    Ive wondered this too.

    36 year old Calzaghe gets stick for fighting Hopkins and Jones.

    But 26 year old Dawson fights two 40 year olds back to back and nothing gets said.

    I see nothing wrong with either but its amazing to see some people's hypocrisy

        I had glenn johnson beating dawson, but maybe glenn either has a worse style for chad or that chad will greatly improve before or if he fights Hopkins... Or glenn johnson might have more left in the tank then hopkins?

          Not sure too many people will admit it but I suspect Bernard Hopkins would struggle pretty badly against Chad Dawson.

            Co-sign..dawson Is To Young Too Fast And Too Powerful For B-hop..and Hopkins Said Before The Calzaghe Fight He'd Never Fight Chad

                      Are you ****** or something? Hopkins beat the universally recognised Champ at 175 in Tarver. So he was the Man at the weight regardless of ANY belt.
