So what you are saying is that Dawson = Lacy. That in and of itself is fvcking stupid. To Calzaghe would have beat Dawson ok I can see that as a good possibility even though I'm not a Calzaghe fan. But to put Dawson on the level of Lacy is just moronic. Dawson would beat the sh!t out of Lacy as well and has enough skills to give Calzaghe a very good fight and possible win.
Dawson is overated in terms of skill. He has some of the tools to become something in boxing but he is not the complete article even yet. Dawson vs Calzaghe would be acomplete mismatch if it went ahead a couple of years back. If Dawson is that good he should have took care of Pascal without to many problems, so why didn't he? Calzaghe would have dominated Dawson, with Dawson barely even getting 2 rounds.
uh no he wouldn't because if he could have then he would have, that is why he doesn't get much respect or the respect that he probably should because he beat a OLD Hopkins and a OLD Jones but that does absolutely nothing for your Resume and Legacy
Beating Dawson, Froch even Glenn Johnson (although older he is always a TOUGH Fight) would have helped him a lot more then beating Old Washed Up Fighters
Dawson would have gave Joe MAJOR problems from a STYLISTIC standpoint, what one fighter was able to do for 1 fight does not mean every fighter can do the same, "STYLES MAKE FIGHTS" some styles match up well some don't
but to be fair to Joe, that would have been a MAJOR RISK with No Reward type of match
Thats almost as poor a comparison as the one in the opening post.
On topic, I think Calzaghe (when he was still fighting) would win a clear, 8-4 sorta decision. Dawson has all the talent but is mentally weak, he'd get overwhelmed.
Yeah, that was the point - the TS' idea is ludicrous.
Calzaghe couldn't even Lacy Sakio Bika. Calm down.

Yeah Calzaghe did always find a way to win, if Jones and Hopkins were younger they would have destroyed Calzaghe! He was almosted KO'D vs a 44 year old Hopkins.

He wasn't even close to getting ko'd by hopkins, jones came closer and even then calzaghe's head cleared in a matter of seconds. I think both guys probably beat him prime for prime, but that is no slander on calzaghe, prime jones destroyed james toney who himself is a legitmately great fighter. Hopkins was still a great fighter the night he fought calzaghe, not far from his best people always use the age thing as an excuse...use your eyes and actually see the fighter that is in the ring, more fans should rely on their own judgement rather than go along with general opinion. No one rips margarito for losing to a 36 year old mosley, why? Because he looked great and won.
no dawson would beat that version of hopkins based on activity and workrate/speed, seriously who else is there on calzaghes resume that dawson couldnt beat, Kessler? lol
Eubank woulda beat Dawson that night,that's for sure...
No he wouldn't have. Last night's Dawson is not the same Dawson we usually see. Calzaghe would have had his hands full, but probably found a way to win.
I agree, dawson is a very good fighter on the outside so that makes it tough for calzaghe, but he would have found a way, dawson gets unsettled by educated pressure
