    I'd rather see him against Cloud. I watched him against Gonzalez, a guy with a real iron jaw and he pummelled him very impressively!

    In fact I think that might be the most interesting fight at LHW at the minute (outside old men).

    Dawson has to fight cloud in 2010, but I have a suspicion that the winner of this fight will end up facing B-Hop first.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I think Dawson will win a bit easier this time as he will probably have improved slightly and Johnson is getting older and older. But it's looking more and more likely that the new super active version of Roy Jones may fight Hopkins next year so Hopkins won't fight again for 12 months minimum win or lose becasue he's got one lined up too I think before he faces Jones and he only likes one a year.

    What do you mean by has to?

    There's no IBF link for them now.

    Well it makes way more sense to fight Johnson again than it does Tarver. Other than the money I think the reason hes fighting him again is because hes looked at the tape and knows that he probably lost to him first time so he wants to exact revenge. I had Johnson winning 8-4 first fight, although there were 5 close rounds and I gave 4 of them to Johnson. Im gona watch it again in preperation for this rematch but I remember thinking that it would be a bit cheeky for Dawson to get anymore than a draw out of it. Johnson deserves another shot and I like the fight.

    He fought Tarver again solely because the rematch clause was invoked, different situation.

    HBO are paying almost a third of the cost of staging a Super Six tournament to show Chad Dawson in a rematch that nobody really wants to see. Again. Add the cost of the Tarver and Johnson rematches together and you've got half a SS tournament paid for. And they've signed a long-term exclusive deal with GBP only to see all their prospects' bubbles burst in short order and now are contractually bound to show ancient GDP people like Hopkins till 2011. The entire HBO boxing executive staff need to be fired. Any Saddo regular could do an infinitely superior job in his spare time than the head of HBO boxing does.

    Well I want to see it, and it sounds like others do as well. I think Glen deserves it. #1 was close enough to feel unresolved in my mind, and I enjoyed it. For sure if the judges that judged Froch v Dirrell had judged it (assuming there was no bias), Johnson would have gotten the nod. He is good at forcing a fight; which makes him enjoyable to watch.

    I didn't mean it in a contractual way, more of a valley girl way.
