Dawson proves hes a nancy boy coward runner

He defended the WBC belt 3 times but look at the quality of opponent he defended it against.
Maybe he would have fought Diaconu first time round but by the time it was put to him again he seemed to be making his living fighting C level opponents and washed up B level ones.
This whole thread within the thread started by posters saying Dawson can't give up his belts so he has to take the re-match with Tarver, I'm saying why not get his old belt back, if that's not possible fight for one of the others, if winning belts is what he's about, he doesn't have to fight Tarver to get a belt. If this was Calzaghe people would say he's avoiding the 'live' opponent to fight a shot former champ.

 

Even if he wanted to, he can't. Diaconu has a fight with Branco, and he had a mando due against Johnson. Furthermore, I doubt HBO would approve the fight. Another thing you have to consider, you don't know what the penalty would be if Dawson breeched the contract and decided not to honor the rematch clause. There could be monetary penalties that we don't know about.

 

I'm pretty sure Calzaghe has already stated on numerous occasions that he has no interest in fighting Dawson.

 

idiot tarver had a rematch clause in the contract he has no choice its totally up to tarver.

 

My mistake, I did change it to or one of the other belts, Garay has no-one scheduled, Eredei is lineal champ is he not (according to some posters on here the other day,) it's like the prophet was saying there are other fights for Chad than Tarver, who he just beat convincingly.
Saying there could be monetary penalties, fair enough, but it's different from saying he can't give up his belts.
I don't live in America, I'm from the UK, so don't really know the way things work with the American fans, but surely HBO could promote a fight with Chad and Eredei or Garay.

Can Chad get his third belt at 26? all that bull****, surely to **** they could promote a fight between a popular fighter and a world title belt holder.

 

Again, you don't know what was written in that contract. You don't know the penalty if Chad were to breech that contract. He's getting a two fight deal from HBO. This quote from Shaw helps to explain the thought process a little;

"In discussing the options with Chad, we wanted to get this out of the way so if an opportunity came up to fight Bernard Hopkins or Joe Calzaghe, or somebody like that, we wouldn't have this fight with Tarver staring us in the face. So Chad said, 'You know what? Let me fight Tarver and get it over with. Let me knock him out this time and then I will have those options in front of me."

 

Right now HBO won't even approve a fight between Taylor and Froch.

 

So there is only really 2 possible opponents for Chad that would keep HBO happy?
I'm not saying I don't beleive you, just that it's pretty ****ed up. Would someone like Garay not bring in more latino fans, or could they not sell on part of the broadcast rights to European networks if he fought a Euro?
It's all global marketing these days HBO gets seen everywhere, they must be able to get foreign TV audiences with foreign fighters. Few people outside America really care about Tarver.

 

we have dinamita shitting on calzaghe
english titan putting him on a pedastal in thread after thread they create.

without reading this thread , it does not take sherlock to have a guess how it has gone.

as to dawson taking on tarver so what , malinaggi had to have one with ndou, **** happens.

if you dont like it, dont watch.

 

:goodSpot on.

What was his excuse for giving Mendoza a shot at his WBC title?

He hasn't fought a 'live' opponent since Adamek, who was struggling to make the weight. He's been cherry picking ever since and is trying to make himself look good calling out Calzaghe when he knows the fight won't happen.

 

Johnson and Tarver were both live opponents.

 

HBO is an America based company. Their ratings are heavily determined by the American people. America is the 3rd largest country in terms of population. With that said, why do they need people outside of America to be interested in Tarver?
