Second, for Dawson, it didn't happen like that; Dawson did drop his title because he didn't want to fight Diaconu, even Gary Shaw mentioned it in an interview as it was seen as pointless, it made a big history over here, especially as before that, Dawson went to Sulaiman in person in Mexico to beg him to not make Diaconu his mandatory opponent, which Sulaiman didn't listen to (he's an old dumbfuck but has been ok for that one). unfortunately, Diaconu injured himself, delaying the fight and then Dawson took another optional defense and ran away because apparently, money/risk, Diaconu was a very very bad compromise.
I never said that Diaconu would beat Dawson, I just sums up the fact that Dawson ducked him and didn't want to fight him, dot.

Fight Prediction Leagues > Dawson ducks Diaconu, stripped of title.

p.s: The ducking thing started, as I stated, PRE-Tarver and PRE Diaconu's injury.
Tomato can or not he still fought 2 months prior. And went 8 full rounds. Rust was not an excuse. Cuz he wasn't rustly. He was just outclassed.

And quoting some poster from some obscure forum doesn't count ass proof.
Completely agree, there's nothing official. You have to ask the most obvious question.

Why would a man willing to take on Tomasz Adamek, Glen Johnson twice & Antonio Tarver be afraid of fighting Diaconu, whose best wins were over a Rico Hoye who was ruined by Clinton Woods & Chris Henry, who is a capable fighter but nowhere near championship level. Seriously why?
There ain't no reason. I don't know about some of these posters. Can they not see the foolishness of even suggesting Dawson ducked Diaconu? Diaconu is like a midget compared to Dawson. Every advantage belongs to Dawson. He would toy with him until the ref or corner stopped it. Really for Dawson to face Diaconu would be a step backwards for him
