Chad Dawson: Did I fall asleep for 3 years or some ****?

[slicksouthpaw16]

Dawson was not even mentioned as little as three weeks ago. The guy that Calzaghe had to beat was Pavlik back then. Dawson is the guy that Calzaghe has to beat purely by default. There really is NOONE ELSE. If Calz were to beat Dawson they'd really have to sc**** the barrel.

Dawson is more proven than Pavlik is, and is actually in Calzaghe's weight division and with his style, he is the biggest young threat that Joe would have fought in his entire career. I would pick Dawson and i would bet every single point that i have.

If Dawson is so **** hot why didn't anyone even think of his name until Pavlik lost to Hopkins?

Well he never gets any press, because he is a show time fighter and has a cheap promoter ( as Darkstar777 says). Pavlik was with HBO and that's the biggest boxing network, so he had no problem getting all of the attention and he was also a crowd pleasing fighter with great power. Dawson is one of those fighters that is a HUGE risk but little reward, and you can check my posts from over a year ago, i have been talking about this fight for a long time.

Wow, I cannot believe the dismissing of Dawson in this thread. The kid is tremendous. Fast hands, great body puncher, great movement and footwork and a decent pop. I'd absolutely favour him to beat Calzaghe. In fact, most people did on here before last night.

And now suddenty, he can't hold Calzaghe's jock strap because Calzaghe beat the version of RJJ we saw last night?

Jesus, it's amazing what beating a shot legend can do for you.

saying Calzaghe will beat Dawson isn't the same as him actually beating Dawson in real life. you do understand that right???

True words right here.

saying Mayweather will beat Cotto/Margarito isn't the same as him actually beating Cotto/Margarito in real life. you do understand that right???


Surely you'll agree.

its still more feasible to assume mayweather could before calzaghe because him being #1 p4p and superior skillset, but your point still stands.
