    For what ?

    Other than his wins over Tarver all he has had is some really good losses ..I love the guy but he hasn't done anything HOF worthy ..

    When I say 'definitely' I mean I think he has done enough, just. To be remembered there.

    Bearing in mind, I actually think he won his last fight, against the 'Bad' one.

    I think so.

    He looked better against Jones then Tarver did in there first and third fights.

    Knocking out a past prime great fighter DOES NOT get you a spot in the hall of fame. I think he has been hard done by in his career, but realistically all he has is tarver and an old Jones. Not enough for the HOF by a long shot.

    The problem is, even his best wins were for the most part against guys that WEREN'T holding titles. Griffin, Ulrich, Harding, Jones and then getting a couple of dubious decisions against him earlier in his career. I think ability wise, he is a better fighter then his resume suggests though.

    So I suppose you think future dominance of the light heavyweight division Dawson was just a bit 'green' when Johnson fought him to a standstill... except it wasn't really a standstill because Chad was on his fookin bike for half of the bout.

    Or do you think Dawson very overrated?

    Dominance??? He lost a close decision. What fight did you watch. Great effort yes, but losing a close decision doesn't get you into the HOF pal, nice try hahaha. Based on your criteria, every one time title holder and challenger who puts up a great perfomance in losing for the title would get in.

    No, I diddn't mean the fight was a dominance, I was talking about the DOMINANT DAWSON, as in dominant rising star of LHW.

    I actually think the fight was very close but feel like Johnson did enough, do the words effective and aggression mean anything?

    No. Great guy, but just hasn't done enough to warrant HOF status.
