Is Chad Dawson the Real Joe Calzaghe?

this is a legit question...lol...ill agree with the poster that said this a lil while back(cant remember his name)....dawsons resume 18 months into his "reign" at age 26 is as impressive as joes 9 years into his....lol....lacy is/was a bum....pretty sure jermain will end him....kessler....he looks the part....young, built, technically sound, and decent power....but its pretty obvious this guy lacks the heart and desire to be a real champ....lol...hausler...and his own promoter intentionally losing the bid cause he knew it was a farce

 

myth 1 billy k has been thinking too much.
myth 2 billy k needs to get a girlfriend.
myth 3 billy k get a ****ing life.

tarver=biggest payday of chads career....he has quite a few financial backers and a name on the resume....beaten both of the roy conquerers....good way to help pay them back....if joe doenst fight him...where else does he go...hell have to choice but to fight diaconu

 

Im a calzaghe fan and im sick of these bull**** threads. either it be pro or anti calzaghe.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl, 100% treva1977 OWNED

 

I'd rather watch HBO "mandated" fights then an alphabet belt mandated fight any day of the week.

 

Who? Diaconu, Ruiz & Mendoza? Who are these guys you speak of?

 

Yep.

The next fight Adamek fought -- only 4 months after he fought Dawson -- Tomasz weighed 23.75 lbs more. That's right,

Adamek vs Dawson: 174 lbs
Adamek vs Pineda : 197 3/4 lbs

And Adamek wasn't fat in the Pineda fight. And, he mysteriously got his power back, KO'ing Pineda in 7 rounds. Oddly enough, he was more active than he was 24 pounds lighter 4 months earlier. That is, the extra weight helped him. This wasn't some James Toney buffet special. See for yourself:

Yet, he still dropped Chad in his weakened state.

Anyone who thinks you're adding 24 pounds of muscle in 4 months doesn't understand training or thinks Adamek is doing 'roids. The much more plausible explanation? Adamek killed himself to make weight for the Dawson fight, and it nixed any chance he had to win or at least perform at his best.

This is a point I have tried, repeatedly, to make to the Roy Jones and Chad Dawson nuthuggers. If you listen to the Roy Boyz, Jones essentially died and was resurrected feebly from cutting a mere 18 pounds (after not having fought for 10 months, no less) to fight Tarver the first time. Planets were shattered; Roy's transcendant greatness forever removed because of this weight drop.

How much weight do you think Adamek kept off for the Dawson fight? How badly was he starving himself to show up nearly 25 pounds heavier the next time he fought, just 16 or so weeks later? Why didn't he suck against Pineda like Roy did after Roy cut 18 pounds with 10 months to do it when Tomasz may have been keeping around 25 pounds off of himself?

Yet, he still dropped Chad.

Dawson's other great wins were against guys in the last fight of their careers (Harding), guys who were more shot than the deer who your neighbor just got done dressing (Tarver) and a 39 year old who many feel Chad lost to (Johnson). In other words, the insanely weight-drained guy and three over-the-hill-gangers. There is no Calzaghe's Kessler in here, in other words. That is, a guy in his prime who is fighting at a weight his body is comfortable making (Kessler didn't show up in his next fight post-Calzaghe at 191.75 lbs, to help make the point)

I should also mention Harding also dropped Dawson.

Don't believe the super-hype about Dawson. He's still the guy that ran like a chump from Diaconu rather than keep his WBC belt and he's still taking large portions of rounds off, holding his right hand low and brandishing a glass jaw as we speak.
