    Yeah, how would Joe beat Dawson by a wide margin? Seems Joe's fans are a little delusional.

    Not sure. I think it's a real live fight - far more so then Pavlik ever was, and I stated that before the Hopkins fight. I don't think Joe has the power to trouble Dawson's perhaps suspect chin, and Dawson's hands are a match in speed for Joe.

    I'd perhaps slightly favour Joe through experience - but I'd certainly not discount Dawson.

    I think if calzaghe is going to fight more and not 40 year olds then fighting a much younger more taller fighter will have strong effect on a ageing calzaghe who will look a bit ancient in the ring and calzaghe will become less mobile and will be hit with more shots and i think dawson may out work calzaghe and Tko him in 9th round

    Let me guess, those of you thinking Calzaghe via "wide" UD have never even seen Dawson fight right? You're from Wales or something?

    I can see the argument for Calzaghe via a competitive decision but "wide"? :lol:

    Dawson's hands are lighting quick.

    I've said this from day 1 that Dawson would beat Calzaghe. With that said Calzaghe would be Dawsons toughest fight from 175 and down. I think Dawson's size,power, speed and combo punching would give him the advantage over Calzaghe if the two ever met.
    BTW Calzaghe-Dawson is the best fight that could be made in boxing right now.

    :lol: Get the f*ck out of here.

    He does pack a good punch. His style isn't to tire out his opponent. And his attack is effective. What are you smoking?

    I have not seen Dawson fight and he does have a very good record - I would like to see him fight Kessler, which would be a very telling fight.

    I think the Dawson - Calzaghe - Kessler round robin would produce nothing but close fights.

    Just talking about this fight makes me want to watch this matchup. Two very talented fighters going at it.
