I don't think that's fair, Chad beat Adamek, G. Johnson, Tarverx2, I think he's way better than Jermain Taylor or Kelly Pavlik, and IMO he would give Hopkins all he could handle with that ridiculous handspeed, and because he goes to the body and I've always thought that was the one place you could land on Hopkins.Quote:

the rematch here is justified anyway
Well I want to see it, and it sounds like others do as well. I think Glen deserves it. #1 was close enough to feel unresolved in my mind, and I enjoyed it. For sure if the judges that judged Froch v Dirrell had judged it (assuming there was no bias), Johnson would have gotten the nod. He is good at forcing a fight; which makes him enjoyable to watch.Quote:

It's not like the first fight was a thumping bore.
Bad Chad is fighting The Road Warrior again cuz he almost got punked the 1st time:hypnotized: & everyones been calling for a return
Nard didn't want him yet & Cloud wasn't worth the pennies:p yet
Dawson has something to prove here & has manned up:appl:
You're going to see exactly the same fight again. Dawson will scrape it but Johnson will have his moments and will look disgusted when Dawson gets the decision.Quote:

Hopkins wants to replicate what Foreman did at 45 by winning a championship & the Dawson fight would give him the chance:lickish:
Johnson is the only fighter HBO would approve. So it Dawson want to make the big bucks, he has to do what they say.

a lot of people thought johnson won or maybe a draw so i think HBO is giving dawson the chance to show people that the "gift" decision wasn't a mistake.
Holy Crap. I agree with Taeth on something! I better have a cab pick me up from work and wear my anti-lightning helmet the rest of the day.Quote:
