    Zaggers on workrate. Dawson can be too passive, Calzaghe would capitalise on that

    Pascal's pressure beat Dawson.

    Calzaghe's pressure would be tougher for Dawson to handle than a street hooker who's first client of the night was a guy who just got out after 40 years in the joint cornholing....

    I don't know.. Joe had good foot speed and was in range to land his punches... Joe also counters well.. My question is if Chad is on his game.. How does Joe Counter the 4 punch combo.. if he can thward that High output attack he beats Dawson...

    Dawson stops him brutally round 2. Calzaghe glass gets shattered as Chad walks through his slaps and abuses him.

    Joe wouldn't allow Chad to throw that Combo the same way he didn't allow Lacy to throw his left hook and the same way he even managed to nulify the great Bernard Hopkins down the pipe right after Hopkins knocked him down.

    Dawson would win imo. Calzaghe is a southpaw, he won't be able to exploit Dawson as well as Hopkins did.

    All Hopkins did was use footwork to force Dawson to use his left-hand more. He banked on Dawson not using the left-cross as much, and he was right. He still lost because Dawson is just that good and talented, and Hopkins wasn't active enough.

    Because Calzaghe is a southpaw, Dawson's right jab and right rook will be much more efficient.
