Chad Dawson: "I Applaud Calzaghe, Now I am The King"

[BetterCallSaul]

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]

Dawson is a good fighter, but he is delusional if he thinks he is above Hopkins.

[Chr0nic]

Classy respectful comments, from a realist and real boxing fan.

At complete odd's and sods with Carl Froch. If one Carl realised he was only hampering his changes for a fight due to his behaviour in addition to being ****, and Dawson was considered cos he's better and more respectful.

I half think Dawson knows Calzaghe woulda beaten him I'm afraid, as I've never strongly heard him say much different, and he's gotten quite quite about fighting either Hops or Calzaghe. He seems to content and blaze about being the likely future #1 as if out of default, both the current #1 and 2 guys beat him though in most views so it's a tad rich to say "king".

Anyways he's entitled to say it to an extent, great fighter and will be awhile til I see Dawson losing if at all. All the best to Hopkins, Calzaghe and Dawson.

stfu hater

There is no doubt that Dawson is the future of the light heavy division, but I would like to see him fight Hopkins, and then Kessler. If he can beat both of those, then he would be p4p one of the best on the planet.

Dawson vs Kessler...


nice.

i wanna see that, though dawsons chin might fail him, i think he is the better fighter

[Mozza]

Classy sentiments from Dawson. Some people on here would do well to follow his example.

"welcome to the Dawson era"...........KING CHAD, it has a nice ring to it

[venomk1]

id like to see him fight hopkins too but you dont know which hopkins will turn up..constant hugging spoiling boring hopkins or world class kelly pavliks worst nightmare hopkins, if its the latter it would be a top fight.

[DrewWoodside]

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.

He's already had less IMO

[The Hammer]

Chad Dawson has shown he has a lot more class than Carl Froch, by being respectful toward Joe upon his retirement.
