Does Dawson still get overrated on here anyone think?

Calzaghe, the super middleweight was the best in the division?

Says a lot about the quality of this division. Just stacked with old men.

Yes.

Hopkins and Calzaghe were the best opposition available to Chad.

He requested to fight both of them.

And he got ducked.

Plain and simple.

Pascal had just had shoulder surgery. People use that excuse as well and it's weak. Really weak.

I'm not talking about excuses, or what i think happened. I'm just saying from watching the fight, 1 fighter was using both his hands, and the other only 1.

And it goes back to what I said in the first part of this thread before my other posts even saw the light of day. Regardless of Hopkins turning him down in the past doesn't justify this bullshit people are spewiing off and bashing him for going after Pascal now. That's been getting on my nerves lately and I'm not even a Hopkins fan anymore really.

I've said many times I don't think highly of Pascal, but hell when Hopkins said something about fighting Froch people shit on that because they viewed Froch as a come forward fighter who only made up for lack of skill with power and determination. But Dawson couldn't even get past the guy who lost to Froch. So what does that tell you? I guarantee you Dawson won't do shit outside of maybe winning a rematch with Pascal. He won't beat any of the top three guys in the super six and I don't even think he can beat Cloud. I'll bet my points on it if anybody is interested.
