Can Chad Dawson beat Joe Calzaghe?

It would be a close fight very risky for Calzaghe it would be good for his legacy if he won a young fighter that is in his prime.IMO Joe would just edge it.His awkardness would be key and he can change strategy in mid round thats why i give him a slight edge.

I think Joe C. would edge it as well. Chad Dawson had trouble with Glen johnson, another awkward fighter, who is not as gifted as Joe C. I think it would be competitive, but another UD for Joe to slap on his belt.

I actually think Glen is much underrated; maybe he’s not as gifted as Joe but he definitively hits harder than him. I remember Chad won clearly the early rounds but after that he was slowed down not just by the pressure that Glen putted on him but by his powerful punches too IMO.
