    Yea, I'm sure he's ducking THAT guy.
    Diaconu was Dawson's mandatory for the WBC title. Dawson vacated the title in order to face Tarver instead of fighting the rumanian.

      And in your eyes that means he ducked him?

      Well to some that was a good idea because Tarver is a better fighter.

      An interesting argument considering Kessler's decision to face his mandatory no matter how terrible he is.

        Im not really sure how Dawson is 'ducking' Diaconu. Diaconu aint a bad fighter, but what do you think was the bigger fight? Tarver or Diaconu? and judging by his record, he doesnt look like he would be that huge of a threat, seems like he only barely beat Chris Henry.

        anyways, I would love to see Kessler fight Taylor or unify the titles. hopefully he wont have to blow away any more of these weak opponents.

          Last article I read on Dawson said he ducked Diaconu FIVE times so far.

            Time to stop reading that writer...especially when you look at Dawson's past five fights.

              You have consistently produced some of the worst posts I've seen on this board mate.

              Ain't that the truth. I've been calling for a ban on this clown for weeks. The guy is weirdo who's obsessed with Joe Calzaghe. Reason he slates Kessler is because he was a Calzaghe opponent and people respect him. Simple as that.

                Dawson lost to Johnson. After that, I lost respect for Chad and the fact him and his goons haven't offered a rematch.

                  ****, I give him credit for taking that fight ONCE. Everyone complains about not getting a fight but they never want to fight Johnson. And if I had a nickel for every fighter who didn't give a rematch...ahem.

                  But back to the point...switch writers, he has no idea what he's talking about. Five times? Man, can I have his job?

                    No I deliberately did not use that word although a lot of other posters would. At the time I said it was a matter of economics. A fight with Tarver meant a larger purse. So electing not to face Diaconu was a business move. I could argue however, that it in a sporting sense it was a duck indeed.

                      Ehh...I don't think so. Diaconu has not proven to be on Tarver's level. End of story.

                      For example, fighting Jermain Taylor for Kessler over a mandatory is a business move - but it's also a BETTER move if he's better than the mandatory.
