The mandatory defense against Diaconu will be enforced - Dawson should have faced Tarver sooner, instead of both of them facing easier opponents back in June. The Tarver vs. Dawson fight is cancelled.

Tarver apparently thought the money the venue offered wasnt enough, and declined to fight him.

Good choice if you ask me, bad for the fans though

Money is just an excuse. Tarver knows Dawson is a young lion, and he has no business getting in the ring with him.

Diaconu vs dawson is a better fight anyway.

[Crazy Dude]

Tarver keeps holding out for a big payday. He may end up missing all his paydays.

[Randall_Hopkirk]

Diaconu maybe the guy to burst the Dawson bubble, smart money is on Dawson by Decision though.

[SkillspayBills]

Tarver priced himself out, he dones't want any of dawson.

Tarver was scared and he know he will get beat worse than Hopkins beat him. and i dont think any lightheavyweight can beat Chad Dawson right now
