    The problem Dawsxon has is that he won a close fight with loveable loser Glen Johnson. So even though he won fair and square nobody will give him credit for it because Johnson is the fighter 'who gets robbed'.

    Many times Johnson has thrown away wins but running out a gas and turning off in rounds, all Johnson has to do is say he was robbed and people beleive him...whether it is true or not...

    Tarver has a big mouth and has not backed it up in his last few fights, Dawson will put on a masterclass and shut that mouth once and for all.

    As for the Dawson v Johnson fight, in no way did Johnson win that fight. Yes he was coming forward for the whole fight and was less effected by Dawson's shots than Dawson was with his. However Dawson clearly threw more and landed with more regularity and although hurt a few times was never down. In the last few rounds he kept away and boxed mostly and still landed more shots. I had it 116-112 for Dawson and this was being as generous to Johnson as I could. Tarver lost the first time he met Johnson so the comparison there is not good for Tarver imo, even the second fight Tarver had with Johnson was still quite close so in no way did he dominate Johnson. Dawson will win UD or late stoppage.
