    Tarver looked extremely sharp against Woods. I'll take Tarver by dec.

      Wladowns has some good points to be fair. Not sure Johnsons as soft as you think but Tarver hits hard and would trouble Dawson. Tarver did pretty much call out Dawson if I remember rightly, in the post fight press conference. One of them, pretty sure Tarver, turned around and said to the other lets get it on. Lame if he's pricing himself out, I don't think he'll get Calzaghe if he's so awkward, unlikely as it already is.

      I get a feeling this could be a crap fight. Dawson ran a lot from Johnson, I think he would more from Tarver knowing his power, and Tarver doesn't quite have the full evil killer instincts to finish it off. Could quite easily see it being a draw based on they're previous fights.

            I think Tarver however would shock people by stopping Dawson lol. I mean he puts punches together really well.........and what happens if a big left hand lands and he gets Dawson in trouble? it's bad news.

            Good match up though, I'd love to see it.
            Tarver... possibly by stoppage.

                Tarver by KO

                Good post, was gonna say pretty much the same thing

                    tough fight to call i like both fighters TBH

                    Tarver goes into his shell a lot so im not sure if his inactivity might win a Dawson a decision or wether Tarver could actually get Dawson outta there with his power
