"Tavoris Cloud is just nothing. Does he really want to fight Chad next? ... I think Chad will win [against Jean Pascal]. I expect him to win. And I would like to fight Lucian Bute next." --Gary Shaw on where he wants to go next with Chad Dawson. Dawson faces Jean Pascal this Saturday for the vacant Ring Magazine world light heavyweight championship. (Lem Satterfield) (Photo by Dwight McCann)

"Come on, dog! Bute would knock Bernard Hopkins out. I have been telling y'all for years Hopkins is a fraud. He went from calling out David Haye, a heavyweight, to calling out Bute, who is a super middleweight. He saw something in Bute and wanted that fight. After last night, he may be asking for a Pavlik rematch. He's not going to want anything to do with Bute. Bernard Hopkins is a cross dresser." --James Toney, who also discusses the Klitschkos again, as well as Johnathon Banks with Percy Crawford of FightHype.com. (Photo by Al Bello / Getty Images)
