Dawson-Tarver rematch set for March 14

[Rantcatrat]

He may not be the second coming, but he is damn good.

Who beats Dawson at 175 that is still fighting? Bhop won't give Chad the time of day because Chad has the style to beat Bhop. He schooled Tarver. He is all wrong for Woods. And does the same to Roy. That leaves Glen Johnson and Adrian Diaconu. Glen deserves the rematch and I'll admit it would be interesting. Diaconu is untested against the elite although he has potential.

Yes, he is good. Very good, actually.

But top level fighters should be very good. I just dont think he has done all that much yet. I would like to see him face Calzaghe if anybody. Calzaghe is the best fighter out there, nobody better to test yourself against. But as it is, I have no qualms with Tarver trying to have another go. And its good practice for Dawson.

Calzaghe is RETIRED, and Hopkins is better than him. This isn't about testing Dwason, he has already beaten Adamek(the current best cruiserweight), Glen Johnson, Tarver, and Harding... He hasn't done all that much? That was more than everything Calzaghe did before he faced Kessler and Hopkins.

I don't see the point in arguing the same point about Calzaghe and Hopkins again. Really. Either way clearly it wasn't either fighter's best performance. And why do you turn every post into an anti-Calzaghe tirade. I didn't mean to instigate that at all. If I did I apologize.

Dawson only very barely squeaked by Glen Johnson. The cards were 116-112, but the fight was a lot closer. Glen deserves a rematch; they have unfinished business. Tarver was right when he said Dawson looked like a deer in headlights after that fight.

If I were Dawson and I couldn't get Bhop I would make a very generous offer to fight Erdei in Germany because he will easily win that one and take a belt.

Diaconu has one fight before fighting Glen Johnson. If Johnson wins, give Johnson the rematch. If Diaconu wins, fight him. Either way you have two of the major belts.

Kessler doesn't need to step up in weight to fight Dawson when the smw division is as deep as it is. If I were him, I'd clear out my division.
