Although he was clearly defeated he did better against Dawson the second time around too.

Green in rematches:
Delisle- KO'd him the first time and again in rematch but needed more rounds.

Beyer- DQ'd for intentional headbutts in a fight he was winning by a mile the first time, clearly outboxed the second time.

Rematches don't seem to be the path to success for Green.
Tarver's name would not be familiar to us if nobody ever gave him a rematch.
Agreed Tarver made his career on the rematch, Green has only ever rematched one of his loss's, and did loss by MD, he almost pulled it out. The first fight Green demolished Beyer and cut him to pieces. Silly move, bad advice given and a could of should of scenario.

Ive always followed his career being from Perth and really think he has done well with his skills. Tarver is just better in all departments. His movement, accurate punches and southpaw stance are just all wrong for Greeny in my opinion. Green has never dealt well with guys who could use there feet well.
I saw the Green vs Tarver fight and agree with you that Tarver would very likely win a rematch in similar fashion. At Green's age and where he is at, a rematch makes little sense.

Whether Tarver is allowed to fight again is another matter.
