So we have HBO hyping up Chad-Glen II

[Boxingwizard]

If Chad turns this down, than I will take back everything I said about him. I don't see any of the SMW champions calling out Dawson. Hopkins has said he doesn't want to fight Dawson. Money wouldn't be an issue because it would be backed by HBO.

Ehh I didn't really get that impression.

To be honest, the impression I got was that HBO was disappointed in Dawson and we probably won't see him back on HBO. They kept mentioning Johnson, but I think their disappointment in Dawson overshadowed that.

And I, for the life of me, can't figure out why.

HBO is disappointed in Dawson because Dawson/Tarver II absolutely ******, not to mention the fight wasn't jam packed, and I blame some of that on Dawson. His popularity isn't so high because he was promoted by Showtime. He really should of fought Diaconu in Romania and kept the WBC belt.

Oh and they do have a two fight contract. I expect to see Dawson against Glen Johnson next, if HBO is pushing for it.

Well Chad has a two fight contract with HBO so he will be back, both Dawson and Tarver can't draw flys in Vegas.

Whatever Dawson's manager and handlers are telling him, they're telling him the wrong thing. They shouldn't be doing that.
