    Froch is trash. Joe will thrash him if they meet. Dawson is a much better fighter than Froch.

    I would love to see this fight, tho I no longer have doubts how good Zagy is, but fight and probably win against Dawson would cement his legacy and remove any doubts (if theres still any) that hes one of the best of our generation.

    just suprised dawson aint called out bhop!..anyways dawson aint knocking any 1 out..when was last time he ko some one? as far as money goes ..i reckon joe would want a fair bit more than the jones fight...90/10 purse split for calzaghe if dawson really wants him. besides that would still be more than twice what dawson would normally get.

    dawson would be ok but to pick bhop over kessler for a rematch is insaine!
    kessler vs calzaghe was a great fight and a nr2 would without doubt be
    a true war!
    joe vs bhop was borring and nr 2 would be the same all over!
    .......but ok hes american!

    Which is why I think he will fight Froch.

    at light heavy there is no one to fight other than Dawson and not get called a cherry picker for it.

    Or we could watch him and bernard go at another stinkfest which would make the most sense financially.

    They are selling Dawson out for the live gate.

    It is pathetic. No way the UK judges go against Calzaghe in his last fight, bar a whitewash performance by Dawson.

    That could be a very important part of whether or not this fight gets made. I think if the figure is high enough, Joe will take it. Enzo kind of hinted at this the other day, or something along these lines. He said something like if anyone wants to offer Joe a big deal, they better do it now before Joe walks away.

    dawson has unfinished business with johnson he is not worthy of a final fight with calzaghe
    i say a rematch with hopkins is better
