Calzaghe. I think he'd win quite comfortably to be honet. He'd outwork Dawson and grind him down in the latter half. Calzaghe by UD.

I could see this happening, but how do you think Calzaghe copes with Dawson's combination punching?

It would of been an exciting fight, its a shame it didn't happen

It depends Dawson has no killer instinct if he did he would be just about unbeatable. So yeah there is a chance Dawson starts slow only to knockout him out in the last 3 rounds(what should of happen against Pascal) but Dawson if on can out class ANYBODY.

I think Dawson is that talented if he had that killer instinct he would be the best.

Do you think Manny Steward is a step in the right direction?

Didnt think much of Calzaghe at LHW too be honest,Dawson would have caused him a lot of problems especially in the first half of the fight,but id imagine joe too grind out a close UD

It is a slam dunk except that I am worried about how much attention Manny can give him. Manny seems to be training a lot of high priority guys these days
