Froch thrashes any Dawson. Dawson is nothing but hype, I've been saying this for years. I remember the utterly insufferable Max Kellerman was hyping Dawson to death, and now he is aboard the Ward hype express. Kellerman is a disgrace.
I agree that Froch beats Dawson at this point, because Dawson skills have eroded because he constantly switches trainers. But over-hyped? He beat Adamek who at the time was undefeated, beat Tarver X2, Diaconu (ex wbc lhw champion) Glen Johnson x2, and Bernard Hopkins. He is not over-hyped because he is what he is, I think the correct word would be underachiever.
I dont think this fight would of been like this at light heavy. Heard rumours that Dawson lost 6 pounds in the last week thats not good.. Look at the size of Dawson why the **** could Ward not go uop the weight..
Ther's a lot of boxer who could have beat a weight drianed Dawson last night! Props to Ward to have done it this way though!
I do agree with you that the drop in weight effected his performance, but even at 175 Ward would still beat him. There is fundamental flaws in Dawson's game that he needs to fix, and they are fixable. He needs to drop Scully though.
Yeah i agree he would of still lost but not like that.. Dawson has still got a fewe fights to go but not at that weight. :good
I wouldn't disagree either. Dawson looked like virtually any of the super-sixers would have laid him out.
I think the Light Heavyweight talent altogether is over-estimated.... Froch would have won against Dawson, and i think Dawson is the LW's best talent....
Froch would annihilate Dawson at 168 and 175. Chad cannot handle pressure at all, Froch would put it on him and he would fold like a deckchair.
Dawson has no heart and no chin, Froch would walk right through him and make him his *****... Froch TKO 3 Dawson :deal
