Now we know why Dawson is not fighting at 168...

yeah this makes sense...He lacks power at 175 and would be even weaker at 168 fighting smaller guys.:huh

 

Great point! Props!

 

Great detail and informative post. If you contribute 0.004% of the quality Decebal has already posted on this forum in the next year I will be absolutely staggered. When somebody at your school is being bullied, I bet you're the one standing behind the guy doing the bullying egging him on.

 

Seems almost everytime I start to think your one of the better posters I've seen on here, you got to go and post some ol' bull**** like this.:verysad

 

Now Decebal, you came to the clear conclusion that Dawson lacks power because he didn't KO Glen Johnson???

GD.

 

Ahh, I forget just how young some of you guys are .. that explains alot. Alright kid, enjoy your heroes regardless of their abilities ... it usually takes time to gain a point of reference on 'talent'. The time will go fast ....

 

I disappoint myself sometimes. Sometimes I post silly stuff. Sorry to disappoint.

Maybe I should put an indicator when I'm being serious and not.

 

Yes, please do. I always point out to American's being assholes to UK just for the hell of it, that there are a hell of a lot of you guys that are a real credit to the forum and what not. .....Then I come across that **** there.

 

If you'd actually like to debate the various reference points with me, please kick it off with specifics. I only asked you to stop posting **** about Decebal who is a very good poster.

 

Come on, it blatently wasn't serious.

 

My bad then.:good :yep

 

He has ok power, nothing more nothing less. It would probably be the same as Calzaghe's at LHW, without the draining.

 

No, he's merely a regular and active poster who is nearly always out of his mind nut-hugging every pedestrian Euro fighter as decent and every decent Euro fighter as great. If you watched Dawson/Johnson you would see that Dawson dominated the punch count and that Glen took a lot of clean, hard shots. Glen has always been underrated and there is good reason why Joey has ducked him repeatedly. Glen KOs Joe the same way he KOd Roy. Dawson, OTOH, never went down and continued to throw more punches in nearly every round. Only Euro-nazis keep downgrading guys like Hopkins, Toney, Jones, Dawson, Johnson, Taylor, Mayweather ..... who have continued to fight the best and have been tested over and over and have, in many cases, moved up in weight and remained successful. Your 'fighters' and Dumbell's have fought nobodies and yet you want accolades for these poseurs? Let them defeat a substantive fighter and we'll talk.

 

The important of raw power is overstated by most. It's an equalizer, but many ATGs didn't have mind-numbing power.

More concerning for Chad is his lack of defense, vulnerable chin and poor lapses in judgment. He could have made that fight a little easier on himself if he'd started boxing earlier.

He has tons of heart and matches up much better against Tarver than he did against Johnson, though.

 

Dawson lacks alot of things a good basic skill set being top on the list.
