Dawson Vacates IBF Title, Johnson Fight Nears

[MANGLER]

yea this was a good choice. But like I said even though hes made it into the "cool book" now we will hear about how he's dodging all the dangerous "young" talent. lol

I hope Cloud gets the belt. That way a fight with Dawson and him could be ummm "personal", yea like Dawson's all pissed off because Cloud has his belt and he can be really mad about it... could "bring out the dogg" in him! Like How JT got! lol

You know how HBO will market it! But thats down the road. He does have a tough fight with an "old" (lol) vet. I think he will win but it wont be easy. The youth will factor in plus I think he (hopefully) has getten better since fighting Johnson the 1st go around.... but we will see....

I hope Glen wins, cuz I think he shoulda won the 1st fight, and this is surely his last big fight. Win lose or draw, Chad might as well go down to 168 after this. Much more goin on there than at 175. Ain't many that'll accuse Chad of dodgin Cloud imo. And **** the IBF anyway. Those bastards strip their champs just for scratchin their balls FFS.

these belts dont mean **** anyway. johnson deserved a rematch, thats the only fight at 175 that people would care about anyway.

co-sign. after dawson/johnson II theres nothing at 175. if he can still make 168 he should drop down

[mrosborne]

Hell yeah. Now it's time for Johnson to finish what he started the first time. You can't duck anymore Dawson!

[badnewsbrown]

LOL so i guess the tarver rematch was a waste of time.

Yea, in a way I want Johnson to win as I do most guys that are getting older and looking for one last pay day/big fight.

But then again being a fan of Dawson lol I dont want him to lose. Not only that we might have to watch Dawson fight him yet once again since it would be 1 and 1.....

So that would mean in his last 5 figtht he only fought 2 guys, both being 40+.......

and that sucks!

Good move by dawson!!! Show those organizations they dont run the boxers. This aint 1990's.. He knows the johnson fight was close so he needs this fight,, i'm going for the road warrior on this one though!!!

[Alec900]

so second time Dawson ducks a puncher...

[Boxingwizard]

so second time Dawson ducks a puncher...

lol Tavoris Cloud is a no known name and that prick had the nerve to demand the IBF to strip Dawson of his title, when he hasn't fought in almost a year. Dawson did right thing in fighting Johnson again for a much deserve rematch.

[Deja_Vous]

Lets not change our tune now fellas. Most of you were pressing Dawson to rematch Johnson. It appeared that he was ducking him. He is vacating a paper belt in favor of fighting a legit contender.

He should be applauded. Stop the nonsense, Tarvis Cloud aint going nowhere.

It is weird how they did an about face on Dawson.
