If Joe looks good beating up Bhops, and Dawson beats up Johnson and Diaconu...

...Joe HAS to fight Dawson. :deal

If Joe still has the kind of speed and stamina he had against Mikkel, and Dawson proves his credentials and chin against Johnson and Diaconu, if Joe wants to fight another fight in the USA and doesn't want a fare-well party against Woods, he has to fight Dawson.

He needs to forget about the "0" and about risk/reward and about money and about resume trophee wins against stuffed have-been NAMES and go out on a bang against Chad Dawson - a fighter who under this scenario will have proved his elite skills, tactical adaptability to all kinds of style, including pressure, and a very good chin.

This would be the legacy fight for Joe, and the fight that hard-core fans will really want in exchange for their loyalty to Joe through all those lean years when detractors were having a field day, pointing at Joe's sometimes less than stellar opposition. This is the fight to say to the long-term supporters: "Thank you for believing I'm a great Champion from the beginning and throughout the lean years!"

I'm glad you all agree!

 

I don't think he wants Taylor. He wants Pavlik to beat him again because then, it's certain that Taylor, the man who ducked Calzaghe in the past, wasn't that great in the first place.

Personally, I think if Palik wants it, Joe will take Pavlik and retire, without fighting Dawson. That would be OK...but I wouldn't be sarisfied, personally. On the other hand, I would be fully satisfied if he fights Dawson, after Bhops, and retires.

 

If Dawson and crew don't want it...people will think he's wet. And they'd be right, too!

Dawson would be experienced enough to have a good shot at a 36 year-old Calzaghe.

 

Yeah...I agree that is quite likely!

That would be disgusting, as long as Joe still has speed and stamina against Hopkins...:-(

 

Dawson has to defend his WBC belt agains the winner of Diaconu v. Henry or Branco by the end of July, at the latest, f he wants to keep the WBC belt. He is fighting Johnson on the 12th of April. Would he have time to fit in Woods in the meantime? :think

 

Let's hope Diaconu doesn't hear about that ****! I don't think he takes kindly to that kind of ***** nonsense...

Would you say Diaconu was a skinhead, Amsterdam?
