    I scored the first fight a draw. He should have rematched Johnson immediatley, i'm not sure Johnson will still have it in him to actually beat Dawson this time. He didn't look too great in his last outing.

      Just like I've been saying all along. Everyone cried about the Tarver fight because it shouldn't have happened. They said Dawson was ducking this fight and didn't want to see Johnson ever again, once again Chad proves the haters wrong.

      He'll give you the fight you want, and win it decisively this time.

        Chad Dawson must feel the age 40 Glen Johnson is old enough and far enough past his prime to defeat now.

        What about Tavoris Cloud? Will Dawson vacate the IBF title?

          Does Johnson deserve a rematch? Absolutely. Should Dawson do this? No. Dawson needs co capitalise upon his youth and begin knocking names off his list. He's a damn good fighter. He could be better, yes. Admittedly, I'm biased, but I'd like to see a match with Froch. This would be unfortunate for Johnson, but such is life.

              I feel ya. All Chad wants to do is fight "THE BEST".... Which most would say Joe Calzaghe... DAWSON CLLED HIM OUT... he retired...... Second was Hopkins, Dawson called him out.... he wont fight him... So who's left? Johnson. Will people STFU now if he fights Johnson.... WHO IS 40 years OLD. I mean Joe Calzaghe GOT **** for fighting 2 40+ year olds back to back YET for Dawson thats all they want to see...... They dont make any sense....

              BUt the fight should happen because there is nothing left for him. I have Dawson beating on the OLD Johnson to a UD this time around.

              Dawson hasnt "DUCKED" anybody. Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins (one could even say Roy Jones) ducked Dawson.... People need to get it right......

              But lets get the fight made and over with. It sucks that the LHW's are so weak he has had to fight and BEAT the same 2 guys twice........

                The fight was a year ago, and the only reason he couldn't rematch Glen Johnson right away was because of the ****** sanctioning bodies (they wanted Dawson to fight Adrian Diaconu, but he vacated the WBC belt to fight Antonio Tarver). If the sanctioning bodies weren't in the way, Dawson would of rematch Johnson immediately.

                  The IBF isn't like the WBC from what I noticed, they usually don't force champions to fight mandatories unless they feel like it's absolutely necessary. In this case it isn't, because Cloud hasn't fought for a very long time and they know that Dawson-Johnson II needs to happen.

                      Why I can't understand is, why all the way in Fall? It's May right now, so why not in the summer? Dawson becoming a "two fight per year" fighter is not a good thing...
