Was the rematch clause an immediate rematch or can Dawson fight someone else and then fight Tarver? If so, who should be Dawson's next opponent?
Hopkins wants nothing to do with Dawson. Adrian Diaconu is fighting Silvio Branco and assuming he wins and Glen Johnson beats Judah, Glen Johnson will fight Adrian Diaconu. Leaving Zsolt Erdei, Clinton Woods, and Hugo Garay as possibilities.
It wouldn't be a smart move for Kessler to step up to Dawson at the moment, if he is the real deal, which with his recent choice in opponents is beginning to not look like the case, he should clean out his division. The problem for Kessler is that the most exciting fighters are already spoken for: Froch is fighting Taylor and Bute is fighting Zuniga. Leaving Sakio Bika and Karoly Balzsay and Allan Green. I would argue that he should take a tune-up and fight the Taylor/Froch winner, but he already recently fought two tune-ups. He could fight Allan Green on Showtime if Bika or Balzsay aren't available...
