      I really don't want to sit through 12 rounds of Calzaghe-Hopkins again.
      Johnson actually had a 4th round tko this week or last week

      Perhaps he should fight someone closer to his own age like Tavoris Cloud or Adrian Diaconu?

      Calzaghe has slowed down since the Lacy fight, and he cannot punch like he did against Mitchell and Veit, but he'd still defeat Dawson.
      oh plz, p4p #2, I'm pretty sure you said the exact opposite with Calzaghe win over Hopkins. How he was Ring LHW and P4P win for Calzaghe. But that goes out the window for Dawson? And he still performing close to prime. and your the only person would rather see Diaconu or Cloud vs Dawson before Calzaghe.

        Against a nobody, It's doesn't increase his standing to face Joe in my eyes he's coming off a loss in his last BIG fight.

          Joe will never fight Chad. His name is just being thrown out there so as not to make him look bad. I guarantee that it'll be Hopkins.

          Chad is only going to get better from here on out and Joe will want no part of him in the Summer of '09.

              Froch is your typical english coward type boxer, it will be the easiest fight of Calzaghe's life. Joke Froch thinks he had power and a chin when he's only fought polish bouncer's.

                It wasn't a robbery of epic proportions, but the rounds were quite decisive, and I don't believe there is much room for variety in scoring. To have Chad Dawson winning you have to be giving him credit for things he wasn't doing, and you have to not give credit to Johnson for the things he was doing.

                I have watched that fight several times, I could never score it for Dawson.

                    yeah but I think he's done enough during his career and having supposed to have fought him 2-3 times in the past its owed to him to be considered over a Froch, no matter how popular the guy is.

                      Over Froch certainly, Froch is a terrible fighters all he has is his power. Dawson or Hopkins are the guys Joe needs to focus on is he wants to continue though.
