    Joe is an over rated slapping piece of garbage. Dawson would have pounded the wheels off of him and Joe chose to retire rather than face him or any other legit, prime, fighter. Joe's decision to fight over the hill fighters and bums for over ten years is why he draws flack, it has nothing to do with Dawson who's career is still ahead of him.

    Funny how easily JC would have beaten Johnson even though they never fought.................If you are going to tell me Glenn Johnson didn't pose a legit threat, he was a threat to anyone.........then you are just nuthugging.:D

    :rofl:rofl lol @ throws real punches. I wasnt Comparing there style. I was comparing the hate the fans have for there styles. The hate also stems for things that people cant achieve. You and I will never be undefeated in our life in anything. Maybe something worthless. But there undefeated in something thats important many men dream of being undefeated fighters. Unfortunately these people here dream of certain men dethrowing these 2 men which is a bit gay but anywho the hate stems from fans wishing they be as great and achieve at anything besides winning unanimous desions over there meat all day long. People lives suck they want to rain on your parade lol its human nature

    Hate whats greater then yourself

    find your passion haters

    ps Mosley shouldnt have never ran up on mayweather after the jmm fight lol he got his ass kicked by a guy that didnt even want to fight him. Fail

    B-hop well im biased because hes Black, but super ultra ultimate Fail
    ''Ill never loose to a white boy''
    Good **** Slappy
    Good ****

    ps i dont like slappy but hes undefeated and I feel somekinda way bout his 0 because he didnt close the Veil on Dawson but hes respected because hes Undefeated, Lacy,Hops,Roids, what I respect him for Lacy back then seriously could hurt a man

    Mayweather? need I say more? who fights the champ kicks his ass and lets him keep his Belts lol Historical **** right there

    He should have flown over to be robbed? He would have needed to knock out the fighter he was facing, the ref, and three judges to win the fight. Then he needs to fight his way out of the stadium as 10,000 drunks that smell like fried fish try to bite him with their massive cavity filled mouths.




















    I'm joking about the smell and dental problems of course.....

    I don't think any US based fighter should be blamed for dodging the obvious corruption that exists at the top of the game in GB or Germany.

    Mayweather should just right the wbo a check for 120,000 dollars. They will belt him without him needing to fight.

    the difference is simple....dawson is 27....he cant go back and fight a prime tarver..or a prime glen johnson...those guys are decents tests for a young champ and something the networks would approve..not to mention a decisive win over a guy, adamek, who is on quite a roll....

    while calzaghe was no spring chicken himself when he fought 'nard and roy...he waited wayyy too long...and basically waited until he knew he had advantages...and the win over nard was real close...too close for someone who was easily outworking his opponent....

    A bunch of yellow stay at home charlies. I give Lacy credit for coming to the UK for a king size whipping.

    Disagree.

    Both guys are hated but for different reasons.

    Mayweather because he runs his mouth about how great he is, but conveniently managed not to fight alot of the best guys available for quite some time. All while saying he is the best thing ever. That's a recipe for dislike. Does anyone ever doubt his talent or ability? Most think he would have beaten a prime Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, etc despite his seeming reluctance to fight them.

    Calzaghe gets slagged because the perception is that he doesn't have the level of opposition equalling the lofty status many of his fans bestow upon him. The perception is also that he avoided challenges and that if he had stepped up his competition he would have lost. After fighting a few of the biggest names in boxing when they were at an advanced age and varying degrees of decline, he calls himself a legend killer.

    Right or wrong, people tend to dislike fighters/people who strike them as disingenuous.

    PS-Personally, I think the "0" is the most overrated thing in boxing. It actually causes more, and usually better, fights not to get made than it does anything positive. It has become a marketing tool and that's about it.

    Yeah poor Jeff Lacy got robbed when he came the UK. Most US fans had him winning 116-112 :lol::lol::lol:

    Mythbusters....

    Mosley ran from Mayweather till it was the biggest money fight he could make. Margo is nothing but a journeyman that cheated his way to a couple of wins, and Mayweathers resume is much stronger than Cotto's.

    Im not trying to convince you of his resume. The question was why does Dawson get credit for beating Johnson and Tarver with a youth advantage of 14 - 15 years when Calzaghe gets critisied for beating Hopkins the champ and the main man of the division in Calzaghes first fight at a new weight because Hopkins who had beaten Tarver and Dawson and was on a good run was 7 years older than Calzaghe

    Thats the question

    Calzaghe gets held to a higher standard than Dawson since Calzaghe is in the discussion of greatness and Dawson is a young guy making his name.
