    Excitement brings the money bud. Seeing Dawson fight someone under 40 is very alluring.

      I agree in regards to haveing a poor defense, being inconsistent, and getting ****** into a brawl.

      I wouldn't say he sucks though. I don't think he'll ever be the number one guy, but he's a solid top ten fighter.

        ya shaw said they would love to fight pascal is he beats diaconu in montreal ... but trying to get the bhop fight is priority. the gate would be big in montreal so the fight makes sense, it will happen eventually no doubt

        pascal isnt all that good imo either ...

          Yeah, I think they'll try and go after Hopkins first, but tomorrow night's winner has 90-120 to fight Dawson, so we'll see what unfolds.

          Pascal is a good and exciting fighter, but he makes too many mistakes which hinder him from being better.

            Pascal is overrated. This NICCA lost to Carl Froch! :spin:

                Cause he wants Hopkins. Can you blame him?

                  Sure he wants to fight him, but they are offering them 3 millions to split. Hopkins made more than 3 million fighting Robert Allen the third time.

                    That's still the fight he wants. And plus, I haven't seen any evidence of Dawson dismissing Pascal. Shaw has openly said the winner of Pascal/Diancou is a viable next opponent.

                    Hopkins is just option number 1.

                      I love watching Pascal fight, he's exciting as hell!

                      I wouldn't mind seeing a Pascal vs Dawson fight, but I think a unification bout with Tarvoris Cloud would be a much more exciting.
