With the passing of time, mofos start rewriting history whether it's for their hating agenda or just plain ignorance. Don't let it happen.

For Tavoris Cloud:

Who knows if mandatory light heavyweight challenger Tavoris Cloud will ever win a world title. But Cloud can rest assured that he and his team have won something even more prestigious already: A full scholarship to the Winky Wright School of Boxing Business.

Their decision to press their mandatory status and pass on a spot on the HBO-televised undercard of Chad Dawson-Glen Johnson II in the fall (a fight that would have paid Cloud more than $100,000) was absurd. The fight guaranteed Cloud would get the next title shot on HBO (probably for at least $500,000) as long he and Dawson both won. Instead, when Cloud and Co. declined the offer, Dawson vacated his belt and will fight Johnson anyway.

Cloud will wind up fighting for chump change, likely against Clinton Woods, for the vacant belt. If Cloud wins, there is no defense for him worth nearly what a Dawson fight would have paid him and no guaranteed spot on HBO. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/blo...-still-to-come

For Adrian Diaconu:

Light heavyweight titlist Chad Dawson just rolls with the punches. An opponent change on less than two weeks' notice? No big deal.

Dawson (24-0, 16 KOs) was supposed to face mandatory challenger Adrian Diaconu in his second defense. But Diaconu withdrew with a hand injury, clearing the way for slugger Epifanio Mendoza (28-4-1, 24 KOs) to step into the main event at Arco Arena in Sacramento, Calif., on Saturday night (10 ET/PT, Showtime free preview weekend). http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...dan&id=3040425

great topic, it is very needed. i just think its remarkable how people think Dawson is ducking cloud to fight better fighters. not only that but the cloud fight will happen probably after pascal granted he wins.
