If Calzaghe beats Dawson he will fight the winner of TARVER/Woods or RJJ. They are better options For JC. Dawson has talent and is up and coming , but beating Adamek by decision doest extrapolate to a victory over JC.
I'm telling you, it's going to be a 7-5 that can 'go either way' type of decision and therefore best suited to a draw because neither really clearly won. That's what I forsee in a Dawson-Calzaghe match up. Several years back, Calzaghe by stoppage would have been my prediction, he was faster and hit harder then and would swarm Chad.
RJJ is still good enough to take this Dawson to school. I think Dawson should fight at his true level which are fighter like Zsolt Erdei and Adrian Diaconu then he can start to target the elite fighters.
Dawson will give the limited Diaconu a boxing lesson of a lifetime. A Dawson win in this matchup is as easy as it gets when predicting fights.
I think you should consider maybe..stepping away from the computer for a few seconds. Just some friendly advice.
It was so stupid, I didn't even bother replying with my normal 'bring down Taylor and Pavlik to a more reasonable outlook' material. That's a lost soul.
I agree ... Dawson is too into his championship status to lose to those smaller guys. He's too big for Taylor and Dawson ... Someone is really under estimating Dawson -- who's faster than Pavlik, a better boxer than the two. I see him winning both fights by UD I don't think any of those guys who had their toughest match ups against each other would be able to handle a guy w/ the combonation of speed, power, and good boxing ability.
His chin isn't a question ... he's being avoided by the top LHW's ... Who's going to test his chin ... definitely not the smaller calzaghe, taylor, or pavlik. He's aiming at a fight w/ Tarver if both get victories in their fights.
