    What's all this Dawson talk? Did you not see the Johnson fight?

    Since the Calzaghe fight I've read statements like "Daswon would beat Calzaghe" "Dawson would school Kessler" and "Dawson would win a wide UD over Hopkins".

    Johnson made a fool of Dawson and now ya'll expect him to beat these top fighters psssh.

    I personally dont like how people instantly throw a new challenger right in front of the winner of a bout, I do think dawson would be a test for Joe but not at the moment, Dawson is a southpaw like joe and glen johnson is a tough fighter to beat IMO.......Only Hopkins has beaten him without any controversy....Even Tarver refuse to fight johnson after getting his revenge in a rematch with him.

      It was a close fight... A draw would maybe have been the best outcome of the fight. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing a re-match to settle it.

          I think Dawson has improved since that fight and I thought he won the fight anyway. Stylistically, he can give Calzaghe troubles as well IMO.

            Silencers I usually agree with your opinions, I don't know I must be looking at a different fighter or something, I think Kessler Calz and maybe Hopkins beat Dawson.

              Name one top fighter who hasn't got a gift decision at some point of there career? Their can't be many?

              Dawson is still green but is improving all the time and his resume is impressive for this stage of his career. He has some good notable wins after 28 outings:

              Tomasz Adamek.
              Antonio Tarver.
              Glen Johnson.

              Former WBC light heavyweight champion.
              Current IBO and IBF light heavyweight champion.

              That **** ain't bad after 28 fights, and it may be too early to throw him in a the mix with the likes of Hopkins and Calzaghe? but he beats Kessler at 175 IMO and am off for a ****!

                Styles make fights, I'm a big believer of that, Dawson's style can give Calzaghe trouble IMO.

                  I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing him against Hopkins though.
