With a fight against Dawson already ordered - and with Hopkins and GoldenBoy calling for an immediate rematch.
Who is best for Pascal to fight next?

I think he loses to both guys if he is to fight them again. Sad thing is, he will probably get stripped for facing one instead of the other.

if hopkins wants a rematch i think pascal should give him one because the decision was a disgrace!

Well he;s been at Wigan, Spurs, Blackburn and everywhere else so how about Man City? :)

Seriously, I think he should rematch Hopkins or maybe shout up Froch for a rematch with him, would be a great fight again IMO

PS That would probably be a fight for next year though....for now, Hopkins 2 or Cloud?

I want one of the top boys like Pascal to fight Cloud, just to expose him.

He's contractually obliged to fight Dawson, so thats the fight that's going to happen unless he dumps the titles to fight B-hop. Either match up will more than please me to be honest, but im leaning more towards Dawson at the moment to see how he can bounce back

Delete.

Dawson nearly floored Pascal in the 11th (I think it was the 11th), just before he got stopped on cuts. Pascal, as he does in every fight I've ever seen him in, had started to gas and Dawson was really coming back into it. If it'd had gone the 12, Dawson could well have got the stoppage, or at least a couple of knockdowns to even up the cards.

So, if Dawson puts on a more active display than last time he fought Pascal, doesn't wear the 'Condom Depot' ad on his arse and starts trying to land his shots more often throughout the fight, there's a good chance Pascal might be slightly out of it at LHW, with B-Hop then stepping up to fight Dawson, who I think B-Hop would beat.

I would like to see Dawson because I wanna see how he bounces back and to see if he's as good as I though I never In my dreams would of thought pascal could of beaten him. In the fight he seemed well to relaxed. I also want to see B-Hop vs Cloud and the winners fight each other. I would pick Dawson to win overall.

Hopkins purely because Dawson is young and there is plenty of time for him to get his rematch.

I think Hopkins deserves an immediate rematch.

I personally think Bernard has been one of the unluckier fighters over the years when it comes to decisions. Theres no doubt in my mind he deserved the win against Pascal, when I re-watched his bout with Calzaghe and tried to be fair (without the patriotic hat on) I thought he had edged it and I also think he deserved to win one of the bouts with Taylor that went to SD.
