook when going into fights!
He has good timing and a good jab. He has leaky defense. He has good punch selection and spacing. He has also has good power and good balance. He is an effective brawler and a good infighter because of the spacing. He also has very good stamina and workrate.
