Joe Calzaghe vs Chad Dawson

[TheGreatA]

Just saying, if you were American you would say Americans are the best that's the way you are.

I look at talent not at nationality and I can see talent in both Mundine and Dawson. Too bad Mundine started late and has been wasting his career and is 32 years old now. Dawson might lose to Johnson and Calzaghe but he still has 10 or more years left in his career.

Yes you have some points. Kelly and Dawson are great fighters, but nationality creates tendencies of bias.

Mundine will fight until hes 40. Hes peaking late. Always has been an athlete. look at hopkins now. Mundine lives off the land, eats goanna and lizards every day. If anyone is to fight late, i put some points on him. But he will probably fight bums till his 50 and rip off the aussie public. Anyway im off for tonight mate.

Right now Calzaghe wins a decision, I could change my mind after Dawson fights Johnson though.

I'll be honest I've not seen a great deal of Dawson but what I have seen he is big and strong, not as fast as Calzaghe and I'm not 100% sure about his chin although I doubt Calzaghe hits hard enough at 175 to make an impact on it.

Is Calzaghe gonna be strong enough at 175?
What's his stamina gonna be like at 175 and will father time catch up on him?
Will he maintain his speed at 175?
These would be very important questions if this fight were to materialise.

If the answers are YES to all 3 then I say he wins a UD.

From what I've seen Dawson is fast and powerful but we've yet to see him against a proven opponent, that will change when he fights Glen but Glen is a 40-year old man. Glen can still go but I doubt he can beat Dawson and even if he does, he's gonna get robbed.

I've heard that Dawson's chin is made of glass and he has been dropped a few times but that was Floyd Sr who said it and we all know Floyd Sr.

Floyd Sr also called Dawson a ****** and said he will be exposed soon. Lets see if his prediction holds true.

The Glen Johnson fight will prove what Dawson is made of but Johnson is still not someone like Calzaghe. Calzaghe can get into your head and ruin your boxing and so can Glen but their skills are on a bit different level.

Or that's what I think, lets see how Calzaghe performs against B-Hop. I think he will get a close but ugly decision.

Yes you have some points. Kelly and Dawson are great fighters, but nationality creates tendencies of bias.

Yup, it's easy for me to say you are biased but I guess I would be supporting good Finnish boxers too... if there were any.

I think everyone has a bit of bias in them whether they admit it or not. Funnily enough I try not to be but if I am then I think it's only with 2 fighters at most. First off with Lennox Lewis not because he's british but I think technically he was the best in regards to his all round game he could do it all better than anyone else. Yes Ali was a better boxer and Tyson better coming forward but as far as all round package and being able to do everything really well it was Lennox, not saying he's the greatest but definately top3 IMO and underated by many which will change in time.
Secondly my biggest bias goes towards my favourite boxer ever and although he won't be considered as an all-time great he could have been if he never wasted his talent and wasn't so bloody ****y and that's Michael Nunn and he is American not british. The most beautiful boxer to watch and he made it look so easy.

Anyway back to the point in question if both win their upcoming fights which is no forgone conclusion then I'd like to see it happen. But I don't think it ever will.

I don't think Calzaghe is unbeatable but he is a very good fighter and one of the best this country has produced.

I think the glen Johnson fight will be the next big test for Dawson if he passes it easy then i would say he has a good chance against Calzaghe.

[RichCCFC]

Calzaghe is way too clever for him at the moment.

[HappyBoxingFan]

Yeah, I think Calzaghe would probably point him. Small chance Dawson could hurt him early.

[Diego Morales]

Calzaghe wins a tough UD, Dawson is bad but I think Calzaghe outpoints him and I hope this fight happens!!!! Man Hopkins, De La Hoya and Mosley all need to hang it up they are just messing up the divisions anymore!!!!
