    Why are people screaming for Pavlik V Calzaghe, and not Dawson V Calzaghe - which is most probably a much harder fight for Joe?

    Due to hype. Dawson is for some odd reason not hyped up. And yes, it will be a much harder fight.

    Dawson is a slicker boxer (which is more troublesome to Joe), and a natural light heavy - not a middle like kelly.

    Dawson is an overhyped media creation. He's already been exposed IMO by Johnson but Tarvers gonna stop him.

    dawson is OVERHYPED trust me
    and it would be a bigger event plus, more entertaining (joe v pavlik)
    and yes the road warrior got cheated out of the title which is a real shame and it is the reason i dislike chad dawson because the least he could of done was give the old man a rematch

    Cuz he didn't spend months calling Dawson out would be my guess. People here want Joe to backup his mouth or shut up. He does neither.

    1- Cause Dawson struggled to get past Glen Johnson
    2- Cause Pavlik is a knockout artist
    3- Cause Dawson doesn't like to slug it out
    4- Cause Calzaghe beat Hopkins, Taylor beat Hopkins, Pavlik beat Taylor, Pavlik is fighting Hopkins. That makes for interest.

    A lot of people are probably nervous because Glenn Johnson (who gives everyone a tough fight) took Dawson to the limit a while ago.

    After he puts on a masterclass against Milk Dud, they'll come flocking back onto the bandwagon.

    Certainly is but not enough to downsize what will be a tremendous performance by Bad Chad.

    Yes, I can see that from the number of Dawson threads. Good point.
