Nah,gor real Dawson is good,great speed,great skills,tall,rangy but someday I don't know when his Achilles's tendon(his chin) will betray him and he will get KOed:good
I hear you. But Woods has a 58% KO ratio, Diaconu has a 60% KO ratio, while Johnson has a 68% KO ratio. Pretty good for a guy with just "some pop", don't you think? Anyway that's NOT my point. I am NOT a Dawson backer, I'm just tired of seeing this "glass jaw" nonsense whenever a fighter eats a big punch and gets hurt. [/edit] Except if it's coming from Rico
It don't matter,Roy Jones used his skills too and......Do you think Dawson wanted to trade with Johnson in that fight?:-(
He had the skills to outboxing and it was obvious for the first four rounds but yeah did trade with him but he needs to learn how to box through out the fight. :bbb
That was a good fight but not quite as good as Vasquez-Marquez though. I also thought Dawson deserved the decision but it was very close. I'm not sold on Dawson's chin either. I'm unsure where to rate it right now but it does seem to be one of his weaker areas.
No that wasn't my point, I tend to agree most fighters can be hurt if a world class opponent hits them right, does not mean they have a glass jaw. I don't know where you got that from. Light heavy ain't full of bangers, but I would say Tarver, Jones (power the last thing to go), Diaconu and (maybe) Tavoris Cloud, with the likes of Woods and B-Hop probably having comparable power.
Diaconu was exposed by Henry, he has stamina issues and he does not like lateral movement. The bad part about that is the fact that Henry is not a boxer/mover, and still had success with it. What if he had Tarver, Calzaghe or Dawson in there with him? Johnson was awarded as being the number one mandatory for the WBC title so Diaconu will have to face him after he wipes out Branco. I highly doubt that he will even beat Johnson but we will see. :yep
No he doesn't, he has a 52% ration, 32 KOs from 61 fights. Also, you have to factor in the absolutely terrible standard of opposition he faced prior to his bout with hopkins. Not that I'm griping about it as he has more than made up for it since, however, of his first 32 opponents, only 9 had a winning record and only 12 had a single digit in the loss column. A year prior to B-Hop he was fighting an opponent with a 13-13-2 record, then one who was 14-49-4.
