Dawson is so poor Woods would probably beat him.

I dont think he was fighting scared at all. He is a boxer first. He has good foot movement and defense - he might as well use it all to his advantage every fight. He has the skills to fight defensivly and should stick with that style. Especially when fighting an older granite chinned vet like johnson.

 

So, what do you now think of a Dawson-Diaconu fight? I'm not sure Dawson would finish the fight on his two feet.

 

Fighting nothing but home town fights is what I was speaking to. Yeah, I think any fighter that does nothing but feast on home cooking is skewing the advantage. Whether it's a Florida fighter that fights only in Florida or a British fighter that fights only in Great Britain.

And Arran's statement about U.S. fighters not traveling to fight overseas is nonsense. Calzaghe's resume is peppered with U.S fighters.

 

Dawson is so poor he cant afford to pay attention

 

I'm leaning towards Hopkins in a close tactical battle.

My biggest concern with Calzaghe is that I think he's done himself no favors by fighting a steady diet of hometown fights. The question of how he handles travel and not hearing thunderous ovations for just landing a jab is a legitimate one.

Frankly I think it's a pick'em fight. I just wish 'Nard was 35 and not 42.

 

You have been DISQUALIFIED. Enough is enough of your constant trolling nonsense.

The troll patrol didn't work, but if veteran posters work together to disqualify blatant trolls/and or idiots, then have a knowledge of who is DQed and who is not, we can clean the place up for appropriate discussion.

A formed criteria is coming soon for disqualification. Posting stupid **** isn't grounds for being DQed, nuthugging is not either, but NOTHING but trolling and an excessive amount of both of these factors is.

 

:rofl

I can't wait for the formal delineation between ignorance, trolling, and nuthugging.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch at all honestly I love glen johnson fights. But with glen johnson, he seems to lose worse on a rematch more than anything so it will prolly not be competitive. chad was not sounding cowardly, he was just feelin that he won the fight and was wondering what the **** glen was talking about how he got robbed and lost the fight. I was actually feeling the same way. Bad Chad will take over that division and beat calzaghe.

 

Before fighting Tarver.. Dawson has to lose against the winner of Henry and Diaconu (Which we all know will be Diaconu). So a fight against Tarver isn't happening anytime soon.

 

I expect Dawson to thoroughly outclass Diaconu. Johnson is a very good pressure fighter with an iron chin not to mention he's been in and beaten the very best. Diaconu is a limited puncher who will freeze up as soon as he steps up in class with the likes of Dawson. Chad's speed combination punching and movement will give The shark fits all night long. The experience of being in the ring with a fighter like Johnson and facing adversity will serve the young Dawson well.
