If Chad Dawson gets by Glen Johnson, where would he go from there?

Chad should go the "championship" route. In other words, clean up belts and make yourself a target. He can beat the other title holders at 175, so he should try and unify. Own the division, because nobody is going to want to fight him. He does not bring large sums of money and he's dangerous for anyone. He needs to make himself unavoidable.

Is that rematch going to happen? I hope so the first fight was great. Yes,in december. Pascal needs to beat Branco this month but that shouldn't be so hard. Diaconu might get a really easy toon-up in the meantime this month or the next but they will fight this year in december. They have a contract that says the rematch must be this year.

call me crazy... and i know weight might be a factor, but im still wanting a Dawson v Adamek rematch... that one was close and i think if Adamek wasn't strugglin with weight, he would have taken him! He dominated Adamek before being knocked down but sure why not have them fight at Cruiserweight in the future

fight bhop 1st while pascal and cloud make a name for themselves and then go for them.

Erdei-Brahmer winner,Pascal-Diaconu II winner,Mack,Cloud. He has options but I don't think he''ll go down to 168.

If Hopkins moves up and fight Adamek or goes inactive I hope they make the rematch between Johnson and Dawson for the Ring title. But if Dawson becomes the champion I want him to keep acting like one and fight everybody out there that poses a threat.

Hopkins isn't interested in Dawson. God knows why? I hear Kessler wants appreciation from the west. Go up to 175 and lets make this dance happen.

When Chad Dawson beats Johnson he should try to get a fight with Hopkins. If he cant he should drop down to 168 if he's able to because there are alot of good fights there.. Tavoris Cloud is an option but right now he really doesn't have a big name.. If he can really establish himself at light heavy then him vs Dawson would be a big fight between 2 undefeated light heavyweights in their prime. I think right now Cloud is too green for Dawson and not ready yet. Why should Dawson move down to 168 when the tournament is going on? He should only do that if he gets an offer or somebody gets injured or flat out knocked out of the tournament. Cloud and Pascal are options for him. Pascal is probably a bigger money fight because of the way Canadians support boxing, but he isn't as good as Cloud.

He should fight Hopkins to see who's the best in the division. definitely.

Hopkins is the obvious suggestion. But Pascal and Cloud are worthy challengers, though personally i don't think they are ready for Dawson yet. He could either go up to Cruiserweight but there's nothing much going on there. Or if he can make 168 then he could fight the Super 6 winner.

There are a few options for him actually theres Diaconu, Pascal, Cloud. Erdei will never fight him, I think the one most want to see is Dawson v Hopkins but theres the winner of the super 6 next year. He actually has a few options open.

Hopkins, Pascal or Cloud.

Chad will beat Johnson, then Hopkins, then go on a stretch of fighting bums. There is no way in hell I see him going back to 168lbs because I don't think he wants to face constant competition. For every 4 fights, he'll face 1 that's really competitive. PBF all over again.

Someone under age 30, Cloud or Pascal. He must have a mandatory defense at this point Id assume.

Hopkins makes the most sense. I give Chad good odds of beating Hopkins, TBH. His speed would give Hop a lot of trouble ala Taylor and Calzaghe. Of course, Chad is a tad chinny so anything could happen.

Lets just say Cloud is a year or two away from a fight with Dawson. Where would Dawson go if he beats Johnson? He's already beaten Tarver/Johnson/Adamek at 175. Does he have a future at cruiserweight or maybe even at heavyweight in a few years? IF he gets by Johnson (my opinion he won't) either B-Hop or Cloud....any other fight = no respect.

So just because he beat Tarver more impressively he's more exciting? lol The fight might turn into a Borefest thanks to Borenard but hey, I'm a boxing fan and its nice to see who runs the division. I like to see the best fighting the best. I had to yank your chain with that one because I know how much you hate B-Hop. The TS of this thread hasn't accused Hopkins of running away from Dawson and most Chad fans don't claim that (the ones who don't deserve credit for it), it's just the biased ones that accuse Hopkins of avoiding Dawson. But if Hopkins gets accused of ducking Dawson, then Chad should be held to the same standards when it comes to Cloud if the fight doesn't happen down the line.

He should fight Hopkins to see who's the best in the division. I wouldn't mind seeing that fight either, but do you honestly think it will be exciting? Of course it will be Bernard's fault if it turns out to be an ugly clinch fest. I still view Hopkins as a more exciting fighter than Dawson though, because he beat Tarver a lot more impressively in one fight.
