At Montreal (HBO): Jean Pascal vs. Chad Dawson, 12 rounds, for Pascal's WBC light heavyweight title
Could be a big win for Dawson, and could finally set up Dawson vs Hopkins.
And speaking of Roy Jones, I think he will do exactly what Clottey did against Pac. Bernard is just gonna tee off on him and it will be a lackluster fight to the fullest.
No doubt he is, but I still wonder if Hopkins would still consider fighting him if HBO wouldn't throw out such a low ball offer for him to fight Chad.
yeah, dawson isnt a good fight for bhop to look good in, dawson has spped and great movement, this means that hopkins would have to track chad down, bhop likes guys on the attack against him i.e. jones haha
it could be said that hopkins is avoiding the dawson fight then.

People are asking why Hopkins won't fight Dawson. It's because Dawson brings no money to the table. HBO only offered 3 mill for both of them to split down the middle. And then in the aftermath of that Gary Shaw was pushing harder for Danny Green to get a shot at Hopkins than his own fighter. That tells you all you need to know. I'm mad about Hopkins fighting Roy Jones in a rematch, but I'll boycott it to send my message of disapproval just like everybody else will.

Dawson is gonna gonna wreck Pascal... then people will move on to claiming "oh dawson is ducking cloud, he's scared of cloud... blah blah"
yeah, but what poeple are forgetting is that calzaghe ducked dawson and now hopkins is. Dawson beats the likes of bute, cloud,pascal, he needs bhop fight in my opinion.

he would wreck cloud too
Hopkins is avoiding Dawson because Dawson is never there to be hit. The last think Hopkins wants to do at 45 is chase someone because he's gonna look like a fool. Personally, I don't see Dawson getting anymore credit for that fight than he got for the Tarver and Johnson fights. He should focus on Cloud, Bute, and any other Super Six dropouts after this fight.
Yeah, i can see where your coming from. I think that Dawson beats Cloud, Bute both by UD. I think he needs the hopkins fight.
Pascal better not postpone this fight again because the last time I read about this HBO doesn't have anymore dates on hold for this fight. I'll believe this fight is happening when I see it.
Dawson kills two birds with one stone.
They said he ducked Diaconu because he was afraid to travel outside of the USA to Romania. Well, he's going to champion's backyard in Canada for this fight.
They said he ducked Cloud because he was afraid of younger fighters. Well, Pascal is 27, in his prime, with a much better resume than Cloud.
I can't wait for this fight.
Yes,
When dawson beats pascal, he should get the fight against hopkins for sure. I dont know why hopkins keeps avoiding dawson, maybe nor enough money but a win over pascal will help his cause
Dawson by UD...
I like pascal. he may win on volume alone if he puts on a performance like he's been recently.
Refrain from getting it, and let teh body shots fly.
This is a great fight, dawson as speed and boxing skills, pascal brings strength and power. I think dawson may take this by decision.
froch v pascal was a good fight want it
