    Better Skilled?
    Who do I prefer to watch, Tim Bradley.

    Dawson needs to step his Head-Butt game up tho, Bradley has him on lock in that area... :D

    Chad is still a highly skilled fighter in my book; Floyd arguably lost to Castillo the first time they fought and I don't think he is less skilled because of that. Chad fights very well all around, but didn't fight with the urgency Bradley does, who I also think is very good all around. I think Dawson is still a better all around fighter than Pascal is and started taking the fight away from Pascal, but it was alittle too late. Hopefully it will make Chad a better fighter.

    Bradley.

    Dawson can't fight a lick on the inside. He is one dimensional. Bradley is well rounded. He can brawl on the inside if he has too. He is much more active. And he has the heart of a champion.

    Bradley is not that good , I keep on hearing how great he is , definately not the best in his division , and the division is pretty average , his one good win was against a 35 year old Witter who throws 30 punches a round . Get off the dawson band wagon of one loss and its all over , Dawson is head and shoulders above Bradley.

    Mayweather-Castillo I was a close fight, though. Pascal-Dawson was not.

    Mayweather was suffering from injuries, whereas so far Dawson says he was not...That I have seen. Maybe by now he's saying he had a concussion or castration or something.

    It's very close. Dawson is certainly more gifted, but I think Bradley does more with what he's got, and will go out on his shield before losing without a doubt.

    I think dawson has the better overall skill and potential while bradley has the far better mind set needed to execute his ability.

    How about now? Any changes, home skillets?

    This is pretty much where I am currently at.

    I'll take a stab. When Dawson is punched at by an opponent, he ducks and slips awkwardly, leaving him out of position to counter. A few times in yesterdays fight against Diaconu (end of 3rd round, beginning of fifth round), Diaconu dropped some wide Mayorga-like combinations that didn't land, yet positioned so awkwardly that any punch would have ineffective.

    In comparing Bradley and Dawson, the skill difference is minimal. I think p4p Chad's hands are faster, but Bradley seems willing to take more chances to make a better fight. I think in Alexander-Bradley, Emmanuel Steward made the comment that Tim Bradley is willing to take chances when he feels he has the advantage at any given point in time. Compare that to Dawson, who seems to fight as if he's afraid of being hit.

    Bradley, though both are unskilled labourers really.
