Adrian Diaconu

I cannot see him beating Dawson mainly due to his size, but he will give Dawson a decent fight. He has good solid all around skills, nothing outstanding, but he gets the job done. Crisp puncher and he can deliver very nice short punches. He is actually very entertaining to watch as he takes a fair bit of punches also.

He is beatable but a very respectable fighter.

He got a better offer and a title fight. Which fight do you think will be bigger, Dawson-Tarver or Diaconu-Branco? What television network is going to buy that?

Dawson/Tarver is obviously bigger

It was supposed to be Diaconu vs Johnson, but the god damn WBC decided to make Branco the mandatory instead of Johnson.

Johnson will be fighting the winner of Diaconu/Branco

Diaconu/Johnson is one of the most exciting matchups in boxing, it will be a war.

I'll agree with all of that. Diaconu-Johnson made a lot of sense and would have created a natural opponent for the Tarver-Dawson winner.
