    Pascal was talking about a rematch... Come on!!! We've already seen two already, you got dominated the 2nd half of the first fight, and almost the entirety of the 2nd bout... Seriously... You think anybody would be interested in watching a third?

    I wouldn't... We've seen the extent of what Pascal has to offer, and we've seen that Hopkins can handle it. Pascal would still have the puncher's chance, but anyhow, I wouldn't buy it... Would you?

    Any ideas on what should Pascal do next?

    Tavoris Cloud or Beibut Shumenov.

    Man, I never really appreciated B-Hop. But after the Pavlik fan he has really won me over. He is amazing.
    I think Pascal should fight Bute after Bute looses til Bernard :)
    Maybe a Froch Rematch. Don“t think it would be a good idea to fight Dawson right now. But I guess Dawson is fighting Bernard anyways.
    I guess he should fight the looser of Johnson vs Froch.

    I doubt Hopkins would be interested in rubbermatch. He has nothing to prove here - he lost the first match only to judges, not to Pascal, and in rematch he won with Pascal and the referee at the same time.

    Unless he wants to show he can fight Pascal, referee and judges at the same time, there is no challenge here. Yes, I know there was no challenge in RJJ rematch either, but at least it was a rematch of a fight B-Hop lost fair and square, and GBP found someone stupid enough to pay Hopkins something like 3.5 mln $$$.

    Pascal is like they are at 1-1 so he deserves a decider when he's lucky he's not 0-2. But I like the kid, put him in with Chad, Cleverly, Cloud, Shumenov and he'll put on an exciting fight and probably gets a title.

    Hopkins on the other hand should move on and let Pascal and Chad fight it out while he takes on Bute.

    Right on point. Pascal got nothing else. Cleverly is to green. Bute isn't going up to 175 with Kessler,Dirrell,Pavlik and the winner of the S6 soon to be available. Hopkins already beat him twice... or almost twice. Diaconu is done. I think he might retire. Dawson is probably gonna fight Hopkins, this might be his only chance for a big fight in the near future. If and it's a big IF.. Dawson beats Hopkins and goes to revenge his lost to Pascal. Nobody from top5 at such an exciting division as 168 will go up to 175 for at least the next 2 fights.

    It's a more fan friendly fight than watching Hopkins vs Dawson. I don't want to see Hopkins vs Dawson on PPV.

    Hopkins vs Pascal would be a PPV worthy fight.

    I'd like to see Pascal versus Cloud, I think Cloud ****s him up, I'd also like to see Pascal versus Glen Johnson, I think Johnson's style would be hell for Pascal and I'm not sure he wouldn't overwhelm him with pressure and stop him.

    I'd really like to see Pascal-Cloud. Steward sounded really excited about possibly having Hopkins-Dawson in Montreal, and I would love to see a card there featuring these two fights.

    In two years Pascal may pull it off. It was a though fight for both and full of action and drama. The twelfth round scared the **** out of me.

    It should be Tavoris Cloud and they had already negociated with Cloud's people in the past. Pascal beats him and regains a title to get right back in the mix.
