Could Chad Dawson take Carl Froch's best shot flush on the chin and beat the count?

Carl Froch isnt a hard puncher. I dont even think Dawson would go down.

 

Dawson has been hurt by a relatively light puncher in Glen Johnson, and was down in his fight with Adamek. While I think he can definitely be hurt, from what I've seen so far he seems to have good recuperative powers.

So, Froch would probably floor him, but I'd give Dawson a good chance of beating the count. I doubt that Chad would be caught flush by a Froch 'bomb', though. He's too elusive and Froch isn't particularly fast.

 

i believe Froch's best punch flush would do sufficient damage for that to happen

 

the question is would Froch be able to land clean on Dawson

Well, if you excel in speed, timing, footwork, defense and you pack a decent punch like Dawson, you probably can get away with a just average-to-good chin.

 

Dawson's chin is shaky but the man can fight dull or not he's skilled. I doubt Froch tags him with his best shot but if so he should beat the count.

 

Adamek Knocked out a heavyweight since so its safe to say his chin isn't weak.

 

Dawson wouldn't even go down. Froch doesn't have big one punch power, at 175 it would be even less so.

Dawson would win every round against Froch, and probably stop him on accumulation.

 

Well, to be fair Adamek weighed 175 in that fight, so my guess is his punches right now are harder than before. Anyway, my point was that while Dawson can be hurt and possibly floored, judging from the way he came back after he got knocked down by Adamek and wobbled by Johnson, it seems to me he has good recuperative powers, therefore an above average chin.
