Who do you want to see Dawson fight after the match against Pascal? Bute would be the only other acceptable opponent to me. But that's only because Cloud didn't beat Johnson that decisiviely. The Lightheavyweight division is dead outside of Cloud and Dawson so the fight is a no brainer. If Dawson can really beat him, he still needs to prove it. I don't care what happened the other night.
      Hopkins is still there as far as name recognition.

      Also Chris Henry a fight against Cloud would be a hell of a fight.

      The winner of the Karo Murat-Nathan Cleverly fight in September could be a true contender.

      Also Gabriel Campllo and Shumenov in the weight-class. Really the weight-class is not completely dead. It might not have a lot of good names but it has interesting match ups.

        I agree, Pascal is better than Cloud I think Dawson beats both but I'd still want to see both fights.

          I can Pascal getting the better out of Cloud in exchanges but not against Dawson because handspeed wise, there's no one faster than Dawson at 168-175. He'd get off first all the time.
          Yeah and Pascal has been hit and hurt despite having a considerable advantage in speed and reflexes. He slows down too late in fights.

          Cloud is faster than Diaconu and Froch, he'd get to Pascal eventually IMO.

            As an unbias source I agree with this statement.

              Let's just put it like this. Glen Johnson is a way better fighter than Diacanu and Froch is. The only reason Johnson looked so bad in the Dawson rematch is because Dawson didn't take any risks and played it safe. I know it may sound biased, but I think it's the truth.

                Both suck. Dawson shouldn't break a sweat. Now will it be entertaining?

                  Lol. Dawson better not struggle or else he aint getting the decision. He isn't no cash cow for HBO like Devon Alexander is and the fight is in Canada. And speaking of Alexander, he looked ten times like a bum than Cloud did. If Dawson matches that performance, what you are saying is exactly right. Lol.

                    Bad comparison. Alexander didn't struggle a little. He lost.

                      I agree.

                      Tavoris is a powerful puncher, but otherwise he has limitations. Dawson's defense would be impregnable for him.

                      Pascal has a better chance of catching Chad with some good shots.
