Dawson wants Hopkins and Roy Jones. Watch this get universally praised.
Calzaghe wanted Hopkins & Roy Jones.
Both names are future Hall of Famers why wouldn't you want them on your resume???
Roy is out of contention now though. But I honestly cannot see what the outcry is all about going for the Hopkins fight. Hopkins is a 43 year old freak that will give most young fighters a run for there money if not a schooling. It won't be a walk in the park, but coming away with an impressive win should be universally praised.
Calzaghe got it and it was far from an impressive win.

I dont disagree.
Im just saying, watch the praise or should I say lack of criticism Dawson will get.
When Calzaghe fought Hopkins, he was fighting a washed up 43 year old who couldnt fight more than 4 rounds.
When Pavlik did it, he was universally praised. Now Dawson is going after him and people are even questioning whether its too hard a fight for him.
When Calzaghe fought Jones, he was fighting a washed up 40 year old shot fighters.
When Dawson says he wants Jones, its "a good name on his resume".
Dawson wants Calzaghe...Calzaghe wants the 0.....hence why this fight isn't happening...
Or because Calzaghe doesnt have any reason to postpone his retirement plans. If he fights on, I think he should fight Dawson. But if he wants to retire, then he can without Dawson being a factor in it. Dawson wont make or break anyones legacy at this stage.
If JC was serious about securing this so called "Legacy" he and the whole boxing universe knows that retiring with Dawson on the prowl, the Champion in his division that everyone is screaming for him to fight will be devastating down the road..IMO he will NEVER be an all time great, its to late for that..But a win over Dawson will shut alot of peoples mouths and gain their respect for the man at the least, i know it will for me tbh, so lets hope he makes that decision
