Why is Dawson fighting Johnson again?

[Fenster]

The reason is he had a fight with his mandatory (at the time) Tavoris Cloud lined up but HBO weren't interested in it and instead wanted Johnson.

They offered Dawson $150,000 for the Cloud fight and $800,000 for the Johnson fight.

Guess what he chose?

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.

What do you mean by has to?

There's no IBF link for them now.
