will be started in the general forum stating. calzaghe will be starched easily by(insert name of american fighter)if he ever grows balls and leaves wales. in the next week?
Yeah i occasionally visit for some fun, but hate the general forum usually. :deal Hell i even started a thread there stating "Kesslers 2 good looking 4 boxing........got 19 responses.
Some of the yanks are extremely arrogant about this sort of stuff. Not all of them of course, but there is a large contingent in the General forum who cannot give credit to non-American boxers. Calzaghe did the business today, **** what any whining seppo thinks.
I love it that the country that produces the most world champions struggles to produce 1 decent poster with genuine knowledge of boxers outside of the u.s.. I aint in any hurry to go crashing planes but **** im really starting to dislike the yanks..
I assume they gave up of left hook prety quick did they or would he have beat joe in the US:yep :yep :yep :yep :yep :yep :yep
Chad Dawson will beat Calzaghe, and do it reasonably convincingly. Just remember where you heard it first. Many are over rating him right now, as the greatest SMW ever. Prime Roy >>>>>>Prime Calzaghe. Not even close. Dawson is the most talented fighter in boxing right now. All he needs is a chance to prove it.
I agree that a prime Roy would beat Calzaghe, but Dawson would find it awfully tough against Calzaghe, and I rate Dawson a lot. Dawson has the tools, no doubt, but lacks the mentality to get the job done. Similar to Judah in that trait, but not quite as weak as him. Calzaghe's pressure would be too much for Dawson. He simply wouldn't be able to cope with the onslaughts. Calzaghe TKO 8.
Strangely enough i get that Judah feelng about Dawson too. Might be that he is a quite chinny IMO. Still tho Dawson shows some great skills & technique. Someone all the top Light Heavyweights try & avoid.
He has great skills and technique, but he'll need more than that against Calzaghe I feel. The last few rounds in the Adamek fight when he got KD is something telling. One might say he was playing it defensively because he was so far ahead on points, but imo, his attack is his best defence.
What on earth gives you the feeling he doesn't have the mentality? So far at the top he has been dominant in every single victory. Harding is under rated IMO, and has victories over guys like Tarver and gave Jones some bother, yet Dawson schooled him. Adamek was a warrior and considered by most to be the top light heavy, yet Dawson thoroughly beat him. And his last two defences have been two dominant knockout victories. He has only been down once in recent times, and it was a FLASH knockdown vs a very large light heavyweight, and a decent puncher in Adamek. His biggest performances have been his best. The only thing remotely similar to Zab Judah is that he is a black southpaw. Care to elaborate further?
He was operating under corner advice. I don't personally agree with it, but then the last thing you need is another Taylor v Whitaker on your hands.
he went into his shell a bit after being KD by Adamek. Yes, he could afford to because he was so far ahead, but it made him look more vulnerable than he was when he was on the attack. I just think that if Calzaghe were to get the better of him at some stage, and imo he would, he wouldn't have it in him to rise to the occasion.
