Dawson vs Pascal Being Eyed: Additional News and Notes

[2501]

Don't forget that Diaconu pulled out of a fight against Dawson in late 07 because of an injury.

Other than that, as much as we would've loved to see Dawson-Diaconu, can we blame Dawson for fighting Tarver for a career-high payday, and then, because of the contractual rematch, fighting Tarver again for even more money?

I'd have to say Tarver's win over Clinton Woods is more than Diaconu's done at 175.

Thats the ******ity of Dawson detractors. They criticize his lack of star power and at the same time criticize him for going after the stars of the division which can bring more attention to him.

Pascal vs Dawson, should be Dawsons next move, period!!!!!

exactly. his career has been stalled to say the least this last few years. He needs to fight the young guys out there. Adamek actually went on from his loss to do more than Dawson.

If he doesnt fight Pascal he should move up and fight Steve Cunningham to test the waters at cruiserweight.

I wanna see this fight next for both guys. Winner faces Cloud maybe.

First Dawson vs Hopkins would be one o the biggest snorefests ever. If they are trying to hype up Dawson, they need to match him up against fighters that will make him fight.

Second Hopkins after Ornellas will fight Roy, theres no time to wait for Dawson, he will need to fight once more, Pascal is the right candidate!!

Boring fights doesn't make it any less significant. The fight I'm looking forward to most after Cotto-Pacquiao is Santos-Foreman. It's for a title, and there are two very good fighters mixing it up for it.

And fine, do whatever until Hopkins becomes free, but... after that, he should get Hopkins while he still can.

After Hopkins beats him he would be shell shocked, and start losing to lesser fighters.

The guy with the Hopkins sig says what? Just messing... I think Hopkins would probably win too.

But those who handle Dawson obviously don't think this 45 year old can beat their boy, so...

No point in wasting his wbc mandatory status, he should fight Pascal ASAP. But you also have to take into consideration that Pascal did fight Diaconu when Dawson didn't. As a Dawson fan that disturbs me.

Idk why... Tarver is better than Diaconu... even at this point in his career. Did you see anything about Diaconu against Pascal that made you think he would have been a harder fight for Bad Chad than Tarver was?
