How long does a fighter stay a prospect? In Dawson case:
WBC Light Heavyweight Champion.
IBF Light Heavyweight Champion.
IBO Light Heavyweight Champion.
#2 ranked by Ring Magazine at LHW.
Tarver x2
Johnson
Adamek
Harding
Dawson has and did more then enough to warrant a fight with Calzaghe. He isn't Jeff Lacy!
The real fact is - Calzaghe was getting on a bit in boxing years and didn't want to put his legacy at risk against a young, dangerous fighter, so he used the 'He isn't a big enough draw' excuse.
If Calzaghe can fill 50,000 sits in Cardiff fighting Manfredo, then he can sure as hell sell the same fighting someone who was actually fit to share a ring with him and not some joke off a TV show.
Calzaghe didn't want none. END OF!
