people starting to leanr belts are only as good as the champion... + he has the only belt that matters, The ring
I fI was Dawson I'd want the other champions at 175 especially the winner of Hopkins Wright and Antonio Tarver. Surely a fight with Roy Jones Jr would be both easier to arrange and make more sense for Chad Dawson.

I don't see what he gains moving down for a career defining fight when he's only just started his career proper.

Go after Hopkins who surely won't be around for much longer, and Jones Jr. Dawson is American after all and those two names will mean a whole lot more to the American audience than Calzaghe.
