Does the magic man still have it?

[Dan...]

first of all that was my opinion, so dont throw anyone else under the bus. Secondly........he's still learning man, he's young and do you know what every young, skilled, really talented boxer needs to be complete.......................................CON FIDENCE. When he f's up Tarver the confidence will be there and we will witness Dawson mature in front of our very own eyes

Your buddy egreezy used the term "exposed". EIther way you are both implying an easy victory for Chad if he was to fight Calzaghe. You can talk about confidence from beating Tarver or whatever you like but it doesn't change the fact that Dawson having an easy time with Joe is a completely ridiculous notion.

[egreezy]

You guys are incredible. I am a big Dawson fan but you watch him get by Adamek in a fight in which he struggled badly in late and then win a close decision over Johnson and all of a sudden he would "kill" Calzaghe? I mean really, wtf?

obliterates him lol. bigger, stronger, faster. adamek and johnson have more power then calzaghe, i dont see him being able to hurt chad. the question is does dawson gas late or just get in trouble ****ing?

As for Tarver I don't know what to say about him, he's getting older, and has regressed, not the fighter he used to be 4 years ago, but then again he started his career late. It all depends which fighter shows up, if Tarver and Dawson both show up 100% it's going to be one hell of a fight.

My biggest concern is Dawson himself. From what I've seen he's actually regressed since leaving Mayweather Sr. And it's not like Dawson needs Mayweather Sr. because he looked good under Dan Birmingham and IceMan John Sully, (his other previous trainers) but Mayweather Sr. had Dawson fighting the way he's suppose to be fighting, using the jab, head movement, and fighting intelligently. Mayweather Sr. likes to work on head movement and defense, something Dawson needs to improve on. This is really a 50/50 fight.

[Boxingwizard]

I just really hope Eddie Muhammad fixes Dawson's mistakes, (mainly his defense) and gets back to form offensively, because if he doesn't Dawson could lose this match.

And I thought this thread was about Malignaggi!...




























*leaves*

LMAO, btw Tarver will be victorious

[Zocalo]

I don't think so... you can suddenly get real old in a fight that doesn't follow your game plan.
