    LoL. Exactly
     

  2. Don't mean to deflate your Calzaghe doll but he's just not a combination of great athleticism and boxing talent. He's never been top 10 P4P. Are you such a lousy athlete yourself that you are that impressed with what you see in Joe? LMFAO.

    I don't think he's quite there yet the win against Adamek looks a good one and Tarver is a good name for the cv. Don't really see the point of a rematch. If anything it would have made more sense to rematch Johnson as I thought he was lucky to get the win last time. The only big fight out there for him is a fight with Hopkins but I doubt it will happen. All he can do now is look to unify the titles and wait for the next big name to come along. Maybe Mikkel Kessler in a year or so.

    Nope, is not proven to be anything more than hype yet, has feasted off old men and never wases. Only real good win was over Adamek which is not enough to hit the p4p lists. Nearly got beat by a 12-loss journeyman in his last but one fight!

    Its tough to say at the moment. hes a very good fighter but i had glen johnson beating him in that fight so i honestly think that he was robbed a little bit but to be honest that fight was so close u couldnt fit a peanut between them. one round dawson was winning and next johnson so it could have gone either way unlike the hopkins calzaghe fight which calzaghe won by 116-112 so how is that close? anyways dawson needs to fight bhop before he can be considered as a top ten fighter as calzaghe has retired he cant fight him and take on clinton woods or at least try to unify the division. but yeah hes a very exciting fighter but not top 10 p4p just yet.

    You're way off with this post. How exactly is a undefeated two time champion not proven? Adamek is not his only good win. Tarver, Johnson, and Harding were very good wins is well. Speaking of Johnson, he's not journeyman. The guy is a top 5 LHW who's beaten several good fighters and who has given pretty much everyone he's fought a tough fight.

    Borderline.

    The bad thing for Chad is that there is no one out there at LHW besides Hopkins to catapult him higher. He won't fight Johnson. Who else is there? He already beat Tarver and will do so again. Beating any other LHW really won't do much.

    Question is, if he fought Hopkins and beat him, where would he then be ranked?

    Of course. It's criminal that he's not on the list. He's the man at 175 now that Calzaghe retired.
