Originally posted by 2501 View Posthe was contractually obligated to rematch Tarver. Everyone was crying for a Dawson rematch. When it comes to Chad, its damn if you do, damn if you dont.
Originally posted by Xcusemymood View PostRematch clause. Pretty simple to see. Plus HBO sanctioned the rematch for like 3 or 4 million? What do you expect? Write a letter to the ethics committee for gods sake.
Originally posted by tehMatrix View Postyour obviously a clueless ****** just spouting a bunch of ******ed **** from your ******ed perspective, everything is against the europeans, everyone is against the europeans? shut the **** up, im european
it has more to do that no one is claiming chad dawson as an ATG and no one is claiming his best win is against a 40 year old, chad has already accomplished more than calzaghe in fact, he's fought adamek, which is twice the fighter kessler ever was and has achieved more already
he had to rematch tarver, it was in the contract, he did'nt want to fight johnson again but ******s like you who cant score a fight made it happen
atleast he rematched the 40 year old and won clearly, calzaghe just got by with a SD and never reedemed himself, dawson gave johnson a rematch after a UD, jones gave tarver a rematch after a MD
but Mr. im gonna face the number 1 lightheavyweight and barely squeeze out a win then fight someone not even ranked in the top 10 to retire on.
and dawson wants hopkins because he's for some reason ranked above him
As mentioned on here already its about Money and Marketing. Like most instances, the majority of the boxing public can be fooled into think a Tarver-Dawson fight means something just like Floyd-De La Hoya.
Now doing it for a payday, okay. Doing it for a couple years, dropping belts and avoiding mandatories, while perhaps a smart business decision, shows he isn't as hungry as alot of true fans are hoping for when looking at a talented young champ.
Until he fight Cloud, Pascal/Diaconu he doesn't top 175 and people shouldn't be shocked at criticism.
