    I think calz should fight both... i actually believe calz can beat them both.
    I do too, Hopkins clear this time. One of these fights has to happen.

    But you're right - obviously they see threats which is why they are all crying about "he should retire" and "why should he fight them, he'd win easy" yada yada. Are you fans of the sport or family members?

          2. It was a close split decision that many observers were split on. That alone warrants a rematch.

          3. Snoozefests require rematches when it's a fight of this magnitude. Pernell Whitaker, anyone?
          So if the fight is big enough and the decision is a little debated then you would want a return even if it was the dullest fight of the century?

          Well I wouldn't but every man got his pleasures. I can get enough of John Ruiz, Cory Stinks and Sven Ottke thank you.

            I'm sure calz-slappy wont fight dawson. If this fight happens, chad in round 1! joe is probably hiding in his mum's dress right now. joe wont fight a young prime fighter like dawson.

              Like when he wouldn't fight the young/prime Lacy and Kessler?

              Prediction for response: Lolz, but Lacy was rubbish, I sed so afterwads. Kessler is just a freakin Yuro bum.

              Please don't post if you don't have anything interesting to say.

                Yeah, except it's Bernard Hopkins vs. Joe Calzaghe II. I'd like to see that again. But what do I know?

                  Those were hand picked. Look at who they fought... Kessler is STILL fighting out of Denmark (what a great champion huh?) and Lacy just got schooled by Taylor, who was never that great of a fighter. B Hopp beat Calzaghe in many people opinions. I don't agree, i think Calzaghe slightly edged Hopkins that night but that was clearly because Hopkins couldn't fight for 12 rounds at age 43, which is only natural. Dawson would deliver in the first round about the same he'd do in the 12th and that is what puts Calzaghe on the run. Also Calzaghe wouldn't be the stronger man in the ring and we would have to see the guy fighting backwards (Cotto was so great until he had to do that, think Calzaghe could do it?).

                  And please don't compare Dawson to Lacy or Kessler. Dawson's resume is already much better than both of those guys and he's the real champion in the division, not some guy coming up.

                    -- Wales 08 - Who did Joe Calzaghe beat that was great and in their prime? or at least what fighter did he beat that eventually became great?

                      None. Yet he's an hall of famer, ATG, GOAT and the second coming.
