    Joe's workrate currently is unrivalled, right now no-one beats him.

    I don't think Dawson would. I think he's a little limited and not the most intelligent fighter around. Can't see how people can say Froch would beat Calzaghe, I like him but who has he fought to gouge his talent against? Might be a little clearer after tonight.

    I think Hopkins would probably have the best chance, but think Calzaghe would win a close UD if a rematch happened (which it won't).

    I cannot see anyone really. He always seems to come out on top. He catches the judges eyes, which is the important thing in boxing - impress the judges enough and you prevail.

    I think he should retire because there is a serious danger of him losing now, due to a struggle for motivation. But, if he beats Chad Dawson - that is it - screw all the critics with their ignorance - there really would be nothing left to prove.

    At this time, no one. Prime RJJ would KO him though and guys like Benn & Eubank would give him a hell of a time. Id favour a prime Bernard over him though i think he would be favourite over prime Toney.

    I think the only threats to Joe are Hopkins and Dawson and i personally think he beats them both........If he fights Hopkins again i think Joe beats him more decisevly because he knows what to expect...as for Dawson i think he would be competetive for 5 rounds and Joe's workrate and experience takes over big time after the 5th.... Like it or not Joe is good and he has the chin to withstand Dawson...

    BZZZZZT. I'm sorry, but Hopkins got schooled at the hands of the Welshman. But a good try, thanks for playing and we'll see you next time..Rod, show him what consolation prizes he won.....

    there are only two names left. Johnson and Dawson. If he beats Johnson people will say he beat another old man. If he beats Dawson then everybody will pull the Jeff Lacy crap out of the bag again. Joe can't win no matter who he fights.

    For those of you who keep banging on about kessler or Hopkins... Joe would win by a wider margin in either of these rematches. The fights became his, the longer thay went on. He learns and adapts so naturally and his punch resistance improves during the course of a fight strangely.

    I see Pavlik has finally fell off the radar and has been replaced by abraham. Not gonna happen, not ever. It would do nothing for his resume and would be a very one sided affair.

    Carl Froch??? Don't make me laugh. I like Froch and I hope he wins the belt tonight but lets see how he copes when he's not facing average opposition before we talk of this match up.

    You are the quentessential hater. Nunn? McCallum? Toney? You really haven't followed boxing that long in conjuction w/ joe's career. Joe was a novice pro w/ few fights when Nunn, McCallum, and T oney fought at that weight.
    I won't call you a moron. Instead i'll let your own post do it for you.
