All you guys saying Chad is fighting Tarver, unifying the division beating Woods... etc. Don't really follow boxing right? Don King is currently in negociations with the WBC to have Dawson fight ONE fight before his mandatory defense against Diaconu BUT, the WBC doesn't want to hear any of it. Lets say Don King pays enough money for them to change their minds and let him fight Tarver, the next in line is his MANDATORY = Diaconu. After that, it all ends there. Diaconu is going to close the lights on chicken Chad. I have to give Chad one thing though, I would also run like hell knowing Diaconu is my mandatory. I hope he cashes out with Tarver.:rofl
Pimp C, he's ducking so maybe more like a duck then a chicken. I think his promoters (Shaw and King) are doing the right thing to prevent a match against Diaconu from happening because Chad isn't beating him. They know what Diaconu can offer and will do to their Super Star. And yes, he is underrated here. Not for long though. When you all see him fight, you'll know he'S no bum. You'll also enjoy his agressiveness. I have nothing against Chad, I just think Diaconu will beat him. End of story.:hi:
Don't worry Adamek is getting another shot against Steve C. Chad's a bad dude man, sure his chin is questionable but when you box your gonna be hit some people get floored and others do a chicken dance its how you recover, react and finish the fight that shows your true colors. I gues SRR, Ali, Joe Louis all had China chins too.
It's not called running when you plan on fighting the guy anyways and are just trying to make some good money in between. Diaconu hasn't beaten anybody to scare Dawson. He is a good come forward fighter, but Dawson isn't ducking him.
Exactly! Diaconu will get his chance, most fighters with good potential always do. Dianconu fans need to be patient and his time to show and prove will come.
The post as a whole isn't horrible, but his statement that Chad's a chicken was out of line. King just wants to makes some more $$$ off Dawson before its mandatory time. If he can squeeze in one more money maker before Diaconu dethrons him, then that is what King has in mind.
I love it when fans of one fighter accuse a potential opponent of ducking when he's pursuing a bigger-money fight. That tells you right off the person isn't seeing things objectively. Dawson still has no name at all with casual fans, and beating Tarver is better for him in both the short- and long-term. If AD is as good as you guys insist, he'll get his shot.
Too bad Adamek lost. He was actually trying to make some progress in the division by taking on solid opposition in every fight. If only Adamek defended against guys like Ruiz he would still be Champ.
Dawson has time until he needs to face his mandatory. What fighter in his right mind fights the mandatory first when you have a big money fight lined up, and you're still going to be able to fight the mandatory after the big money fight? That's not ducking, that's just not being an idiot. If Diaconu is so great and so confident, then why doesn't he fight someone for some extra cash while he's waiting for Dawson as well instead of bitching about needing to wait longer during the mandatory period? It's not like having Dawson/Tarver will make the period any longer before he has to fight the winner, PLUS if Tarver wins, then Diaconu gets a bigger money fight against a guy who's a better style matchup for him anyway.
But he's not he got beat by Dawson. And Thomas Ulrich is solid opposition????atsch Adamek will fight Tarver and destroy him then he will fight Diacau destroy him and then everyone will say he was an overrated bum who only beat a bum in Rico Hoye.
No he wouldn't. Fighting guys like Ruiz could turn you from Champ to Chump real quick! Just a little joke. Chad's no chump. But he will be an ex-champ after Diaconu, though.
