Chad Dawson could beat Joe calzaghe

[Mr. Philadel]

The only person I see giving 'Zaghe a challenge anymore is Hopkins, in a rematch. He won't be suffering the thyroid condition this time out, so his stamina will be back to normal. Plus, he'll come in with something to prove and be fully motivated.

Hopkins always performs his best when his back is against a wall. And even with the thyroid condition and piss poor stamina, he gave Joe the hardest fight of Joe's career. Me and many other people scored that one 114-113 for Hopkins.

But Joe won't rematch him, so it's a moot point.

True .......but I think Chad could beat Joe on Chad's best night......but I'm not sure if he could do it on Joe's best night.

i dont know why hes giving that big mouth antonio tarver a rematch he clearly outboxed him, i just finished watching some rounds of the tarver-dawson fight, i havent watched much of chad dawson but ill tell you what, he does fight like a champion, great hand speed for a guy his size, decent power, and good ring movement and reflexes, he would give calslappy a great fight and id say he would beat calslappy.

No he wouldn't.

Calzaghe has never adapted to an elusive style? Hahahahaha.

Name one. Name a good fighter that Joe has adapted to that had an elusive style and where the fight wasn't close? Reid and Hopkins were the only ones, both happen to be controversial.

he could,but if they fight he wont

[street bully]

I doubt it. Chad is good, but the fact that he's young gets people gaga over him, maybe more than they should be. I think he'd be competitive wit Joe, but would get UD'd.

Yes. I think Dawson is an ok fighter, but I think at this point he is just too green for Calzaghe, and doesn;t have the quality that comes with experience to adapt a fighting style mid fight. The only LHW i see beating Calzaghe is Hopkins everyone else loses a wide UD too him.

He's not green at all, he's fought Eric Harding, Tomasz Adamek, Glen Johnson, and Antonio Tarver. He's experienced enough to beat Calzaghe. Dawson is the only one to give Calzaghe a competitive fight and win.

Hopkins vs Calzaghe II would look like the first.

do you think calz will purposely set his retirement fight at around the same time as dawson/tarver so that he can duck dawson or fight dawson before he's had a chance to heal???

[Testdead]

na chad would win, calzaghe beat up a washed up over the hill roy jones jr. come on now a prime roy would whipe the floor with calzaghe, and he had a close fight with hopkins and even got dropped by hopkins, and chad dawson is a legit light heavyweight, i think if he doesnt get on the ropes too much and keeps the shhhit in the middle of the ring he outboxes calzaghe

LOL.

Calzaghe beats Dawson handily.

Why duck Dawson yet fight Lacy and Kessler both fighters were favored over him.

I'm no Calzaghe fan, but I think Calzaghe would pull away in the later rounds and beat him.
