    I hope so, he needs to retire regardless.

    So its a definite that Dawson is going to win now ?
    I'm not saying Tarver will win but he has a chance, especially after Dawson's last fight.

    Dawson = in his prime

    Tarver is older plus he fights too cautiously and is a counterpuncher. Your not gonna beat Dawson if your an old counterpuncher lol

    Good point, but Tarver can still crack. Chad may have to do more boxing than we all think.

    yes I put that into consideration and Tarver can definitley crack but other than maybe daze Dawson with a good shot hes not gonna knock him out.. he couldnt knock out clinton woods.. Dawson had a good test against Glen Johnson and proved he could take a shot and even still.. Tarver doesnt fight as come forward and puts as much pressure as Glen Johnson its just not his in ring style and itsnot going to change for this fight either.

    I don't think he's going to lose. Dawson lost to Glen imho, and took a hell of a beating. I don't think he'll be as good stepping into the ring as he was last time, and Tarver probably still has enough left to take him out.
