    Beside Johnson beat Dawson
    It's a myth that "Dawson was unknown" as he'd just beaten both Tarver and Johnson, he called out Joe till the cows came home and said "it could be Joe's last fight in front of all of his fans", but Joe knew Dawson would have given him all sorts of problems so of course made excuses and then left the sport.

    And if "Johnson beat Dawson" then Hopkins definitely beat Joe, and at least Dawson has the guts to face his opponant again, unlike your dancer friend from Wales .

      Dirrell is going to pull the same crap he did against Curtis Stevens. He's gonna run like the ****ens. You can see this one coming a mile away.

        Your joking aren't you, Joe is as biased as his fans.

            People are really underestimating Dirrell in this fight. I think he is going to KFrochTFO! Joe said it, Froch has no defense. Dirrell has major power in both hands, not to mention that he can initiate the action as well as counterpunch. He was losing to punk ass JT, before rallying. I think Froch will go all out, but I feel that he is outclassed in talent and skill against Dirrell. Dirrell by 8th rd KO!

              What do you expect Calzaghe to say? The guy I hang my resume on is gonna get knocked out? Every fighter would do the same.

                Love him or hate him Joe is a former fighter who should know what he is talking about. I have read some articles where he breaks down fights quite well actually. I love former fighters with a brain breaking down fights. I would think Joe could do it pretty well like Tarver does today for Showtime.

                  I actually think Ward might be one of the toughest for Kessler to deal with.

                    I agree. I think that's a really good fight. I suspect Ward is going to be switching southpaw a lot and giving Kessler a lot of different looks but one straight right hand should slow all that down.

                      On paper every fight is kinda tough. I would think the toughest fight for Kessler would be Taylor or Abraham.
