calzaghe would never fight dawson

[IMDAZED]

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

Dirk, at times I'll humor you but sometimes you pick arguments that are completely irrelevant.

The point of the post is to say that Hopkins is deserving of a rematch more than anyone - especially Kessler since I read a couple posts saying he should get one. Whether or not he had an opportunity to fight someone who could prove himself worthy is his own business - obviously he seriously values his WBA title. But getting back to the POINT, Hopkins deserves a shot over him.

[IMDAZED]

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

Cheers to that.

Hopkins deserves a shot over him.

Does he deserve a rematch over Dawson.

Does he deserve a rematch over Dawson.

Yes he does IMO. But if Calzaghe isn't willing to give him one then Chad Dawson would be a wonderful, wonderful statement fight by Joe.

Anyone's available anytime, everyone knows this.

-Not available
-Mandatories
-Not on the TV Networks ok list
-TV networks blocking each other out
-Promoters not willing to entertain a fight
-Fighters not wiling to entertain a fight
-Promoters not making a deal and settling
-Fighters not willing to go fight in some locations
-Fighters no willing to change weight
-Fighters wanting a tune up instead
-Fighter not willing to fight another Mexican
-Fighter not willing to wait until a certain month

These things just never happen, unheard of. How naive and idealistic, each and every one has happened numerous times, even recently.

Nothing irrelevent. You made a point of saying that Kessler is fighting chumps while Hopkins is fight the Great Pavlik.

You're comparing two completely different situations again. If you give me the name of a fighter that Kessler couldve fought and chose not to then we can sit and compare. Pavlik's team were more interested in fighting Welterweights than Kessler who was never mentioned as a possible opponent. The only reason Hopkins got the fight is because Team Pavlik had nowhere to go.

I thought Kesslers performance against Calzaghe was more admirable than what Hopkins offered

Well that's where we disagree.

I don't know about "admirable" but I thought Hopkins gave Calzaghe a far tougher fight, lost a close split decision and hence should get a rematch.

Most ironic **** Ive ever read. YOU asking someone to stick to the point?

Remember when you started picking at me because I said Hopkins debuted at LHW and you said it was 177lbs.

Oh dear.

No actually, I remember you saying middleweight.

Well I found Kessler's willingness to actually engage in a fight more admirable than what Hopkins offered.

Still waiting for those names Kessler shouldve fought to make his situation comparable to Hopkins'.........
