China chin Chad's next fight

Buddy....you don't know the rules!........DAWSON is over-due to fight his mandatory!.......Adamek...the ex-champion gave Dawson a shot at his belt!.....according to WBC rules if an optional challenger (ex. DAWSON) wins the Title..he has to defend it against the mandatory challenger!.....After the fight with ADAMEK, he asked WBC permission to have an optional defence (with Ruiz in June)...which he was granted!
Diaconu became the mandatory in May in a final elimination fight as called by the WBC.
So now...no more excuses...... DAWSON....stop calling out the old farts Tarver, Jones, Hopkins and live up to your commitment as a WBC Champion: FACE your mandatory ADRIAN "WHITE TYSON" DIACONU!.....once you beat him then you are worth it of a big money fight with the old boys!

 

it's not a gimme that Dawson will beat Tarver...it's likely, but Dawson's chin is vulnerable and Tarver does have power in the left...

 

STFU you don't know what your talking about.

Why doesn't AD actualy fight a top 20 Light Heavyweight first before he gets a shot at the title.

 

Holyfield beats Bates & Saveresse & gets a title shot & I doubt either of those TC's are top 20.

 

Holy definitely doesn't deserve a title shot. It has nothing to do with AD, who probably would make for an entertaining fight, but you guys are forgetting something: Showtime built that Dawson/Ruiz bout on the basis that Dawson would fight Tarver this fall. That's where the network dollars are, and that's the fight Dawson almost has to make.

If Tarver bails -- still a real possibility, as far as I'm concerned -- then you can start talking about Diaconu for that spot.

 

Because Tarver may not be there later. He is older and has more name recognition. If you are looking for recognition, you go for the name fighter. He plans on fighting his mandatory in Diaconu.

Don't try and play that old tired game of "If it's so easy, why not". Let me ask you, what has Diaconu done to put fear into a man who beat Adamek?
