    Calzaghe easily, Dawson is **** all special imo and was going through rounds against Tarver throwing nothing.

    The new demand for this fight is bizarre, cant understand it at all.

    Dawson is the American hope, more so now since Pavlik got owned.

    Calzaghe would have too much, I said it before this fight. People are finally realizing it.

    Listen, Chad Dawson can't deal with that pace. He couldn't deal with Johnson's pace. It's okay looking good for a few rounds when he's sharp, but when Calzaghe puts pressure on like Johnson, with more speed, more angles, even more punches, the southpaw stance, the ring generalship and infighting he will not know what planet he is on. I don't think people realize how strong he is too.

    He will look as confused as Jeff Lacy and Mikkel Kessler in his corner, and many more before them.

    Calzaghe, around 116-112.

    I don't see many names (in the state Joe fought them) on Joes resume better then Chad Dawson - Kessler is about the only one. I think it would be a live fight. I'd make Calzaghe favourite but wouldn't totally discount Dawson. It's a more completive fight then Froch, imo.

    Calzaghe, although the fact that he's been dropped in his last 2 fights means he should retire now while he's still at the top.

    Bad Chad has been anointed the Chosen One. The Messiah.....until Joe beats him.

    I think people are seriously underrating this kid...I do consider him the greatest thread to JC by quite a distance.

    Thats probably true but its also a case of "In the land of blind, the one eyed man is king".

    I wanna see it, I'd pick Calzaghe in a close fight. I want to see Joe do himself justice then he could retire with peace of mind in knowing he beat everybody there was worth beating at this moment and 2 weight undisputed champion, not that it matters too much. I agree there really might not be enough to tempt Joe with this fight though or that it's even worth it.
