Calzaghe. Dawson's skills dropped significantly when he left Floyd Sr. The fact that he was calling out Calzaghe just proves how clueless and idiotic he is. Sad a guy with so much talent, but was too much of a mental midget.
Slappy Joe ran scared from Bad Chad Dawson, he decided to fight a 334324432342342 year old shot to **** Roy Jones Jr instead. We saw what Dawson did to Slappy Joe's best opponent. He beat that boy so bad that he broke his hip and made him quit. After that, he made him look like a bigger fool in the rematch winning a clear cut decision, something Slappy Joe couldn't do. The only man who could tame this beast was Irish Andy Ward. And Slappy Joe is no Ward. :deal
Well we saw what a green timid Ward did to Slappy Joe's best opponent in Kessler. Then we saw what a more seasoned Ward did to Chaddy, aka Hopkins daddy, aka Slappy Joe's second best win(if you can call it that) Based on these facts, I see Ward walking Slappy Joe down and knocking him out, just like he did Dawson. If the fight were to happen in the UK however, I can see Slappy hitting Ward with a couple of slaps on his arms and the ref stopping the fight. It's happened before....... Many times.
Dawson clearly has a better resume than slappy Joe, not to mention holding a more dominant win over Hopkins..
Not fair to judge Dawson on his last few performance. I couldn't see anybody beating him when he was operating at his peak. I think Dawson would take this.
Joe was an old man when the fought Hopkins and Jones. Dawson was in his 20's when he was fighting 40 plus men.
joe chose to fight them, by deslecting those mandos he was required to fight as champion. dawson had no problem facing who he had to face. massive difference.
Chad sure as hell had no problem fighting old men. He wasn't just happy with fighting them once, he even gave them rematches.
