    calzaghe v pavlik .

    bigger fight , more of a spectacle, more money.

    i do think dawson is a harder fight style for style than pavlik though.

    Calzaghe - Dawson because in my mind calzaghe - pavlik is a foregone conclusion, calzaghe takes him to school boxing

    Calzaghe will get far more out of Dawson. Pavlik - been there, done that.

    To be compared to the really greats there is one thing Calzaghe hasn't done: Meet a champion who is naturally bigger and won. Pavlik would be the opposite - a middle weight. Athough Pavlik may be just as good as Dawson in a p4p sense, the fight doesn't do anything for Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe - Dawson on the other hand would be good. Dawson is still a bit green, but he will in his further carreer collect points for Calzaghe if J beats him.

    On what we've seen from Dawson, especially his last performance, how would you see Calzaghe v. Dawson going, sean?

    Pavlik.

    Assuming he beats BHop, his achievements will be of a higher order than Dawson's.

    Good thread. Very difficult choice, I'd love to see both fights. I think Calzaghe v Pavlik would be more exciting so I want that purely because it would be a better spectacle, but in the end I edge towards Calzaghe v Dawson simply because it will be a clash between the two top light-heavyweights in the world to see who is the king of the division - that's a prize worth winning, whereas a fight with Pavlik is really just a one-off fight with a middleweight jumping more than one division.

    Pavlik, it'll just be funny to be on here when Calzaghe gives him a boxing lesson.

    Calzaghe is the best, but what makes you so sure Dawson is second best, with Hopkins still around, for example?
