Let's hope Dawson has another fight in the works

He has to fight Tarver next. So this thread is pointless. Only if he wants to keep his belt. I'd rather see him vacate and fight someone else, rather than fight Tarver again. Dawson is just too good to waste time with Antonio "Zab Judah #2" Tarver.

He has to fight Tarver next. So this thread is pointless. I don't think it has to be in his next fight or immediate but it has to happen by a certain date. So there is a possibility he can take on someone else so this thread is not pointless.

I really hope that Dawson has another fight in the works and this "injury" announcement is just so he can buy some more time. God I hope that the rematch with Tarver never happens and we hopefully never see Tarver in a meaningful fight again. tarver has a rematch clause

God I hope that the rematch with Tarver never happens and we hopefully never see Tarver in a meaningful fight again. Yeah, when your last meaningful win is a SD over a 60 year old Rocky Balboa, there is a problem.

Dawson should go on the fight so he can say "the right was hurt beat him wit the left"

He has to fight Tarver next. So this thread is pointless. Co-sign homey.

Dawson doesn't have A LOT of options at 175. He has to hope to get rid of the top, make defenses and wait for the fighters at 168 to outgrow the division. By then, he'll end up growing more comfortable with 175 then he is, since he's a RELATIVELY small Light Heavyweight, could make 168, possibly. Once the Lucian Bute's and Mikkel Kessler's get a bit bigge, he'll get his real tests. As for the Tarver rematch, sometimes you have to take a step back to get ahead. This is one of those occasions.

He has to fight Tarver next. So this thread is pointless.
