    Nobody at 168 or 175 can beat him.

    Hopkins and Kessler would fair pretty well if both were given rematches. However they were both beaten so that won't happen, the Hopkins fight was close but clear, the Kessler fight comfortable.

    Kessler would do better in a rematch against Calzaghe, I think. Kessler has a better chance of beating him than anyone else from 160-175 right now, I'd say. I'd still pick Calzaghe, though!

    If is there anyone who can beat him it sure as hell it ain't Taylor.He is a MW who is unproven and neverseen at SMW and would have to go to LHW to fight Calzaghe.Imagine the size Joe would have on him,speed,eve power cuz Roy himself said the slaps are harder than they seem.No chance for Taylor.

    i dont know i think chad will definitly land his punches. chad wont stay still for him to hit him. it will come down who can stay at range. dawson just will need to fight his fight and not try to put on a show for the fans. picking a winner i wont do. but i think chad stands a better chance than more gives him. jab i dont know chad loves to throw triple jabs if not more. chad defence is better than givin just cause of johnson everyone wont him off with no defence harding ademek and tarver had a had time connecting. and johnson did have alot of the punches block but cause someone gets hurt they have no defence.grant it i think everyone is right when says he has mental errors. thats why im loving mustafa for his trainer in the tarver fight has was a bug in his ear. he was making sure chad didnt get careless, cahd when ahead gets stuck on cruise control and end up taking a big shot. i think it will be a great fight between the two though. cuase i dont think cal has lost anything just what he says about the sport.if anyone with some age to him cal definitely can give these young guns a problem. hopkins and johnson can still to but for roy and tarver lets hang em up.

    kessler could knock calzaghe out if they fought again. dawson would be a close fight too, his speed and athleticism would give a somewhat faded calzaghe huge problems.

    Why definitely? Just because he's fast and has range? Not many people who land plenty otherwise land on Calzaghe. He's very hard to hit, especially since for every punch you throw, he comes back with a flurry in your face!

    He has always stood to be hit before! That is one of his biggest faults!

    Calzaghe is excellent at controlling distance to suit him. Dawson is far from excellent at it. The fight with Johnson proved it!

    How many fighters get to fight their own fight against Calzaghe? Put on a show? Dawson would do well to not get TKOed!

    Calzaghe has taken away the jab of Kessler, which is excellent! He would take Dawson's jab too!

    Dawson's defence is not great at all! If it were not for his movement range and speed, he'd get hit even more than he does! Unless your defence is excellent, it's a long night against Calzaghe!

    My 2 pennies for you!:good

    In front of them, for significant stretches of rounds and in some cases, for entire rounds.
