Dawson claims that this fight has no purpose, or that he was offered only to fight in Romania (I believe that IS true) Would only the die hards view this as a viable contest? Do you think it coul drum up interest that the fight could be held in the US and be on Showtime/HBO? I for one would like to see this fight happen, if only to have two LHW's fighting for a belt that aren't 'Legends'. Or would you rather see Dawson fight Jones/B-Hop/Calzaghe.
You can only hope Dawson will get "exposed" by the limited fighter that is Diaconu. Stop bashing Dawson just cause somebody hurt your feelings by claiming he would beat Calzaghe. I mean ffs take it easy.
isn't Dawson on Showtime? anyway financial Diaconu is not in the league of a fight with the aforementioned 3 but he should get his shot. And I'm sure if they wanted they could make the fight happen but I don't think Dawson wants it.
Come on, if I got upset over every fighter that was meant to beat Calzaghe by some peoples eyes, I'd be the hulk in a constant state of enragement. I just look forward to Dawson being beaten again.
He wasn't 'offered' to fight in Romania. The fight was a mandatory title defense which went to purse bids. Diaconu's people won the purse bid, hence could stage the fight where they wanted. Equally, if Dawson's backers had been willing to stump up the money and had won the purse bid, they could have staged it wherever they wanted.
I would think it should make a HBO card but not for anyone to pay more than their monthly rate and if it happens in Cali or Vegas I'll be looking for some decent priced tickets.
When was Dawson beaten??? And yes, I believe the "Dawson gets beaten by someone, so I will call him an exposed hype job and claim Joe didn't have to face that bum" scenario would fit you pretty well. Or is that something you would never say if Dawson got beat...?
When Johnson beat him, I didn't say any of those things, as he gave a decent account of himself as a slightly above average fighter, losing to an older decent fighter. If however he suffers what Pavlik did, he would warrant those terms.
When Johnson beat him??? How did he beat him, just cause you say so? Then maybe Hopkins beat Calzaghe just cause some people say so. :-( You're biased as hell mate and it shows big time. If you want people to take you seriously in here you'd better give credit to fighters that deserve it, APART FROM CALZAGHE. Enjoy ESB. :roll: PS: Oh, and good job of ducking my question.
Yes,me personnally I would pay to see it cuz I'ma big Diaconu fan but this would almost never go PPV,besides the fight wouldn't go on HBO either,Showtime tops.It would be an interesting clash of styles and a good fight.And most likely Dawson was offered the fight in Canada aswell besides Romania
75% Of people scored Johnson winning that fight... Calzaghe won by at least 8 maybe 9 rounds, unfair comparrison. Johnson also asked for a rematch on the spot, and Dawson fled the scene, probably in disbelief at his successful robbery.
Who's 75% of people? How did Calzaghe win 9 rounds? So with your logic Calzaghe not giving Hopkins a rematch means "he fled the scene"? Can you even back up the **** you're claiming?
Dawson is a real good young fighter, all respect to him... but sorry, I'd say Johnson won that fight!... watch it again. I doubt Diancou could cope with his speed and skill... but his power makes him a live underdog vs Dawson who's chin might be a little suspect.
