Diaconu and Dawson vs. everyone else at 175 can they be stopped?

No...he is a LHW through and through. Short, yeah...but he's been OK at the weight so far. He'll stay there for a while.

 

Yea I don't see him moving there.

 

If he moved up to 175, I think Kessler would rank third in the division.

1) Dawson
2) Calzaghe
3) Kessler
4) Hopkins
5) Woods

Something like that. I'd edge Dawson slightly over Calzaghe, but as long as you have the first two guys there, in whichever order, that's cool.

Hopkins, despite having the biggest name, is the most overrated fighter in the division. He's too far gone now.

 

That's if Dawson's chin is bad as you say it is. Dawson has excellent defense, in his fight against Adamek and Mendoza, he basically ducked and slipped almost everything they threw.

 

i wonder how much the posters who support Diaconu have actually seen him fight, chad dawson would\will beat the **** out of him

 

currently he's scheduled to fight Glen Johnson in April 12, I wonder why so long the wait?

 

everybody must know that glen johnson is a bigger threat to chad than the romanian shark

 

I disagree. I think limited as he is, this young, unbeaten guy is hungry! He will be much more motivated than a has-been Johnson.
