IF Chad Dawson beats.... # 1 Glen Johnson # 2 Antonio Taver vs Clinton Woods winner # 3 Adrian Diaconu Or If Kelly Pavlik beats.... # 1 Jermain Taylor # 2 John Duddy # 3 Arthur Abraham
Pavliks victories here are the most predictable Dawson's bouts spell nothing but trouble when it comes to a hungry Adrian Diaconu or an aging warrior in Glen Johnson So my pick? If Dawson wins the 3 above listed fights convincingly he's the easy winner here for better and more difficult wins
Dawson. If he wins all three, he would've beaten a tough contender, a legitimate champ, and the number 1 challenger to his title. If Pavlik wins all three, he would've beaten a guy he already KO'd, a hype job who struggled with old ass Yori Boy Campas, and a paper champ who should've lost to another hype job that Pavlik already destroyed.
If woods beats tarver then youd have to think dawson would have to fight woods in england cos he's the bigger name and a titlist.....this in itself means dawson wouldnt fancy it if pavlik beats taylor again and stops duddy then heck, even i will stop questioning his legitimacy
I don't think there's much that Dawson can do to do better than Pavlik this year just because his division is a mess. Johnson and Tarver are past their primes. Tarver's gonna be 40 this year. Why are these guys still fighting? Diaconu is a legit contender so I think that's a good fight. The division is old and shallow, and the recognized champion is holding it hostage.
Calzaghe if he beats Hopkins and then Jones Jr will have the best record of the year and that isnt an impossible outcome.....I still really wanna see a Pavlik vs Kessler fight too!
dawson if he wins all three...although pavlick beating taylor is better on H2H than any of the dawson would be wins
Kelly Pavlik because a win over Arthur Abraham is better than a win over Johnson, Woods/Tarver, or Diaconu.
pavlik....only 1 loss between those 3 fighters...that says alot in itself..plus 1 is a title holder and 1 is a former title holder...i still think duddy is garbage though
