    Chad Dawson and his trainer Eddie Mustafa were in Las Vegas this weekend. Dawson is training very hard for his upcoming fight with WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal, scheduled for August 14 on HBO. When asked who he would like to fight after Pascal (assuming that he beats Pascal), Dawson said, "I am through chasing Bernard (Hopkins). I don't think that fight will every happen. I would like to fight Calzaghe too if he comes out of retirement."..................."I even fight BUTE,after i beat pascal"

    The Cloud fight has the best chance of happening if both guys can win their upcoming fights. I'm sure HBO would love to have a unification bout between two, young, undefeated fighters. I doubt Calzaghe comes out of retirement, Bute probably won't take a fight with Dawson, and Ward will be busy with the Super Six for a while. Dawson vs. Cloud has a good ring to it though. Hopefully, both guys win their upcoming bouts.

    Pascal isn't giving up the title that easy. Now so sure Dawson wins this fight.

    Dawson should coast by Pascal. He's a much better boxer. Bute would never risk his '0' on Dawson.

    Dawson Pascal id imagine will be the battle proving ground kinda fight that Dawson needs to prove to his fans he can be exciting and beat a young champion if this fight lives up Dawson who is kinda unpopular will be propelled

    if it goes this way Cloud should be his next option a green inactive young champ who he could take aprt with ease that would be two big wins in a row and put Dawson on a new level

    The problem what if Cloud loses to Johnson I actually think its very possible

    Bute probably will not move up but since Dawson is light for his weight why not have a catch at 170 or 171

    Calzaghe??? doesnt Dawson get knocked enough for beating on old guys this fight does not help him at all

    Pascal might have a few surprises in store come fight night.....
    Bute would also be a cracking fight.

    Cloud is the only guy there who will fight him, Forget about Bute who wants no parts of Dawson and Calzaghe isn't coming back.

    Dawson will beat Pascal as long as he has no mental lapses in the later rounds. Pascal is good, but he looked great against a guy with not much skill.

    Next opponent is most likely Cloud. Calzaghe would only come back if he needed the money which I highly doubt will happen. Bute won't risk it.

    Dawson actually said in an interview that he would move up to fight Adamek tomorrow if Adamek said he wanted to fight him.
