Dawson/Tarver II....Much Anticipated??

Last week I was flipping channels and came across the commercial for saturday nights rematch between IBF Light Heavyweight champion "Bad" Chad Dawson and Antonio Tarver. The commercial referred to the fight as "Much Anticipated". Who was anticipating this fight? Other than maybe Antonio Tarver? Not me that's for sure. But still, I will watch any fight and find a way to enjoy it. I was interested in seeing their first fight when it was announced. Tarver was nearing the end of his career but I figured it would be a good test to see how Dawson handles a good southpaw boxer like himself. He passed the test pounding out a good workman like decision without taking any damage like his previous fight against tough veteran Glen Johnson. Now there was no drama or controversy in that first fight to warrant a rematch in my mind. Dawson beat Tarver....and beat him clearly. It wasnt' even entertaining enough to want to see them do it again. But, saturday night they did it again, and Dawson, as expected, beat him again much like the first fight. Tarver may have been a little more aggressive but showed none of the pop to his punches that he had in the second and third fight with Roy Jones Jr., he wasn't a threat at all.
Chad Dawson is the star in the Light Heavyweight division but needs some big fights now to really get his name out there. He does have a good win over current Cruiserweight kingpin Tomasz Adamek, a win over Glen Johnson and now two over Tarver but those haven't really done much to bring him the recognition he is seeking. He's been trying to get a shot at now retired Joe Calzaghe, so that fight looks very unlikely. His only other chance at a big fight in this current division is one against Bernard Hopkins which could be likely somewhere in the near future as Bernard nevers seems to duck a challenge. Other than that he may need to move up to Cruiserweight and seek a rematch with Adamek or hope that some Middle and Super Middleweight stars move up like a Carl Froch, or Mikkel Kessler, or Arthur Abraham. I believe Chad Dawson is a very talented fighter with great potential....he is just stuck right now in a division lacking the big opponents he needs to really showcase himself.
