Calzaghe should prove that he's great

So if he just have one fight and beat Dawson he will be around top 40 ATG ... that's probably not BS

 

Imo Dawson can't beat Cal. As good as Dawson is, I think he is too slow for Cal. He would not be able to hit Cal. The start of the fight he might get the jab in, but Cal is a born southpaw where Dawson is a converted southpaw. Either Hop or Dawson deserve the fight. Cal should fight one more and retire.

 

Agreed with the fight but that top 40 ATG is a little off

 

if you start my trying to tell people who calzaghe is great and i have to repeat myself again...and i'm tired of it.

 

He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone.

He should and I believe he will retire.

 

off high or off low?

 

High:yep

 

... but 10 in this direction or other is just a personal spice.

 

More than 10....more than ****ing 10:hey :yep

 

He should also do the konga while reciting the alphabet backwards on the top of the mgm grand. Then he will be P 4 P numero uno. Sorry i`m just calzaghe thread weary. :nut

 

He`s done it. End of thread.

 

A couple of things I don't agree with:

1) "He got a gift decision against Hopkins by the skin of his teeth and if he feels he can do much better, than why not prove it."

I don't buy the gift decision. Let's put it this way, if Hopkins had got the decision, would you also have considered it a gift? It was a close fight, no doubt. But I don't see any honest problem with the way the judges scored.

2) "he already beat undefeated fighters in Kessler and Lacy but Dawson is a lot better than both..."

Chad is better than Lacy, no doubt (especially after Lacy's aura of invincibility was stripped away by Calzaghe). But Kessler? I'm not so sure. How about Dawson fights Kessler and Cal takes the winner? That would seem a fair test of Dawsons mettle and give Kessler another possible crack at Joe.


Of course, the real problem is that there's always that next up and comer that everyone is so sure will destroy the champ. People say it about Dawson vs Joe, about Bradley vs Hatton, about Marg/Cotto vs Mayweather. There's always that next guy, and a next guy after that. At some point you gotta just let them retire and assess them from there. Nobody can go undefeated forever.

 

Good post.He's remained undefeated since he was 17. My thoughts are that Joe will(and should) retire now. There are no serious big money challenges left. No one wants to see Hopkins again,he stunk the joint out the first time
