Dawson can't be compared to Calzaghe....just yet

I agree, but the matter in which Chad beat those three guys is unimpressive when you stop to think about it. Even though Chad beat Adamek convincingly because of the early rounds of where he boxed his ears off, he suffered a little bit of Zab Judah syndrome toward the end of the fight after he got dropped in the 10th round I believe. Adamek won the rest of the rounds in that fight in my view and it makes me wonder if Chad might have went on to suffer his first defeat if it had been a 15 round fight. His next test against Johnson, he didn't pass with flying colors at all. I scored that fight 7-5 for Glen with the 10th round being a 10-8 round. Now Chad did beat Tarver both times decisively. But Tarver had already been beaten in a lot more devastating fashion by Bernard Hopkins than Tarver's both fights with Chad combined.

well, if you want to talk about chad's unimpressive wins agaisnt johnson and tarver, I go through atleast 6 bums that Calzaghe had unimpressive fights with as well.

And to assume that chad winning 11 of 12 rounds against Adamek is any indication that he would have lost had it have been 15 rounds, is just ridiculous. I'm not gonna say that it wouldn't have happened, but seriously, that is just an out-of-the-blue assumption and besides, it wasn't a 15 round fight so that is a moot point anyway.

These unimpressive wins by both of them is why I'm not a fan of either guy. I just think that Calzaghe is the better fighter, plain and simple.

not a little.... A LOT.

Adamek, Johnson and Tarver(twice) >>>>>> Eubanks.

Do you mean that these fighters were better overall than Eubank or that they were better at that stage in their careers?

Or are you talking about the manner of victory?

On all 3, you'd be mistaken.

More ******ation. In which of these wins against "bums" was Calzaghe being pounded around the ring, staggering and hurt the way Dawson was against Johnson?
