Chad Dawson vs Joe Calzaghe

[Fenster]

Just out of interest seeing as your a true statto as to who has the belts and the lineage, why wasn't the Hopkins Tarver fight a non title affair?

Did Tarver refuse to put his belt on the line against Hopkins or did he relinquish it to play Mason Dixon?

I don't think Tarver had an alphabet since the Johnson fight. They BOTH gave their belts back to fight eachother... instead of the no.1 contenders to their belts.

So a bit like Malignaggi Hatton then?

Yeah exactly mate (you heard Steve Bunces explanation, right?). I was gonna bring that up yesterday. Barrera's an obvious example who went through a period of effing the belts off instead of paying sanction fees.

Well you should. The IBF wanted $300,000 from Powderpuff and Hatton to fight for their belt. So they rightly fucked them off. Now the IBF will get about $10,000 for their no.1 and no.2 rated fighters match - Urango and someone.

Something like that anyway
