Why is Dawson waiting so long to get back in the ring?

168 would be too low, he says he could make it but it would hurt his body too much.
Pascal is the second best LHW now (Hopkins will move up and chase a fight IMO) Cloud has fought only one good fighter. Pascal is more established, hes young, fast and aggressive. Dawson should get credit for wanting to fight the best at LHW.
He has faced Glen Johnsonx2 and Tarverx2, Harding and Adamek already at his young age, June is the date Pascal said he'd be back Dawson is the interim champ. Pascal HAS to face him, if Dawson wins he gets a world title then can fight a unification fight with Cloud, Brähmer etc.

Originally posted by jrosales13 View PostIs not an excuse. Is that Dawson fight twice a year cuz he has an HBO contract. You can only fights on the dates that HBO gives you. Tarvoris does not have that so why is he not fighting often? And, Dawson is fighting Pascal next in June. Unless B-Hop comes calling. So what is the big deal bro?

TS I think you have some kind of agenda against Dawson or something
I mean the last we spoke on the issue, in the Pascal-Dawson showdown we were talking about this so called "double standard" which exists between Cloud and Dawson since they both haven't fought to often
but at least Dawson has fought twice this year and twice last year .. something Cloud did not do
you then responded with dawson having fought Ian Gardner .. but it was in 2005 so not very relevant to now.
and so what about Tarver not coming close to stopping Woods .. Antonio Tarver still dominated him and pitched a damn near shut out

doesn't matter, in the build up to Buster Douglas vs Tyson, Buster's mother died before the fight and Buster fought anyway and won.
stop pulling at BS to discredit Chad.
and officially every Cloud-Woods scorecard was 8 rounds to 4
Clinton lost both fights clearly, but he did a bit better vs Cloud.
he wasn't even in the fight vs Tarver.

Originally posted by Iceta View PostSo being inactive for eight months and not getting paid at all in that time frame is a reward? Give me a break.
but look at all the between time since Cloud's two fights
why are you knocking on Dawson for his inactivity when Cloud fights less frequently.
Johnson and Tarver might be only 2 fights in a year and waiting till June might not deserve a so called reward
but at least Dawson's fighting.
**what is Cloud doing in the meantime in regards to his fights?

I agree that Cloud deserves the same criticism. But I'm gonna wait to see what happens when the TV dates open up before I criticize him any further than I and other people have. There's really nobody good for him to fight if Dawson isn't going to give him a shot because 175 is a waste land right now. This fight makes sense on so many levels and Cloud is healthy and ready to fight. What's Dawson's excuse for not fighting him? It's bull****.
