I have to agree with Eagle I hope Traver gets KTFO!!! But in honesty IMO he is too experienced for Dawson...I like Dawson and think he is a good fighter but when ever Tarver is around I know the night is always going to end bad :(
Unless Hopkins is around :D
Since beating Adamek Dawson has got some defences under his belt (pun intended...whatcha gonna do about it?) and I think he's got a good chance of beating Tarver, who has really done absolutely nothing in the past two years except lose and cash cheques for beating mediocre opposition.
If it happens I really hope, like Eagle says, that he gets KTFO.
I'm playing follow the leader on this one and I hope Tarver gets put to sleep. I like Dawson and enjoy watching him; and hopefully he'll do the thing on Tarver.

I can only hope that Chad takes Tarver apart.
I really dislike Tarver.
Well at 1st a couple of months back I was thinking BCD just wasn't ready for someone as seasoned as Tarver.
Now you know what, fuck it!
Bring on Tarver... Come on BCD time to do your thing again. 8)
I got 'chu BCD your time is now. 8)
Didn't get to see either of them in the last fights...so it's hard to say...but a name of Tarver's magnitude would look really swell on Dawson's record. The thing is...the last time I saw Dawson fight was against Adamek (I think) & while Dawson won...Adamek was able to catch Dawson a few times...a few stunning times...& that really really made me sweat it.
People can write Tarver off all they want...hell...I'll even jump on that bandwagon...but before I get onto Dawson's wagon full speed ahead...I want to see him in action a bit more.
He's fun to watch & explosive as fwock...but he's got a shitty defense...& against some of the second tier names @ 175lbs he's gonna have some troubles.
Hell he'll have some trouble against some of the elder ex-champs...I'd be worried for him.
I'm just a bit curious as to why no one has really been screaming Glengoffe Donovan Johnson?
He'd be a perfect gauge for BCD's future prospects. Think about it, 11 losses or not, Johnson's a tuff pill to swallow on any given Saturday.
So let's say that Tarver aint an easy sell...maybe that he even runs from the young buck...would anyone here like to see Dawson jump into the January 5th spot against Johnson?
I'm just curious...because honestly...I don't think that Tarver will want to face him.
Well i dont know what to think of Taver and and the thing is he looks like he is going to fall asleep in that ring it is funny.
Dawson called Johnsons Name last night,said it was possible.Quote:

I had to get a refund last month on Johnson vs. Reggie Johnson down here.Mad respect for Glenn and He Is a threat to both.Tarver at 39 needs to turn it up next fight or he will fade away..........Via Left hook hopefully ;D ;D
tarver will lose. i feel he is done
I like Dawson i see him outpointing Tarver clearly.
Tarver is a twat...so who cares?
Dan Rafael of ESPN (whose info I trust) is reporting that the more likely scenario is a doubleheader in April where Dawson fights Glen Johnson, and Tarver fights Jeff Lacy. Of course, Lacy has to win this weekend to make it happen.
I'm not a huge fan of Rafael but he usually gets his news spot on(although he's always a littl behind everyone else!) I like that double header and the winners could fight each other. I fancy Jeff over Tarver and Chad over Glen.Quote:

Well thats just as good, Johnson would give Dawson a tougher test than Tarver imo, his non stop pressure will test Dawson and we will see what Dawson is made of.Quote:

Boxingtalk's also saying Dawson-Johnson looking likely for April 12
No mention of Lacy-Tarver but it says Dawson-Johnson would be in Tampa. Pretty sure that's Lacy's hometown right and think they had the Reid fight there.
Both Lacy and Tarver are from Tampa/St. Pete area.Quote:

I think both Tarver & Glen would test BCD but in different aspects.
Glen - Would test his chin and how well BCD can handle an in your face fighter who can pretty much walk thru anything you throw at him
Tarver - Would test his skills to the fullest from footwork, to jabbing, to countering. It would test his tactical skills.
Tarver in 3Quote:

Kind of was like Foreman on his comeback, deceptively powerful. I think Tarver beats Lacy but loses to Glen, because Glen was on fire his last fight. If that Glen shows up, he's a hard night for any LHW.
