    Just read on fightnews.com that along with hatton/mayweather and
    Cotto/Mosely being practically done deals. Tarver/Dawson is being arranged as well. If that's the case then. Looks like Tarver will be out of the mix!

    Tarver should avoid Dawson.

    Why would Tarver be out of the mix when he's fighting a fellow top 5 lt heavy?

    This is a 50/50 fight and I'm as big a Chad Dawson fan as there is, since 2000.

    If this was Tarver 2002-2004....different fighter. His workrate is low now and his reflexes are not what they were. He doesn't seem to want it as much as he once did.

    As always, good point my good man.
    The fact that Tarver's reflexes have declined dramatically over the last 2 yrs. is very important.
    The same goes for his workrate.
    Chad is confident and very smooth.

    Dawson wins 8-4 or 9-3.

    young Bad Chad is too fast and too good for Tarver.

    I don't think it's a 50/50 fight my friend. This version of tarver may not even finish w/ dawson. So, hence him being out of the mix after the fight. Not before. And yes, kingdan I know your chads biggest fan on this board.

    he needs to take that risk at this point...Hopkins beat him up, and who else is there for him? Dawson is younger and better, but his chin is definitely his weak point and Tarver still has power...
