    As said by kevin lole over at yahoo.. which is true because if you look at the facts, tarver has clearly been ducking dawson.. ever after tarver got a beatdown against hopkins and claiming he was drugged, he has been fighting nobodies.. hes trying to play it safe.. he has foughten many times on the same card as dawson and said he would even fight him, but hasnt.. but i can see why tarver would stay away from this fight, because he would get ktfo..

    why would anyone wanna fight Tarver in the first place. The guy is shot. Dawson shouldn't even think of Tarver. Woods will confirm this on Saturday

    If I'm wrong then you can laugh at me for my bad pick and for losing 300$

    Yea Diaconu has chased Dawson all over the place first fighting an eliminator and now fighting for an interim title which is like another eliminator. Diaconu wants the Dawson fight bad no doubt

    I see this fight going one of two ways. Either Johnson will get Dawson early or he will get hammered and totally outclassed. Dawson is tooo fast, for Johnson to win a dec.

    Tarver will never fight Dawson. Highly doubtfull Hops, Joe C or R Jones would either. He'll look for some easier way to make money.

    Oh I believe Woods will defeat Tarver as well.. Dawson isnt really worried about Tarver, just the title.. as said by dawson in an interview.. “In Tarver’s last two fights, he has shown nothing,” Dawson said. “He’s like a dead fighter to me. Clinton Woods is not going to back up and he’s not going to back down. Like I said, Tarver looks like a dead man to me.”

    yea i'm pretty sure you mean when he had the fight delayed due to an injury and Dawson then asked for Diaconu's mandatory status to be removed but was denied by Suleiman after Diaconu's team insisted they wanted to fight Dawson.

    yea i do recall that as well

    Yes, but Dawson only did this because he was stuck between waiting for Diaconu to get better and missing a lucrative match. It had nothing to do with ducking Diaconu, otherwise he would never have signed in the first place.

    The compromise they came to was a good one.

    To be honest most fighters 175 and down are ducking Dawson. He's a stylistic nightmare for most a tall big southpaw with good speed, footwork, defense and movement and he throws accurate punches.

    Most of these guys dont let facts get in the way of thier story.

    Yeah Dawson ducked this guy by signing to fight him, then watching him pull out.

    i never said Dawson was ducking Diaconu nor implied it. Simply making the case that Diaconu is actively chasing Dawson.

    you're the one who doesn't let facts get in the way of your story as you're claiming Diaconu is ducking Dawson while the facts show otherwise. Do you not see this?

    I've never claimed that Dawson is ducking Diaconu and have actually said that he is not.
