    I don't mind the decision as long as there is an immediate rematch. Because Dawson gets screwed at the end of this decision.

    Hopkins SHOULD NOT give Dawson a rematch, because Dawson said he wouldn't give Hopkins a rematch (post-fight interview)! I, however, would want to see a rematch.

    He deserves to get it back as the fight ended due to a non boxing move

    You can't take Dawson's word for it, he was so pissed at Hopkins for screwing him of an opportunity to beat him decisively that night. I'm assuming his mindset was the decision won't be overturned. I'm sure given the opportunity and Hopkins obliges to a rematch, he would take it.

    And it's not like Hopkins has never been through this before, remember his trilogy with Robert Allen?

    Like has already been said, Dawson would rather give up his belts (as stated by Gary Shaw) then do a rematch.

    Hopkins should target Cleverly for a unification bout in Wales, it would be HUGE.

    It would be the right decision, but if Bernard doesn't face Dawson in early 2012, he should really just vacate the title and either retire or move up, in order to let Dawson, Pascal, Cloud, Sillakh, etc. sort themselves out.

    Dawson always say that and so did Gary Shaw, he didn't want to fight Adrian Diaconu for a while but ended up fighting. Also Richard Shaffener says there won't be a rematch. But you can't take a boxer and their promoters word all the time.
