    Calzaghe Should Have Fought Dawson

    I always said this, but tonite just confirms what I already knew. Calzaghe would have beaten the living hell out Dawson for 12 rounds, maybe even have taken him out late. Of course, the 'slick American' fans would say that Dawson was overrated and that Calzaghe retired to duck Ward. However, it would have been nice to have seen it.

    This is exactly why calzaghe didn't bother his arse with Dawson similar too Kelly pavlik situation they aren't big draws and both pose a small threat but he would have beaten them both .

      Calzaghe can beat any overrated yank, Andre Ward, Chad Dawson, Kelly Pavlik. Andre Ward would probably be the hardest fight though with his mauling headbutting style. Those dirty ass fighters are always the hardest fighters to beat.

              I hate Calzaghe, but I think he would slap Chad to a twelve round decision win.

                Calzaghe made a mistake again though, Calzaghe should have fought Kelly Pavlik and Chad Dawson. Even though people would have said Calzaghe was overrated after beating them, atleast history wise he'd have more opponents on his resume. Calzaghe could slap a bear up for 12 rounds and still not get credit.

                  After tonight, Calzaghe > Dawson.

                  Dawson is a good fighter still, but he was overrated. He has good technical boxing skills, but he takes too many breaks and doesn't have the work-rate or stamina to keep up with Calzaghe. Joe blow would have outworked him for a UD.

                    Agree. Like his fight against Bika.
