wbc boss jose sulaiman has ordered a rematch between jean pascal and bernard hopkins after there controversial draw, the winner will automatically give a shot at the title to chad dawson. Both sets of promoters have 30 days to strike a deal or its purse bids all the way.
Wouldn't b to bad a situation for Dawson get a decent fight for his first with manny Stewart then take on the winner and I'd back him to beat either of them.
Hopkins knows he just has to get the title and then he's out of there. If he gets sued for not fighting Dawson and breaching contract, he might not sign but he might just see the reward to great to not accept. There should be no reason why Dawson shouldn't have to wait either. They all know that if Dawson gets the fight, Pascal loses the belt and Hopkins is left out in the cold. Whoever waits should fight Tavoris Cloud and then unify, there is simply no reason that fight shouldn't take place and would do wonders for Hopkins' legacy, it will seriously promote him in the p4p rankings of all time.
only fair, as hopkins is the wrong age to be kept waiting, after all he's done in boxing, thats a good judgement.
