    risk-reward factor comes into play.i think it's too dangerous for dawson along with the calzaghe fight

    I doubt BHOP steps in the ring with him. Chad is more dangerous that Joe and JT.

    Im begining to understand why when people give Calzaghe stick they usually say, it's not really him but his fans.

    I had no ill feeling towards Chad, but posts like this, Hyping him as something he isnt even remotely at yet makes me want to choke the *****.

    And the best of it is it will be the same people that turn their back on Dawson when he losses and move on to the next big thing.

    No he should fight his mandatory challenger!

    dawson should stay away from hopkins and calzaghe. roy jones and a tarver rematch would be good choices. a kessler fight down the line would be huge as well.

    If he wants to get beat, then yes.

    Absolutely Yes. All the fans that say taht he should stay away from B-Hop and JC deserve to be stuck watching bum-of-the month title defences that are hurting boxing.

    What I want to see is 50/50 fights where both fighters are putting on their records on the line. Dawson is willing to do it, thats why I like him.

    I cannot see why Joe got slammed for facing a 43 year old legend, at the age of 37 himself, yet Dawson is not accused of fighting has beens when he is 26...God, if Joe did that, at 26, he'd be crusified:-(

    Will be a good fight though I would rather see him fight Calzaghe.

    Who do you want Dawson to fight next? He is calling out the division top 2 fighters

    I don't think there's too much risk at all. Chad Dawson would convincingly beat Bernard Hopkins.
