    The great: nothing
    The good:
    Dawson beat Adamek, a slipping but still good Tarver twice, and an ancient but still decent Hopkins above his best weight.

    Foster beat an aging but still good Dick Tiger above his best weight, Rondon, and Chris Finnegan.

    Filler:
    Dawson beat Glen Johnson twice in harder than expected fights and Adrien Diacnou

    Foster beat paded record guys Fourie (twice), Tessman, and Mike Quarry. Also defended against Rouse (twice), De Paula, and guys I’m unfamiliar with named Brian Kelley, Ray Anderson, and Jorge Ahumada (draw). Old versions of Eddie Cotton and Henry Hank pre title.

    The bad:
    Dawson lost badly to Ward and Stevenson in an awful and permanent fall off.

    Foster failed every time he fought anyone a pound over 175, losing to a losing streak version of Doug Jones, Mina, Terrel, Ali, Folley, and Frazier. He was stopped in most of these.

    Is Foster much ahead, if at all?
