    I wanted this fight over Diaconu/Dawson in the first place. Andrade is a bit faded but still a tough test and Dawson needs someone like him to test his heart as Alexander needs Matthysse or Maidana. Dawson/Andrade, make it happen already.

    It seems that Diaconu is in reflection about this fight.

    Even if if he fights and wins, there 's no option for him to face the winner of Pascal-Hopkins, when Dawson have this opportunity.

    It will be the first fight for Andrade at 175.

    Has Andrade ever fought at 175? After the KO by Bute I don't like his chances with beign competitive with Dawson. If not Cloud how about Chris Henry or Shumenov? Still too early for Silac.

    That fraud Diaconu could face Henry again??? It wasn't enough he robbed him in Romania, he needs to rob him again in Canada also?

    I also expect Dawson to win against any of the 2. I think Andrade will force Dawson out of his comfort zone. He'll have to work more.

    I really don't see Andrade being more of a challenge then Johnson, who Dawson won nearly round against in the rematch. At least Johnson doesn't block punches with his face.

    Johnson stops when you hit him. Andrade goes straight forward. In the rematch, Dawson could stay in the pocket and jab. He'll have to move more against Andrade. That's all.

    No way man. Cloud is tough as nails and would not fold no matter what. I actually give him the best shot at 175 to beat Hopkins. I used to say Dawson would be the guy but he also seems mentally weak so im thinking Hops would eventually grind him down.

    Cloud i dont think would fold mentally and he is big and strong.
