I think HBO was pushing the Calzaghe-Taylor fight just because Taylor is an HBO guy and Dawson isn't.
You could tell in the post fight interview that Taylor wanted nothing with Calzaghe. When asked if he wanted Joe next he said the usual, 'I'll fight anyone who my team want me to', and then made a comment about he trusted his promoter. It almost sounded like he needed the reassurance of his team that he could beat Calzgaghe, and that if they got him the fight that would mean they'd believe he'd win.
But Jermain has never done anything in his career to suggest he could beat Calzaghe, and I think Jermain knows it.
He would be mentally beaten before he had even signed the contract, let alone stepped inside the ropes.
