What do you fellers think of Chad "Bad" Dawson?

wait a minute, wasnt it Diaconu who had the hand injury delaying their fight? Please someone correct me if I am wrong

 

Decebal refuses to explain himself.

Chad agreed and signed on to fight Diaconu.

End of discussion.

 

yeah see I thought something was up with that fight. I knew Chad was down but Diaconu was the one ducking.

 

Please read this:

It explains in detail why and how Dawson has ducked Diaconu.:good

 

Mate...Dawson signed to fight Diaconu because he couldn't get Tarver and because the WBC were putting the pressure on him! Had Tarver said YES, Dawson would have done what he did with Johnson - completely ignored what the WBC demanded - that he fight his mandatory Diaconu - and fought Tarver instead.

But Tarver told him to **** off! So...what was he to do...he signed to fight Diaconu. Then, after Mendoza, when Diaconu came back and was reinstated as mandatory, Dawson tried to argue that he had already fough his mandatory in Mendoza; he should never be forced to fight Diaconu again. Why? Because he had other plans. So the WBC told him to get on with it - to fight Diaconu - the mandatory. Dawson ignored the ruling and signed up to fight Johnson. The WBC tried a second time = OK, we'll let you fight Johnson first, but you need to fight Diaconu by the 15th of March! Dawson again ignored their ruling and decided to fight Johnson in April!!! The WBC, ignored twice now, put its foot down and threatened to strip him. So he flew to Mexico to spend two whole days outside the WBC President's house, begging him to let him in so that he could have a word. He started crying saying he needed to feed his family, that he was desperate, that if he's stripped it's the end of him, etc.etc, so the President felt sorry for him, and for the third time, bent the rules in his favour - he'd be allowed to fight Johnson in April with the belt on the table. But guess what...even after all of that, Dawson had the cheek to ask for Diaconu to be stripped of his mandatory status AGAIN! The President told him to **** off; I'm surprised he didn't change his mind to strip him there and then...

...Hopkins was forced to sign a contract that - get this - that he would respect his contractual obligations to the WBC and that he'd fight Diaconu, if the latter beat Henry to become Interim Champ! In other words, he was forced to sign a contract saying he would respect the contract he had broken 3 times already, with the WBC!!!atsch

Anyway, after all of that, in his recent interviews, he still says that his next fight after Johnson will be the winner of Woods v. Tarver, or RJJ - not even the slightest hint of Diaconu!!! Despite the latest contract etc.

So what am I to believe?

He has been ducking him so far and I won't be surprised if he continues to duck him after Johnson...but this time he WILL get stripped...4 times to **** the WBC off would be too much!

• 1st ducking: when he argued that Mendoza should be considered his mandatory defence and demanded that Diaconu's mandatory status be revoked, after the WBC reconfirmed Diaconu as his mandatory and told him to get on with fighting him as soon as possible.
• 2nd ducking: when he signed to fight Johnson at an unspecified future date, despite the WBC telling him to fight Diaconu before anyone else - he was the mandatory!
• 3rd ducking: when he didn't fight Johnson by the 15th of January deadline imposed by the ever generous and linient WBC, which meant he couldn't fight Diacony by the 15th of March deadline.
• 4th ducking: when, having arranged to fight Johnson long after the deadline, and being threatened with the stripping, he not only demanded that he fight Johnson with the belt on the table - instead of dropping the belt, giving it to Diaconu to fight for, as a vacant title, but also, AGAIN requested that Diaconu's mandatory status be revoked finally (forever).
• indication of possible 5th (future) ducking: having been forced to sign a contract that he wouldn't be breaking any more contracts in futureatsch , talking about his future fights after Johnson, he mentioned the Woords v. Tarver winner, he mentioned RJJ, he mentioned Pavlik...heck, he even mentioned Calzaghe...yet he never ONCE mentioned Diaconu, his mandatory for quite a while and the man the agreed AGAIN, for the 5th time to fight, not more than a couple of weeks earlier!!!

END OF DISCUSSION!

 

Decebal......there are hundreds on internet sources saying that Diaconu pulled out with a broken writst...ESPN site included. Is this some kind of media conspiracy?

 

No. Diaconu pulled out with a bona fide hand injury. :thumbsup

Dawson ducked him when he returned to action repeatedly. Please read the posts I made on the subject in this thread to convince yourself.:thumbsup

 

I knew i remebered some sort of ***** **** diacnou did to avoid dawson. And decebal man that post you just did made no sense whatsoever. Please look up in the dictionary 'Occums Razor'

 

I read it and you sound like a total nutter, sorry.

 

Yeah, I'm a nutter because you cannot accept the truth.

And, buddy...you might want to look up "to duck" in the dictionary...

:smooch

 

Well, I am a fan of Dawson, but Decebal has a point, it doesn't appear like Dawson was interested in facing Diaconu for a re-scheduled fight.

Though in Dawson's defence, since Diaconu pulled out so close to their fight, it's no wonder his team is hesitant to stage another event around a potential Dawson-Diaconu matchup.

 

So what side you taking there mr. democrat? did diancou puss out or not?

 

Diaconu was injured, that much seems clear. Would you fight a guy like Chad Dawson with a hand injury?

Neither would I. :good

 

hand injury my ass. He just wants to protect that perfect little '0' on his record.

 

You look dumb by exaggerating and stretching the truth. You claimed that Dawson has been ducking Diacnonu for a long time. That's bull****. Dawson/Dianconu was signed for Sept. 29 2007. Dianconu pulled out the fight 10 days before it was supposed to happen with a broken hand. So realisticly, he wouldn't have been ready to fight Dawson until probably January or February at the earliest. So the longest you can realistically say that Dawson has been ducking Dianconu is a couple of months. This is hardly a long time. Furthermore, now we're supposed to believe that Dawson is ducking Dianconu in order to fight Johnson. Sorry, I'm not buyin that. Still though, even if you do buy it, Dawson has only put off the Dianconu fight for a couple of months. Once again, this is hardly a long time. Check out this quote;

This is straight Dawson's promoter's mouth. So clearly, they have every intention to fight Dianconu. The only way this will change is if they get a big money offer from Tarver. So no, there is no ducking going on. And if there was ducking going on, it would have only been for a couple of months; not a long time like you erroneously claimed. Don't worry though, Diaconu will get his ass whooped in due time. Just be patient.
