    Seems like even on the oldies excuse, Dawson is by far the one beating up older guys. Looks like that one came back to bite you on the backside.

    It doesn't quite work like that. Everybody ages different so it goes by "freshness."

    ****stars at 22 can have an older ***** than a 30 year old who has had a few partners.


    It's like Tyson and Marciano debate we often see. They bring up Tyson beat up people that were 9+ years older than him, but they forget the age gap is big when you are only 20.


    But it is true, Calzaghe has been able to get the fresher pies in Lacy and Kessler.

    Dawson has Adamek.

      Dawson has fought old men to consolidate his transition from prospect to real deal.

      Slappy has fought old men to beef up a mediocre resume before he retires.

      That's the difference.

            43 and 39 years old. rjj fought some weak ass competition, and I am a Roy fan.
            Joe would get consideribly more credit for an impressive win over Dawson that he would for his W against Roy, and if he won clearly, than his win against Hopkins.

                you have to be one of the most biased, ignorant posters I have encountered.
                You are blatently ignoring the facts behind why these fights took place.

                  mark my words....CALZAGHE IS NOT fighting glen johnson....WHY?????

                  there is little money, almost no reward for beating another old guy who already lost 10 times!!!! it won't prove anything.....

                  calzaghe has already stated he's taking time off, but will return if the money's right for a fight, AND if there's some YOUNG, UPSTART champion he needs to teach a lesson to.....

                  thats a quote.....what part of that reminds you of glen johnson in any way?
                  none of it sounds like glen johnson... but i still think its a decent fight and imho johnson deserves it... he's paid his dues.

                  but i would prefere bhop or dawson, but calz is such a vag i don't think that they will happen.

                      They won't take it on board, unfortunately.

                      They're gonna run and run with the angle that Dawson chases old men now, with little consideration as to the different career stages Dawson and Slappy are at.
