Pound for pound Kessler beats Dawson hands down, but I'm a bit in doubt how well Kessler fares against a guy with such a big size advantage (nearly every guy Kessler has fought has been smaller than him) who is a southpaw to boot. It all comes down to Dawsons chin. Dawson is practically a cruiserweight.
i cant pick...but its an interesting question and interesting to read these answers.. what sort of catchweight?...170?..173?... i'm not a great lover of the term catchweight...if 2 guys fought at 172 then its a light-heavy contest for me... i wonder if kessler will fight at light-heavy ?
i think he will end up at 175, but as he is the no.1 at 68 and still has a talented division, it doesnt make sense to go up yet. Though I would like to see him fight Dawson...i dont by this crap Chad is a Cruiser, he came up from super middle himself.
