Why Chad Dawson is the most dangerous opponent Calzaghe would have faced.

[Fenster]

Robin Reid caught Joe Calzaghe constantly with straight right hands, and Joe Calzaghe couldn't adjust. Not that it matters against Chad Dawson because he is a Southpaw but still.

He wasn't as experienced/smart back then.. and didn't show the same confidence.. and had the broken hand, which couldn't have helped his concentration

What about against Richie Woodhall/Bernard Hopkins ? im not dissing Joe Calzaghe here. But i disagree with Kel's comment that Joe Calzaghe can't be caught with the same shot over and over when he clearly can.

But like i said this is all a moot point anyway because Chad Dawson is a Southpaw, but i would like to see Chad Dawson work Joe Calzaghe's body. Chad Dawson is a good body puncher especially once he gets going with his combinations.

And it would be interesting to see how Joe Calzaghe would cope, because he's never really been tested to the body before.

What about them?

Joe just duffed his mate Richie up - he could deal with the punches no problem. Hopkins threw and landed hardly anything.

For Dawson to have any effect on Calzaghe's body he'll have to be a consistent, hurtful, sustained body puncher. No-one could really get away with that against Calzaghe without getting hit 10-fold back. That's the problem.
