Chad Dawson plans to duck Tavoris Cloud

He was going to fight Diaconu if he Adrian wasn't so fragile and I doubt Chad would avoid Kessler, since Mikkel has a semi built name and a title. Too bad about the Cloud situation though, it would be a great fight, but I wouldn't say he's ducking him until he vacates. Dawson has beaten Adamek and Johnson, 2 guys that a lot of guys don't want to fight, he gets the benefit of the doubt from me.

Dawson only fights old men.

Who is Tavorius Cloud and who has he beaten? If Dawson is forced to fight him, he definitely would because he does not want to lose his title. However, if he doesn't have to face him then he wouldn't, and will go after the bigger names. Cloud is a nobody right now.

The IBF always enforce their mandatories. Cloud has already had to wait a little longer while Tarver fought Dawson.

Cloud is a dangerous puncher, younger and quicker than old Johnson. I can see why Dawson will vacate a second title.

Chad Dawson doesn't want to fight anyone near his own age.

According to his promoter Gary Shaw, Dawson will not be fighting his hard-punching young mandatory Tavoris Cloud, and will surrender his IBF title.

Dawson wants to continue fighting older men, rather than prime fighters like Kessler, Diaconu, and Cloud.

this thread would make sense if you knew who dawson was fighting next, but your mad and being a troll because he is a threat to calzaghe.

I have never heard Cloud say that he wanted the Dawson fight, but what i did hear was that his management didn't want the fight just yet because they think its too soon.
