LAS VEGAS, NEV. � Undefeated two-time world light heavyweight champion CHAD DAWSON took time out of training for his world title defense rematch against Antonio Tarver to comment on the retirement of undefeated two-division world champion Joe Calzaghe (46-0, 32 KOs), of Wales. [details]

HAHAHAHAHAHA lets see how Calzaghe's fans react to the new king. Lets enjoy them saying "Why doesn't Dawson fight him?" Only to be hushed by the Calzaghe comparison. Dawson is going for that record and will show everyone how fake JC was by beating it early.

Dawson is a good young fighter, and has shown what a classy guy he is in this interview (unlike carl froch). Unfortunately many people on this forum don't have the same class

I just want to see Chad get the same protection as Calzaghe did, not more, just the same and then see what the Calzaghe fans have to say about it.

Dawson is a quality fighter and would have been Calaghe's greatest win had they though, and Calzaghe managed to beat him.

Damn I never realized how classy Dawson is.

You say protected I say avoided probably somewhere in between

I gained alot of respect for Dawson in that, great guy.

I hope he does well

Can't call yourself the king unless you beat Hopkins, or at the very least, rematch Johnson. I still think it's funny Dawson won't fight Kessler at a catchweight, but wants to fight Paul Williams at 168. And Dawson was claiming to be king before Calzaghe retired, saying that the Ring belt doesn't mean anything.
