For a guy who don't throw nothing but slaps, he sure shuts the oppositions offence down quite well. Tarver didn't have the speed to match dawson and i'm not sure if calzaghe will either, but joe needs this fight to finish off his career. If he beats a prime fighter who other fighters think is future p4p great, then there can be no questions about his opposition. Look how hopkins stock just rose by beating pavlik convincingly.
