If Calzaghe comes back he must fight Dawson - no one else!!

And thats because americans are bitters, because Joe came beated Hopkins rape Jones and he still undefeted. How can it go from a Brit wanting to see Calzaghe-Dawson and then transcend into bitter Americans?

If Joe fought him after Roy Jones i think he would have beaten Dawson. Hopefully he stays retired as he has nothing else to prove. BUT, if he makes a come back after year or so out of the ring and comes to fight Dawson then i wouldn't be so sure on who would win, he's getting old.

Dawson is a very tough test. He has the speed to trouble Joe.

Wont happen. I think Joe knows he would lose to Dawson.

calzaghe to comeback and fight dawson?....no, just no

In light of the collapse of Sports network who owe Joe money: If Calzaghe comes back he must fight Dawson - no one else!! Dawson is the real live opponent out there, don't let him get away with anything less. for one thing!, it would take alot more than a dept of 1-2 million to collapse sports network( ie the british "top rank") and for another thing dawson is nobody compared to froch!! dawson is a good prospect but froch is ROCKY BALBOA!! which fight would be worth more money?? that is a rhetorical question btw!

It's not about credit for Joe at the moment, it's about money. Froch is probably the biggest money fight there is for him at the presently.

Dawson showed up too late for this dance. :( LMAO, P4P best sig on the forum. Damn that shit made me laugh

Pretty much.

First WTF have Dawson done, to be a more legit win than a Carl Froch or a Bute fro example? Dawson is a good fighter, but ust because he is at 175 doesnt mean, that he is the fight to seal the deal fro Calzaghe. And besides Dawson isnt a money fight either, and Calzaghe wont comback for penuts just to please americans!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dawson right now is the best light heavyweight, hes unbeaten and has held the WBC( which he took from Adamek) and now currently holds the IBO/IBF titles which he took from Tarver, hes way more established than both Froch and Bute and IMO a better fighter. He also beaten 4 top 10 light heavyweights. If Joe did somehow pull off what would be an upset in my book and actually beat Dawson, it would be a great win, a lot better than Lacy or Kessler.

Are you kidding me? 27-0 (17KO's) Wins: Tarver x2 (He'll beat him again, and you know it!) Johnson Adamek Harding Dawson is the former WBC light heavyweight champion, and is the current IBF champion. Compare that to what Froch and Bute has done and see what you can come up with? Dawson deserves his shot at Calzaghe more then them two. Calzaghe would get far more credit for beating Dawson then Froch or Bute.

He would lose, which is why i think he should either stay retired of fight Froch in the UK. Dawson is the worst style match up for anyone that has been inactive and about 37 years old. Hes just too young.

Dawson is a fight that would really legitimize his legacy for me, but the money just isnt there..

But wait! Carl the cobra Crotch is the "only possible opponent" the Zagster should face. The only possible one. It's the truth. Believe that man.

It's true though, Dawson is the only one that Calzaghe can fight which would significantly improve his resume.

Dawson is too high risk/low reward to tempt Calzaghe out of retirement. Shame, it's a fight we probably all want to see?

It doesn't matter a toss how 'real live' he is; Calzaghe would only come back for the mega-money, mega-fight Dawson simply can't offer.
