    Who do you think his next logical opponent should be? Hopkins? Jones? Rematch with Johnson? Really isnt a long list of fighters he could face, he shouldnt remain inactive for too long, he's the type of fighter who I think needs to stay busy to keep improving.

    Rematch is obvious. Johnson won in many people's minds so Dawson has to rematch Johnson.

    Joe hasn't said that he didnt want Dawson btw. Joe is now a LHW so this fight is one of the 2-3 best possibilities for Joe. It is not a super fight, but also Joe doesnt have a lot of options at 175. It is pretty empty there.

    Kessler is ****ing stupid for turning down that fight. Not because I believe he'll win but because he doesn't really have any other options open to him to re-energise himself in American viewers eyes.

    Joe doesn't want Dawson because that fight won't make him any money and if he wins, "Dawson was unproven". At this stage in his career, that's a valid enough reason in most peoples eyes.

    Kessler has no excuse, what so ever, for not taking the fight

    But Dawson has no excuse, what so ever, for not giving Johnson a rematch considering that was a very questionable decision.
