Yet you like Dawson who has fought as many 40yr olds in 6 months as Calzaghe has in 15 years. Also not a good idea to mention Cherrypickers and unifying when you have that avatar. Also he lives in Wales, not England. But apart from that, solid post. Good work.atsch
Yeh but like the setanta comintateors said he might have been doing it as a tirbute to Roy but i think he wasnt trowing full force punchs because they are good friends and he did not want to hurt Roy like he could have so for that i applaude joe
He was only two years younger than roy, what about dawson picking on tarver. Yes he was a shadow of his former self but it was roy jones who asked Calzaghe. Why do we brits get accused of hiding I don't see any of you coming over here to challenge our champions. I'm not a big JC fan but when the Next best thing to slice bread came over lacy he got a pasting of a life time.
Dawson didn't hide in Wales his WHOLE career than come out to fight ATGs when they were old as ****, he's fighting the guys that are available for him to fight, his resume is as good as Slappy's. Calslappy could have unified at 168 in the late 90s and fought RJJ and Bhops when they were at thier peaks but he decided to cherry pick because thats what he does best.:smoke
How does him trying to fight Hopkins in 2002 = him cherrypicking? Dawson's resume is as good as Calzaghes, haha, you ****!
Where to start. Why would Dawson hide in Wales?, fair enough its a lovely place whith nice spots for his tent, but as we know Chad can find good spots to pitch his tent in the states.:hey What Career? Diaconu?, maybe.....(see Tentgate) What resume? Bhop broke a verbal contract to fight in 2002. Roy and Joe should have happened but both wanted to be at home, more blame should go to Joe(and Frank) coz Roy was the man. Again, you cant mention cherrypicking, when you have Roy in your avatar. What he does best is winning. (as foreign a concept that may be to you)
Hopkins was considered shot at 40, Now look what he did to pavlik at 43 against a 26 ko artist? There is only a age gap of about 2 years between roy and joe, Joe will beet anyone at light heavyweight.
because joe was high risk low reward. joe never made himself marketable enough. jones - if you want the top dog you have to earn it. in both cases calzaghe never wanted to make himself marketable enough to make either of these fights happen.
I still dont get how JC got away with dropping his hands behind his back and sticking his face out - this while Jones did nothing, NOTHING! That is the sickening part for me....:-(
Um no Calslappy is 36, roy will be 40 in 8 weeks, anyway Slappy has admited RJJ is shot. As far as Dawson goes, he was fighting a belt holder so he was unifying plus he is fighting who is available it's not like he could've fought him earlier like Slappy. As for Brits hideing, Warren is a POS and needs to go, Hatton used to hide but I give him props for fighting an ATG at his peak even though he got KO'd. And I'm on the Haye bandwagon he has shown balls by by becoming undisputed at CW, then Challenging Wlad.
