Joe calzaghe chad dawson light heavyweight fight???

Question

I WANNA SEE IT HAPPEN...WILL IT HAPPEN????? there both undefeated! Calzaghe ranked #1 Dawson ranked #2........

Answer 1

good question i hope to be honest that this fight never happens as im a die hard calzaghe fan and i think he is to old to beat somebody of chad dawsons calibre (although it would be an awsome fight) having said that dawson should fight tarva that would also be a good fight. p.s well done america you have yet again produced a class fighter in chad dawson what is it with you americans and your light heavyweights lol

Answer 2

this would be a good one, dawson isn't a puncher and we don't know what calzaghe's power is like at l / heavy......but i doubt it will happen as joe said he will retire in november after the jones jr fight, but if he fights on then tarver could be next. but then how many boxers keep their promise to retire?

who knows what the future will bring?

Answer 3

I would also very much like to see it- two fast, undefeated southpaws who always come to big fights prepared.  Dawson has not had that "mega fight" yet and he deserves one, but unfortunately, I doubt that this fight will happen for a few reasons:

Joe Calzaghe already has a pay-per view date with Roy Jones, Jr. on November 15th.  It is not a done deal yet, but it is highly likely that the fight will get made.

Chad Dawson will most likely either face his mandatory challenger, Adrian Diaconu or he will fight Antonio Tarver in the fall.

Chad Dawson is a much more dangerous opponent for Calzaghe than Jones is, and he brings WAY less money to the table than Roy does (even if Jones is long removed from his best days).

It would be a good match between the true champion of the division (Calzaghe) and arguably best titleholder in the division (Dawson), but it will not happen anytime soon.  Perhaps, if Calzaghe beats Jones, then the match will happen, but even then, I doubt it because more people have been clamoring for Calzaghe to fight middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik.
