Dawson was such a hype job

[Dirk Diggler UK]

gary shaw would have taken that fight for dawson for six dollars fifty and a can of diet coke. i'd say that he'd do it for a tank of gas [petrol to you limeys,] but i know for certain that shaw drives a prius.

calzaghe, being terrified of dawson's youth and size, retired.


only hopkins and zaghe fanboys watched that fight in '08 without thinking "so that's why these two don't fight chad dawson." they looked like old men.

that was the fight where hopkins kept going to the wrong corner, if memory serves right. zaghe's best moves involved hip gyrations in bernard's direction.



i actually think that dawson would be enough of an idiot to pull his usual BS and get outworked by zaghe in '08, but it was clear that calzaghe's people did not want the fight. poopkins people waited until they thought dawson had slowed down as well, but that's more of a matter of dawson's style being all wrong for an aging hopkins. dawson still beat him, and he should have done it twice. hopkins clearly looked for a way out in the first fight.

the only real roadblock was american network TV, as dawson was a showtime fighter at that point, and somebody they were really trying to push.

Calzaghe was terrified of Chad Dawson's massive fanbase and huge PPV appeal.

Seriously though, Dawson would look like one of those girls in a Bukkakke video in that fight, where the guys are like aiming at the eye balls. He'd be squinting and taking shots from all angles.

Dawson legitimately whipped bhop. Hes good just not the best in a decent era.

Calzaghe was terrified of Chad Dawson.

quoted for truth, yo.

He had me worried when Johnson was smacking him around.

[Spray_resistant]

He has talent and world class skill but its hard for fans to estimate mentally resolve and durability until we see it on display.

Man I saw this thread title and was gonna come in here and say the same thing. Bravo. I swear boxing fans are worst.

Earl Hickey is clearly trolling and can be excused as such. The #1Assassin (a generic, insipid username for a generic, insipid person) on the other hand is genuinely a clueless putz, and too much of a dork to know whether someone is taking the piss or not.

According to NSB....Pac, Floyd and now Chad Dawson are hype jobs....smh....but GGG, Kovalev and Matthysse are the real deals....only on NSB

It's not like the same people that say Pac is a hypejob are saying GGG or Matthysse are the real deal. There are clear patterns to what fighters will be called hypejobs by what fanbases.

Are you ******ed? Seriously.

So how come Calzaghe fought shot to hell roy jones instead of dawson after who just beat up tarver and outpointed Johnson who joe ducked THREE times.

Explain you nutthugging weiner sucker

Cherry picked the legitimate champion a weightclass above yourself. I've heard it all now. Who was it that said?: "I'll never let a white boy beat me!". Joe clearly cherry picked that one.

Calzaghe could have fought Hopkins or Jones anytime during his awful 168 reign.but hid in england like a girl hiding from mike tyson.

And tell me smart guy what was dawson doing when joe cherry picked hopkins At 175 jackass
