Making Dawson - Hopkins II would be like making a sequel to 'Ishtar'

I asked folks on Twitter last night who they wanted to see Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson fight next. Not to surprisingly, I heard nary a peep about a rematch. Bottom line, no matter how the California commission or the WBC rule on this matter, making Dawson-Hopkins II would be like making a sequel to ’Ishtar’ (or anything other really bad movie).

But how the WBC handles this is important, because that title is something that is coveted by the likes of Jean Pascal (who I’m told wants a title fight as soon as possible). Just my opinion but whoever has this green strap might have the inside track on getting that fight. But don’t expect Pascal to leave Canada. The bottom line is they will fight in the States if- and that’s the key word, ’if’- a comparable offer and package is available in America, they will fight there. In other words, whether he faces Hopkins, Pascal or Tavoris Cloud, next, it will be in the ’Great White North.’

But please, no Hopkins-Dawson II, under any circumstance.
