    Dawson could possibly bring more but it's certainly not clear cut. Johnson is a bigger name than Dawson and quite possibly brings more money to the table than Dawson whom is not.

    And Calzaghe beat Hopkins, one measley score card had him losing by -1 round, the other judges a clear consensus win per public opinion also, 3 rounds on one, a wide 5 rounds on another, more than Taylor ever managed.

    Open your mind and look into the info stats and opinion surrounding your subjective rants, your embarrassing yourself.
    Public opinion is actully quite split on this issue.
    And there has been no legitimate poll or item to research about a Calzaghe v Dawson rematch because Calzaghe has no desire to get in the ring with Dawson.

      How about Roy Jones, who fought Prince Badi Amaju, Anthony Hanshaw and a completly shot Trinidad?
      Dawson is a young undefeated champion who has proven more at light heavy that either of those two have as of late.
      They have legend status and name recognition. Dawson has neither.

            show me some official ****.....i dont give a **** about fanboys favoring calzaghe over dawson, that **** doesn't matter to me....it was a hefty amount of people on here who thought pavlik was gonna beat the hell outta hopkins too.....so unless you got posts from experts or acutal boxing writers, i could care less.......

            calzaghe got the fight, yeah one judge gave it to hopkins.....but a lot of other people thought hopkins won too. sorry, im not alone bruh, its not a clear consensus......glen johnson is a journey man w/ 10 losses. he has been fighting longer than chad dawson, BUT he's not a bigger name, and definitely not a bigger prize at this point. i haven't heard ANYONE in recent memory calling for a fight w/ glen johnson...did i mention he LOST to dawson also?

            wtf are you on? save me some of that ****....

                Sucks for Chad in terms of missin an opportunity, but I think he'd lose to Joe anyway. I never figured Zag to accept this fight. Dude is likely gonna walk.

                    honestly i think calz beat dawson but that doesn't mean he shouldn't make the fight. but if calz fought glen johnson i'd be ok with that... i mean johnson is a 40+ year old and that fits calz's MO.

                      you get status and recognition from fighting guys like the slapper

                      how can dawson get recognition when he is avoided

                      to be the best you have to beat the best

                      but in this case the best rather sit home play guitar hero eatin canolies that fight
