why isnt chad dawson getting calzaghe hate for chasing 40 year olds?

[Lead Cenobite]

Dawson is a young fighter picking on old men.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

im sorry but this is double standards and pathetic..dawson needs to cut the **** and fight some prime fighters..hell joe was 36-37 and moving up in weight...damn

i'm really not trying to sound like a hater but it's american double standard, simple as that.

If it was just one Tarver fight then you could say it's equivalent to a Jones fight. Both were washed up while Jones was obviously a waaaay better fighter in his prime.

The fact that Dawson dorpped the belt and ended up fighting Tarver a second time is absurd.

Not fighting Cloud, Diaconu, or Pasal - 2 fights with johnson and all this as a 25/26 yr old vs Calzaghe being 36/37, obviously not the same.

Rematch clause. Pretty simple to see. Plus HBO sanctioned the rematch for like 3 or 4 million? What do you expect? Write a letter to the ethics committee for gods sake.

your obviously a clueless ****** just spouting a bunch of ******ed **** from your ******ed perspective, everything is against the europeans, everyone is against the europeans? shut the **** up, im european
it has more to do that no one is claiming chad dawson as an ATG and no one is claiming his best win is against a 40 year old, chad has already accomplished more than calzaghe in fact, he's fought adamek, which is twice the fighter kessler ever was and has achieved more already

he had to rematch tarver, it was in the contract, he did'nt want to fight johnson again but ******s like you who cant score a fight made it happen

atleast he rematched the 40 year old and won clearly, calzaghe just got by with a SD and never reedemed himself, dawson gave johnson a rematch after a UD, jones gave tarver a rematch after a MD

but Mr. im gonna face the number 1 lightheavyweight and barely squeeze out a win then fight someone not even ranked in the top 10 to retire on.
and dawson wants hopkins because he's for some reason ranked above him

how the **** is it doublestandards? Everyone Chad has fought was rated ABOVE Cloud, Pascal and Diaconu.

Let me ask you something, besides Dawson, who is the best LHW? Who is the biggest name? After you answer that, who is Dawson calling out?

jesus christ your stupid, and your 28?

[2501]

Calzaghe fans look stupider and stupider when talking about Chad

[2501]

jesus christ your stupid, and your 28?

No, the most idiotic portion of that is that he's a Floyd fan talking **** about another fighter's fight choices.
