    Glen Johnson is the most logical fight at loght heavy but I don't think Dawson fancies it at all. At best he'd be in an unexciting win again and it'd be a close fight (I thought Johnson won the first fight.) So I think he'll go to 168 if there's a title fight for him and he can handle the weight loss.

    The Diaconu-Pascal winner is the fight that makes most sense to me. Unification is the best thing he can do, and financially and in terms of difficulty of negotiation with the other two champions, I see this fight being the easiest to make. I imagine Diaconu will pull out a decision against Pascal.

    The Alternative is maybe Roy Jones Jr. While a faded force, it is a big name for the record.

    There is nothing to gain in a Johnson rematch for me. Dawson has the win on his record, and I think the risk-reward ratio will steer him in another direction.

    I would like to see him fight Dirrell, RJJ, Hopkins, or Kessler. Any one of them and I would be satisfied. I am already satisfied, but I would like to see how he matches up.

    No such thing as no one to fight, plenty of quality opp from 168-200lbs for him

    i say the Johnson rematch, then hell might as well take advantage of Froch's buzz right now and take him on, if he stays at 168, he can go after Ward/Miranda winner, Kessler, Dirrell, Taylor, even call out Pavlik or Abraham, at 175 he still has B-Hop,or can follow up to Cruiser and go after Cunningham, plenty of options really

    Mack is concentrating on his upcoming fight against Abron. Mack Dawson would be a good fight on HBO. I like Mack's chances! If Dawson fights Johnson. A good co main would be Mack vs Tarver, Sean George Roy jones or Cloud.

    He should stay away from Dirrell. Andre was owning him in a sparring match. I would also not fight Johnson again. Johnson is a guy you fight simply because you need too, there's no value in beating him a second time. He won't get you ticket sales, he won't boost you on to the next guy- he's just there.

    I would start calling out Hopkins even though there's no way Bernard will fight him. Maybe also call out Jermain Taylor for a 170 throwdown.
    Oops

    Dawson isn't impressive as of right now! He may be young and i'll give him time but Calzaghe would eat him alive right now. Tarver is a class A scrub and Dawson should have dominated him and he didn't. Dawson won't be a superstar if something doesn't change. He's got the tools and all just not the mentality, he doesn't have that killer "im gonna hurt you" vibe going and I see his career turning out like Jermain Taylor's in the near future. I'm sure some of you disagree but thats just how I feel about him. As far as him and Hopkins go, I think Hopkins could wait till he's fifty and still totaly out class him if things stay like they are. Once again he's got the tools I just want to see an aggressive side to him in the ring and I havn't seen it yet!
