Only Calzaghe could've beat Kessler.

    Nothing against Dawson he did his job. But I agree, after seeing the Briggs fights and Adamek v Ulrich, I was expecting a lot more from Adamek.

    He didnt even throw punches. Seriously ****ing odd. Maybe Dawson is that good though.

    Dawson is pretty damn good, I'd pick Kessler over Dawson due to the right hand timing and how Dawson's most open to that punch, and the fact that Kessler's handspeed is comparable, as is his defence.

    Adamek couldn't get any shots off because he lacks A level timing, and the fact that Dawson controlled the rythym with his jab, Dawson's jab was constantly in Adamek's pace, and this slows workrate down by default.

    How is he overrated? He's one of the best boxers I've ever seen as of right now. That right hand that caught Dawson would of knocked out anyone, including Kessler. Kessler isn't that big of a puncher, defintley doesn't hit as hard as Adamek. He probably would get beaten up the same way Adamek was. Well maybe Kessler might put up a tougher fight, but no doubt Dawson would beat him. And who says he's the man to beat? You don't have to be the man to beat to schudele a fight. If Kessler wants to fight the top 5 at LHW than he should fight Dawson.
