Boxing fans would win, for once.
damn right, olyphant. this the only fight i want to see at 175
Dawson had enough to hurt Tarver in the 12th round.
Dawson isn't Lacy. The man is a 6'3, very skilled, paw. He would be a problem for Zags.
Not to mention, he is just entering his prime. It's a bad fight for Joe.
dawson isn't pavlik or lacy. bad chad is a speed boxer, he doesn't have power but makes up for it in speed and skills. dawson is a little green but i think even if calzonie wins dawson would give him his hardest fight in years. the speed that dawson would counter joe's shots would be almost as fast as the slapper. both guys have beat alot of past their prime big names but chad isn't past prime or lacking fundamentals ( lacy ). even if joe wins this fight it wouldn't easy, which is why it'll never happen
Dawson doesn't have much power, and the 2008 version of Calzaghe after the recurrent hand injuries doesn't have much either.
But Joe has the advantage in workrate, ring intelligence and stamina.
Joe by wide decision.

Dawson is all hype, Calzaghe is the real deal.
Calzaghe walks it.
Don't buy into anything like that, Dawson has some skills, just not on a par with Calzaghe's, nowhere near.
It wouldn't be that wide, but it wouldn't be anywhere near close.
Calzaghe has a very good chin and great recovery. He gets knocked down and comes back stronger.
Dawson has a suspect chin. He was hurt bad many times and almost knocked out by average punching Glen Johnson. Adamek also dropped Dawson and almost knocked him out in the 10th round of their fight.
I wouldn't say his chin is suspect, just unproven.
Not really going to be a factor in this fight though, as Dawson couldn't hurt anyone half decent and Joe isn't looking for a KO.
dawson would win he doesn't stand in the same place and wont get slapped to death and hes also not 40 so he wont run out of gas. how is calzaghes chin better than dawsons now? calzaghes been dropped 4 times and twice in his last 2 fights. is it better just cause you say it is?
Calzaghe has only fought one person who was over the age of 40.
Nice try, but once again you're distorting the real facts in a way that benefits your arguement.
Everyone on this forum knows you're a biased, bitter and uneducated tool, yet you still keep trying your hardest to convince us.
and calzaghe is a world beater? what does that even mean to you? dawson beat 3 top light heavies and calzaghe beat 1(dubious) and an old shot roy jones. care to explain mr. hugger?
I like the way you have completely discredited all of Calzaghes WORLD TITLE FIGHT EXPERIENCE at SMW as if it never happened.
If I was like you, I would resort to saying that Dawson never beat Johnson, but unlike some I can make a reasoned arguement backed up by facts, rather than pretending an entire decade didn't happen just because it suits.
Way to win a debate, asshole.
Unless Joe gets old overnight, I got him over Dawson.
Although Chad has some skills, he's hardly a world beater, and he is nowhere near Calzaghe's league.
If they ever fight, it's not even close.
