calzaghe would never fight dawson

[IMDAZED]

I and most wouldn't want to see another painful non fighting, fight, with Hopkins. Calzaghe beats him clearer and it's a waste of time, things aren't as different as people like to think, cos he beat a vastly more limited non throwing Pavlik.

Dawson vs Joe would be good to see, but so would RJJ vs Hopkins 2, or ODL vs Margarito, Pac vs JMM 3, Wlad vs Vitali, Hopkins vs Kessler.

It doesn't mean their going to happen, and you don't hear people complaining about those anywhere near as much, infact combined probably at times. So it underlines the fact some people just can't handle Joe retiring undefeated.

I know RJJ isn't the toughest fight out there, but it's tougher than Pavlik. It's a big money, big name, big event old rival big matchup and retirement fight, who can blame him. If he'd have fought Pavlik he'd be another that becomes hugely over rated over night so there's no winning, and Dawson is a last minute trump card.

Myself and plenty of others have been talking up Dawson for months. To say he's a last minute trump card is laughable, especially since these same people noted that Pavlik would probably lose to Calzaghe.

I've heard that "no rematch because it would be boring" excuse before. Oscar De La Hoya said it right after he fought Ike Quartey. I guess Pernell Whitaker should have never received a rematch against Ramirez.

The truth is, we knew the first Hopkins-Calzaghe fight wasn't going to be exciting. We got what we expected, with many differing opinions on who won. A rematch is ABSOLUTELY in order, especially since Hopkins went out and beat the next thing he could find to force a rematch - unlike talking a good game while fighting chumps like Kessler. But hey, what can I say? Even Calzaghe's fans are in a rush to see him retire. Strange.

Kessler's a chump but Pavlik's not?

[egreezy]

why are ppl saying calzaghe does not need dawson? in what sense of the word need as in fame or legacy? he is not #1 p4p so i think he does need him.

I didn't say kessler was a chump. I said he's fighting chumps.

Who could Kessler have fought in his last fight? Just out of interest?

Ask his management.

I said he's fighting chumps.

You realise that was his mandatory right?

Surely he's allowed one comeback fight and then a mandatory...

Sure. But he's certainly not deserving of a rematch over Hopkins as some here have intimated.

Ask his management.

Nah im asking you. Who was willing/available to fight?

[hammerhiem]

Sure. But he's certainly not deserving of a rematch over Hopkins as some here have intimated.

Not by anyone with an IQ, he has a division full of people to put in thier place first.
