    :good
    EXACTLY im not hating on this guy he is obviously a very talented athlete
    but surely to gain the p4p status alot seem to hold him in he has to have done more. Adamek is his only win against a prime top class fighter!
    Im not saying he wont go on to be a top p4p fighter but as of yet he has shown potential but hasnt proved jack ****.

    Deffo overrated at present shouldnt be mentioned in any P4P talk IMO

    I truly believe that any fighter whos willing to get into a ring deserves the most respect. But, since i even decided to post in this thread im going to have to give my opinion. And my vote goes to Felix Trinidad. Now don't get me wrong, I loved his style. Complete crowd pleaser, but the man truly was one dimensional and i couldn't believe to this day that he beat Oscar. He didn't, and im willing to take that with me anywhere.

    Every fighter gets overrated and/or underrated depending on who you are talking to.

    Eh, it kind of depends, because really, there are a few guys on the p4p lists that leave you scratching your head. Nonita Donaire? Celestina Caballero? In my opinion, Dawson has done more than either of them.

    It could also be said that these two are also overated for similar reasons to Dawson.
    However Dawson appears higher up the your average p4p list so i personally would consider him even more overated at present.

    He's undefeated, is a two time world champion, and has 6 wins over guys that were ranked in the top 10 by Ring Magazine at LHW at the time Dawson fought them(Harding, Adamek, Tarver 2x, Johnson 2x). He's also a very talented fighter. How many guys out there are beating that many top 10 opponents?

    He's going to beat Pascall with relative ease. What are going to say when that happens?

    Don't think Tito is overrated, but he definitely got a gift win over Oscar. I still remember being as shocked as Oscar was.

    Re-watching Tyson from a technical stand point you can see he is a bit overrated. He was one dimensional to me. If I knew then what I know now I would of most def knew he was beatable. Still would of loved his fights though.

    Currently id say Caballero is overrated he is a good fighter but not a top 10 PFP like the RIng and some others have him. Wlad has become overrated recently. Top 15 pfp guy but not top 5 like many have him.

    Prime Tyson would break both of the Klitschko's in half,and this heavyweight divison is the weakest of any division in boxing history,you need to do a lot more research.
