In a recent "Twitterview" with Chad Dawson. I asked him who he picked to win the Miguel Cotto vs Manny Pacquaio fight. Well like the smart man that he is he picked Miguel Cotto. "No doubt Cotto will knock Pacquiao out, or atleast dominate him. Cotto will be too heavy come fight night and work the body nice" is what Dawson had to say about what will happen come Nov. 14th. I also asked him about how he felt about Glen Johnson's comments about him in his recent interview with www.fighthype.com. His responses was "If my fight with Adamek did not impress him. I don't know what will. I plan on going in there and showing all my wins were no fluke". Well Mr. Dawson the boxing world is well aware that none of your fights were flukes.
Glen Johnson has one more shot at a payday and at ever being a considerable contender for up and coming boxers of today. In my opinion and many other boxing fans, we all think it is a waste of time for Dawson to even entertain another fight with any one who he already beat. Maybe he should start doing what Floyd does to people. Not putting a rematch clause in the contract. Its a shame that a man with his talent has to waste it on fighters who have no chance of beating him any way. Hopefully if all goes well he will get a chance to get his wish and fight the winner of the Hopkins vs Jones fight. That is a fight fans want to see. New school vs Old school. Its a shame that so many fighters, young fighters, have to deal with the disappointment of the boxing business. And people wonder why when these fighters do get there time to shine and become big stars they ask for big money. Its because we as boxing fans did not take care of them, or give them the credit the deserve when they were in the trenches trying to entertain us.
Fighters don't last for ever. We should appreciate what they do for us while they are here, and not take them for granted.
Thanks for reading. Remember where you heard it first.
