And why is he holding a Light Heavyweight WORLD title for 4.75 years without leaving Germany? I was wondering who had the damn WBO belt. This guy needs to step up and fight in the US against someone we know over here. Danny Santiago is the only guy I've seen fight on his resume. Tarver knocked that bum out in 4 end of last year. Almost sounds like another Joe Calzaghe in the making at this rate...WBO title and everything.
This is unacceptable. I hate having all these world titles...once one creeps away to a foreign country (usually when it gets vacated) it's like we completely lose track of what happened to it. Hopefully the WBC belt (which Dawson had to vacate in order to fight Tarver) won't drift far and he can reclaim it.

My personal opinion is that all original 8 weight divisions should work harder towards unifications. The additions of these junior and super titles I never really approved of. Being a 3 division champ back in the day was way more significant than a lot of these guys getting 4-5 world titles now. It still bothers me even now that Oscar has 6. 50 years later some kid is going to look at that and think he must be the greatest. Oscar was a Middleweight Champion my ass...
