Id love to see him fight Hopkins it would be facinating to see how there styles play out and it would prolly be the most competitve fight.
i would like it to be bute, joe should stay at super middle a while longer, hate to see the titles splintered again so soon after unifying.
He don't need the trouble from Bute or Dawson. Little reward. He's beaten the young guys in Lacy and Kessler. Pavlik is where it is at. Hopkins will make for a boring fight, he'll want it in USA, want alot of $$$ etc Pavlik will come to fight and he'll actually make the fight by signing the contract.
I voted Dawson because imho, only Dawson could make it an exiting + either way fight. I think B-hop has a chance but I think it wouldn't be as exiting as a JC v Dawson fight. Bute and Pavlick would have little chane imo.
Bernard Hopkins (to become 175 RING Champ and beat an ATG), Lucian Bute (to get back the IBF), or Kelly Pavlik
Those are all good choices but I guess Hopkins since the others are young & they can wait in line. Joe deserves a big money payday that he would surely get vs. Hopkins & that name on his resumé would cement his legacy whether he wins or loses.
