    After what i saw last night and from previous fights Chads not ready for someone like Joe his pace and workrate would be way to much for Chad to handle and Joes faster( sorry guys its true)

    Calzaghe by a WIDE UD.

    I would say Chad would take the first couple of rounds untill Calzaghe's reknowned chameleon-esque adaptability adjusts to Dawsons style/speed/size.

    Calzaghe showed us in the Kessler and Lacy fights that he is the master of timing and with his own very good handspeed and Dawson's sometimes lax defence with regards to being hit with the counter; I think this would be a good mesh for Calzaghe.

    I really dont think Chad has the intelligence or adaptability to cope with someone with a multi-faceted approach such as Calzaghe.

    I'll have to pick Calzaghe by decision. Dawson just waits too much in there and you CAN'T do that with Calzaghe, if you wait he'll eat you alive with nonstop activity, Calzaghe throws over 1,000 punches a fight and his activity will make him take rounds away from Dawson. Chad will have his moments in the fight but Calzaghe takes this for me.

    We didn't see Dawson's true potential last night. He was fighting a rematch with a game, but overmatched opponent. Another Tarver fight wasn't going to bring out the best in Chad.

    However, getting a fight with the best light heavyweight in the world (Calzaghe), you'd see what Chad can truly do.

    I'd say it'd be a super fight, but Dawson is too strong and young for Super Joe. Plus, those pitty pats wouldnt hurt a young, yet seasoned pro like Chad.

    I'm a big Calzaghe fan, but I agree. At least at 175.

    Dawson puts one bad performance vs Tarver in a rematch and everyone jumps all over him.

    I still think dawson size and stregth /speed would give Joes fits ...+ hes a southpaw. When was last time Joe fought a southpaw? + an elite fighter in his prime.....

    i give u the answer...Never!

    Joe has had plenty of shitty performances. Yesterday was a lose lose situation for Dawson, he really didnt want to fight Tarver again
