    I still can't believe people found 7 rounds to score for Johnson in that fight.

    I know I am a Dawson fan, but when I score the fights of my favorite fighters, I look for every reason to NOT give them a round, that way I am working on a worst case scenario.

    Johnson won 6 rounds at the most vs Dawson and it was more like 5.

    True Johnson won 6 rounds at most IMO too,and I don't particulary like Dawson altough he is growing on me.

    If thats what Chad Dawson said, then he is a classy guy.

    If Bernard has similar comments on Calzaghe's retirement that I will die of shock.

    I had Dawson beating Johnson clearly also but I still think it would make a good rematch

    7-5 or 8-4 ain't clear by any means.

    Not very much, I reckon.

    Also, Dawson needs to rematch Johnson very soon.

    Agree with both. I don't particluarly care for Dawson - definately didn't at the time, picked against him, and still had him winning. I understand it's popular to say that Johnson won that fight, but my card never found that conclusion. Dawson won.

    Hopkins and Jones are older than Johnson and Tarver, and Adamek is WAYYYY better than the third best win on Calzaghe's resume.

    You know, with Calzaghe's retirement, that will narrow down Hopkin's next possible opponent. While i doubt it will happen, it does make a Hopkins/Dawson fight for The Ring LHW belt more of a possibility.

    Be sure after he beats(good chances he stops) Tarver in march Max or Larry will try to push a Hopkins fight on Chad.

    If Chad wants to be "king", he will have to fight and beat Hopkins. I know Chad is willing to fight Hopkins. It will be up to Hopkins to fight Chad and i don't know if he will. But there will be pressure on Hopkins to fight Chad to settle once and for all who is the best at LHW.
