Although i agree Calzaghe has a better resume as of now (mostly because of Lacy and Kessler) Dawson already has his Kessler in Adamek and his Roy Jones in the man who originally beat Roy Jones, Tarver. He also arguably, true but still, beat Jonhson who is a handful for anyone even past his prime. Lets not forget Chad, at 26 already has fought and beat 3 undefeated guys one of which a champion. Tarver was also the champion so that makes 2 great and good champions in resume. And he's 10 years younger than Calzaghe. At 26 Calzaghe had ONLY past his prime Eubanks worth mentioning. I'm guessing people soon will be saying Joe Who?
At 26, Dawson's resume already threatens Calzaghe's!!!

I think it can go a bit longer lol
funny thing is i'm not making this out of hate, i really think their close in resumes (Calzaghe is still better even counting on the millions of bums) but Dawson has 10 years ahead to outdo him.

I would agree that Adamek is the same as Joe's win against Kessler, which is both their best wins.
For Tarver: he was not the same when he moved back down and Tarver beat a deflated Jones Jr. Tarver also went through some tough fights against Johnson so one could argue he was worn down.
Dawson didn't look so hot beating Glen Johnson either, but I guess given some of Calzaghe's sub-par performances I've seen back in the day, maybe I'll let it slide. Johnson is a tough fighter, I'll give you that...plus, Joe backed out of a fight with him a couple of times.
Other than that, Dawson still has a lot to prove. I think he is good, but people are starting to overrate him, which is common with fans and their hopes to see the next great thing.
We'll see if he gets better and can prove to be a "great," which is tough given the long history of great fighters at Light-Heavyweight.Last edited by Benny Leonard; 11-18-2008, 03:13 PM.Comment
