What should be Dawson's next move if he defeats Ward?

[El Angel]

"im too small" - sergio " no balls " martinez

You actually want to watch Martinez-Dawson at 175? You're serious?

[BattlingNelson]

How do you think he'd do against the two?

If he beats Ward, which I don't think will happen, he should be favoured against both. Of course it would be more difficult if he had to travel to Nottingham or Copenhagen, but he'd still be the favourite.

[BuckToothed]

Stay at 168 (presuming he looks healthy) and fight Carl Froch or Ward rematch?

Or return to 175 and take on the winner of Pascal/Cloud AND force Ward to come to 175 for a rematch?

the latter, hopefully...

[SUPREME.]

Ill take Cloud over Dawson.

After his loss to Campillo?

Spooky.

[savorduhflavor]

Go back to 175 and fight the Cloud-Pascal winner. With a win over one of them he'd essentially be undisputed in my eyes. Only Campillo would be left unless you view Shumenov or Cleverly as a threat which I do not.

This time next year all the big names at 168 will be at 175 so it's stupid for him to stay at 168.

[11player]

Cloud vs Pascal winner
or
Shumenov vs Cleverly winner

[Bushbaby]

Obviously fight the winner of Pascal/Cloud.

if he beats Ward, then you can be sure most guys at 168 will probably not fancy fighting him as he doesnt bring much to the table other then a possible loss to your record, he's like Bradley, skilled with no fans....all risk and no reward. Other then Froch who might fancy his chances I dont know who will really fancy fighting the naturally bigger man who has just beaten the number one 168 lb champ.

I dont see him beating Ward though

All of the above. If he beats Ward, by definition he's healthy at 168.

Fight Froch or any other big name at 168. Might as well. He's already there. If Jr beats Serge (yes, I know it's a big "if"), he might be feelin' strong enough.

Then go back to 175 and do what needs doing. If Ward has been winning while all this has been going on, have the rematch at 175.

Ward's mental toughness is gonna' make all of this a moot point though.

[Pessimistic]

How long has it been since Dawson fought at 168 anyway?
