Chad Dawson vs Joe Calzaghe

Dawson is average, Joe would outbox

Dawson is way above average. I have no idea who would win between he and Calzaghe, I'm leaning towards Calzaghe, but I'm far from certain.

I don't think he needs to fight Dawson, but it would be nice if he would do it. People who are big Calzaghe love to point out that during the reign when he didn't fight anybody decent, there wasn't anybody decent to fight. Maybe that's true. Well, there are plenty good fights out there for him now. I think he's proven that he's still got plenty of gas left in the tank, and it would be nice to see him make another fight against one of the young guns.

Dawson is better than Kessler, better than Lacy, and better than old Roy. Dawson would be one of the biggest challenges of his career. He's just come into his prime. He's been tested against top competition, but he's never fought anybody on Joe's level. As a boxing fan, it's just a great matchup to think about. I give Dawson a legit shot. I won't say that Calzaghe is ducking him if he doesn't fight him. Calzaghe doesn't have to prove anything, but I would like to see him take a real chance and make a great fight. If Joe lost, I wouldn't think any less of him, but if he wins, I would rate him even higher, and I rate him pretty damn high already.

I gave him credit for fighting and beating Kessler a young unbeaten world champ and i would give it him again for beating Chad Dawson a young unbeaten Light heavyweight world champ. See Joe is the man but he isn't world champ so in theory he isn't a 2 weight world champ he is 2 weight Ring belt champion i regard the Ring belt high but it int a world title for the history books as such.

Nor is Hopkins then.

So they need to beat a WBO, WBC, WBA or IBF holder to be a legit two weight champ?

Silly Bernard and silly Joe. Fancy targeting and beating the no.1 recognised non alphabet holding lightheavy champion

Just out of interest seeing as your a true statto as to who has the belts and the lineage, why wasn't the Hopkins Tarver fight a non title affair?

Did Tarver refuse to put his belt on the line against Hopkins or did he relinquish it to play Mason Dixon?

I don't think Tarver had an alphabet since the Johnson fight. They BOTH gave their belts back to fight eachother... instead of the no.1 contenders to their belts.

I never said Joe weren't number 1 just not a genuine world champ so in the history books he would only be world champ at Super middleweight in your own word FACT.

Genuine? Genuine what? Alpahbet champ? Behave

What history books? The Ring champ is recognised, no?

If history doesn't recognise Calzaghe they wont Hopkins either. So even though EVERY boxing fan on earth recognises both as two weight champs, history books will say otherwise. That will be fun
