Why? Tarver was slower than the village retard.

Yet he just came off beating one of the best light heavyweights in the world in Clinton Woods pretty emphatically. I don't see the point in the fight, and I am a little dissapointed in Chad, I was really hoping he would fight Hopkins.
He's contractually obliged to rematch Tarver, it was just a matter of when
Let's not forget that Tarver has never lost a rematch, 3 of the 5 people who have beaten him gave him a rematch and he beat them all.
I don't think it will be a walkover for Chad by any means. I expect him to win but Tarver is certainly capable of a suprise.
Look at Vernon when he lost to Sergio Mora, we thought he was done but he rematched him and dominated him completely.
Now I know Chad Dawson is no Sergio Mora but Tarver has pedigree whether you like him or not.
B Hop has come back when it looked like he was done after back to back losses to Jermain, I'm still intrigued to an extent for this fight.
Tarver is never in a barn burner but it should still be interesting.
I just hope Showtime continue their record of putting decent names on the undercard. I imagine either Nonito Donaire or Vic Darchinyan would be a good support act, and probably the usual Angulo or Kirkland 3 rounder to start things off.
I wouldn't mind that card.
I would rather see a rematch with Glen Johnson then Tarver I thought he clearly defeated tarver.
Uh, look for Dawson to trounce Tarver even worse in the rematch. Dawson was riding on a wave of confidence before and invited Tarver to try to hurt him. This of course is after he made Tarver turtle up after hit him everywhere several times over. Dawson is going to look to make a STATEMENT. Something like putting Tarver on his tush for a ten count perhaps. He was faster than Tarver the first time, he'll be even faster the next as he is still approaching his prime and Tarver has to squint out the back window to see his. Tarver only won rounds when Dawson didn't feel like fighting as hard and even then he was able to hit Tarver whenever he felt like it.
Oops
Dawson will take Tarver to school for the second time.
The difference is Mora is a piece of crap fighting a guy with a similar career and skill level to Vernon, but Dawson is one of the best fighters in the sport, and could become the best fighter in the sport. Tarver had no answer for him, and Dawson wasn't even trying in some rounds.
Jones-Tarver wasn't close at all, people need to rewatch fights from time to time. Roy won by 4 or 5 rounds. Harding outboxed Tarver all night when they fought. In both situations the other was winning the fight until Tarver ended it with one punch. So this situation matches up, but Harding obviously isn't Chad Dawson who outboxed him in almost every round as well, and Roy Jones obviously wasn't anywhere near his prime.
