    What is holding up Tarver-Dawson?

    Calzaghe has at least two fights on his plate before taking on either of them if he even fights two fights before retiring. Showtime puts them on the same card whenever possible to draw interest, but neither seems to be pursuing it at all. This is one of those fights that makes perfect sense and I don't think we should let either guy slide without taking the fight. What else is there to do? I really do not need to see Dawson against any mandatories and Tarver should be pursuing only big fights at age 39.

    Dawson needs to fight his mandatory which is Adrian Diaconu.

        Who is Adrian Diaconu and why should I care? I guess Dawson is feeling uncomfortable after what Johnson did to him

            Roy jones junior, Tarver seem to have this obsession in fighting someone he has beaten twice in three fights. I understand he would make more money fighting RJJ but nobody wants to see a fourth fight between them two.

            Dawson seems like he want to fight Tarver but with Jones and NOW joe calzaghe around the corner tarver doesnt seem to want to commit, So dawson is fighting his mandatory Diocanu.

              He needs to fight Diaconu, if he doesn't, the WBC strips him.

              Maybe in the near future there will be a Dawson-Johnson 2 because the WBC put Johnson as their number 1 contender for whoever wins Dawson-Diaconu.

                Tarver is and was holding up the match now Dawson has the WBC on his ass to fight his mandatory.

                  Tarver's full of ****. His ticket to fame was KOing RJJ, yet he makes it seem like he's God's gift to the squared circle.

                    Dawson needs to dump his belt and fight Tarver if the Magic man still wants it. Both Tarver and Glen Johnson dumped their belt to fight each other few years ago.

                    This is the part I hate about sancioning belts.
