Dawson blatantly DUCKED Kessler!

[hishaam15]

Aint about ducking at all. Its the risk-reward ratio. If you were Dawson would you fight Kessler at 168 where your not sure you would perform as well as you did at 175 AND make less money, or rematch Tarver on HBO, make an easy couple of million $ and stretch your undefeated record without a big risk?

@175. Didn't want to go down. Even just a little. Now he's ready to go down ALL THE WAY!

This cannot be interpreted as anything less than a duck.

or deepthroat

It was Dawson who challenged Kessler and refusing to fight below 175. Today he says he's ready to move down ALL THE WAY.

How is it possible to interpret this as anything but a duck?

Because Tarver came along, and he realised he could make more money with less risk rematching him on HBO.. All about the $$$

But that's not true. Dawson decided to fulfill the Tarver rematch-clause AFTER the Kessler fight fell through.

Hopefully Tarver defies father time, knocks out Dawson, and knocks out Kessler in Copenhagen.

Then Kessler will become an unofficial resident of Denmark, only he won't live there because of the heavy tax burden.

Tarver will then be called the BLACK VIKING WARRIOR, and will get some viking tattoos, preferably on one arm only to conform with Danish standards.

oh and Tarver will fight Kessler at 168 after dropping from 220.

You're grasping and not making much sense.

Dawson said he didnt want to fight at 168, and that he didn't want to get into catchweight fights, as LHW was his division and he wanted to make his career there.

However, now, seeing the limited options available to him now with Slapzaghe and Hopkins both unwilling to fight him, he has now come out and said that maybe he will have to go down to 168 to get some fights.

Circumstances have changed......and thus, so has his outlook. If he's looking to go to 168, I'm guessing Kessler is at the top of the list. Has he come out and said that he doesn't want to fight Kessler NOW at 168? So how about you wait and see how it pans out?

I mean, you seriously think Dawson is scared of....Kessler? He's already fought Adamek, Johnson and Tarver, so why would he duck a smaller man, who IMHO, he would beat comprehensively?

And considering the lack of names on Kessler's resume, I wouldn't really call someone who has fought Harding, Adamek, Tarver and Johnson a ducker.

Tarver is more of a risk than Kessler.
