Dawson/Tarver is officially set for October 11th!!!! Predictions???

[Kobe Bryant]

Tarver has been ducking him for a while. Time to take your medicine Mr. Dixon.....

[Dan...]

The winner of this fight is easily the best light heavyweight in the world. If either guy wins, then it should boost them to the number one spot becuase both are champions and both are ranked in the top 5. I like Calzaghe, but the only name that he has beaten was Bernard Hopkins and thats not fair for him to ranked at number one over guys that have done more in the division and beaten the better guys there.

Except for Diaconu obv. His resume >>>>> the entire LHW division.

LOL exactly, what was i thinking? Diaconu obviously should be ranked at number one automatically simply becuase everyone is scared to fight him.

I'll be rooting for Dawson, he's young, prime, and ready. If he takes it, I think Pavlik has company among the American elite.

[The Hammer]

If age 26 Dawson gets KOed by a 40 year old man, it will be very bad for him.

But, it should be a very interesting fight. Tarver by KO or Dawson by decision will be the outcome.

Tarver may have done more in the division than Calzaghe, but he sure didn't do better against Bernard Hopkins.

Thats true however Calzaghe didn't look too great against Hopkins either. Tarver has done more in the division and a win over Dawson should surely put him at the number 1 spot. Calzaghe is not interesting in unifying the titles and it will only matter of time until the sactioning bodies puts a mandotory on him.

I want to say Tarver KO...I think the old man might upset Dawson.

Good prediction and many people agree with you on this forum. Dawson didn't look very good in his last fight against Johnson. I personally favor Dawson becuase Tarver is not a pressure fighter and Dawson usually does well in technical boxing matches. A good fight either way.

Dawson looked horrible against Johnson because he recently switched trainers and was inactive for 7 months. Since Dawson training with Mayweather Sr. is no longer a possibly (just read what Mayweather Sr. said about Dawson) it looks like Dawson is stuck with Eddie Muhammad. Slick do you think Dawson will get back to form with Muhammad or he needs a new trainer?

[Silencers]

Dawson by decision. I don't think Tarver has the legs to move out of danger anymore so I think if Dawson applies the right gameplan and uses his speed, he'll win the fight as Roy Jones said, Tarver can't deal with speed anymore. Dawson has to be careful not to get caught though because Tarver can still ****.
