It's the classic cliche of old, slow, and experienced fighter versus young, fast, and inexperienced fighter. Tarver (39) has much more experience. He's been in with the best of the best and beat quite a few of them. Dawson is young (27) and is fast, but relatively inexperienced.

Dawson is a little taller (6'3 1/2 versus 6'2) and his arms are a little bit longer (76 1/2 to 75).

The fight has a lot of potential.

The winner can lay claim to the light-heavyweight crown because if Calzaghe is stepping down if he beats RJJ. After that pay day, I bet RJJ retires if he wins too.

Tough fight to call. Glen Johnson believes Bad Chad will win it: BOXINGTALK

I'm surprised there isn't more anticipation for this fight. I am very much looking forward to it.
