I think people are underrating Dawson, and underrating how clever Pascal's tactics were against Chad. It's much tougher to just throw punches than it's said, especially when a guy is moving out of range then exploding in like Jean did. In a kind of similar situation Mosley totally dwindled Margarito's punch output, look at what Bernard did to Pavlik's output. And that being said Chad still landed more punches than Jean at a higher %, and he almost ko'ed Jean before the cut. It was a very close fight that Chad could have won.
Yes I agree with this post. I think how close it was is what has surprised so many people. I think most expected Dawson to pretty much dominate against a guy that lets face it was beaten up of Carl Froch![/QUOTE]

Completely agree with that post.

Also, Hopkins was reluctant to get in the ring with Dawson in the past, do you think if he beat Pascal, he would get in the ring with Dawson? Dawson is entitled to the rematch after they take one interim fight.
