      Joe might tease negotiations for these matches but I doubt they get made. He's likely gonna retire.

          What are you talking about? Louis had more and Lopez was lineal the whole time; Joe wasn't even seen as the best fighter in the division until a few years in. Liles was rated higher in 1997 and Ottke had as strong a case as Joe for a while. Counting Jones, he has 22 title defenses. That's less than Louis by 3 and spread across two divisions. Lopez had 24 across two divisions and 22 at 105.

            the fact that the article leans to a re-match with Hopkins makes it total bull****. joe would never consider hopkins. bull**** article.

              Ok, whats he surposed to do when there is a sold out show and all the credible opponents keep chickening out???

              The polish bouncer was better than Evans Ashira.

                  Froch the northern monkey is 31 and has still not even fought a top 10 ranked SMW in any of the 4 belt organisations. He's a joke as his boxrec record shows.

                    honestly think there are'nt many people that can beat calzaghe right now, think dawsons gonna lose to him also

                    calzaghe had a bad era, and never exactly got a great fighter in his prime

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.
                      There were some rounds that Dawson was controlling for the first two minutes and than Johnson would have a late rally. (rounds 3 and 10) Some rounds were dead even (rounds 11, and 12). So yes it was a very hard fight to score, but don't worry there will be a rematch, possibly the next fight.

                      But you have to admit, you would be excited about a Dawson-Calzaghe fight, right? I just think Dawson has to fight Johnson first before fighting Calzaghe, Hopkins or anyone else. And most likely that would be Dawson's next opponent.
