    Tarver, then Diaconu, then Glen Johnson. If he wins those three convincingly, he's top twelve pound for pound.

    Top 12 after having wins over Adamek, Tarver x2, Johnson x2 and Diaconu? Most people have him in the top ten now...or just outside it. He pulls those three out, he is knocking on the top 5.

    Dawson could easily fight at CW as he is bigger than the belt holders at CW. He chased Adamek to CW, but could eaisly go to CW and beat him.

    Exactly right, i think a lot of people are under rating the resume of Dawson at this point.

    Regardless, there are a lot of better fights out there. With HBO putting pressure on these guys to be on PPV, Kessler v Dawson will happen no question, after Dawson takes care of either Tarver, Hopkins/Diaconu.

    A match up vs Calzaghe isn't out of the question like people think either.

    Personally i think Dawson beats everyone from in boxing under Cruiser at this point. His skills and handspeed will be too much, especially considering the stylistic advantages he has over guys like Calzaghe and especially kessler.
