    i picked that option! Tarver will discuss with Dawson the fact that he knocked out Roy Jones Jr with 1 punch which will make Dawson have second doubts and back out. so Tarver by discussion!!!

          Tarver definitely has the experience and the resume against better opposition, which would favor him. Dawson is young and hungry to be on top, which is his fuel for victory. I think this is a fight that could easily go either way, especially if one executes his fight plan over the other as intended. If I truly had to pick one, then I would go with Dawson.

          With Tarver being slower, Dawson will need to use his speed and be the aggressor, coming at Tarver from all angles. Tarver doesn't really fight well, when someone is attacking him. If you notice, most of Tarver's opponents are always "waiting" to find spots to attack, which is just fine for the older, Tarver. Dawson wins, if he puts pressure on Tarver.

          Now, Tarver could win just as well against Dawson. For Tarver to win though, he would have to put on what would be a very boring permance to use fight fans. He would have to use his jab to control the pace of the fight and do a lot of holding, when things are not going his way.... similiar to the Johnson-Tarver 2 match. Unfortunately, that plan would make for 48 minutes of boredom.

          Dawson UD.

                Chad UD. His speed and skill will win him a relatively comfortable decision over Tarver I think. As has already been mentioned Tarver is getting on a bit and has lost a bit of his edge and no longer really has the stamina to go at it with Dawson I don't think. Still, Tarver does have power which should keep the fight interesting.
