Wait a min...B-Hop's supposed to wait til 2010?

Bump Adamek is fighting soon. I don't see when/how Bernard is gonna fight. Unless he goes after Froch or a no name...

It's Hopkins' own fault, he could have fought Adamek this year had he not lowballed him.

Hopkins is supposedly the draw, but the two Adamek fights I went to had 22k and 13k live gate, mostly Polish people. Adamek is swinging huge cache in NY and Chicago. Hopkins couldn't pull a live gate like him if his life depended on it. To be fair jreckoning, that 22K crowd had someone else as the main event. He was from your hometown and rung Bowe's nutsack 20 times.

If Bhop don't fight again before yrs end, he ain't fightin again at all.

I dont think he has a shot against Dawson, and it's the main reason why he won't fight him. He won't fight him because he doesn't put a stamp on his victories and he brings absolutely no money to the table. What makes people think Dawson can beat Hopkins? I just don't see it. Chad has got too many flaws that B-Hop would exploit. For one thing, even though Chad has good speed he isn't consistent with his offense on top of his lack of power. He wouldn't have the artillery to get any respect from Bernard. Hopkins would clip him continuously with sneaky right hands and rough him up on the inside with dirty tactics. Straight right hands are what Dawson is terrible at defending against as shown against Johnson who doesn't possess the skill set of Bernard. Chad doesn't strike me as mentally strong enough to handle that and it would be a TKO victory for Hopkins or a wide UD.

Hopkins didn't turn down the fight, adamek did. Adamek didn't like hopkins offer of somewhere between $500,000 to $1 million. Regardless of who turned down who both of these guys need each other for a big-money fight. Hops is my dude but I just think that he's shooting for the stars when it comes to the monetary demand of not just this fight, but other fights out there as well.

People need to get off B-Hop's back for not fighting Dawson. I am baffled however why he turned a fight down with Adamek because that would have been the most lucrative fight for him out there if you look at all his options. If the guy wants to retire then I support that, but a selfish part of me wants to see him fight Carl Froch or Paul Williams. I may be in the minority, but I view Williams as a tougher challenge for Hopkins than Adamek, Froch, and Dawson. He brings all the tools to the table to give Bernard a tough fight, but I think Hopkins would still use his craftiness to pull out the victory. I am one of the few that views it that way, and the funny thing is Hopkins wouldn't even get any credit for beating him because people would come up with the size excuse.

I thought Froch started half steppin as soon as Bhop started paying attention to him? Bhop should fight this year if he is going to fight.

Bernard doesn't smoke...:smashfrea "maybe he can fight Valuev" I wouldn't jump up 30 or so pounds to fight Andre The Giant at this age. Yeah it'd be historical but Valuev is nothin spectacular... Hop doesn't have to come in at 200 per se he could be at 185 and still decision him

b-hop use to give out bj's in prison in exchange for cigarettes. true story. Bernard doesn't smoke...:smashfrea "maybe he can fight Valuev" I wouldn't jump up 30 or so pounds to fight Andre The Giant at this age. Yeah it'd be historical but Valuev is nothin spectacular...
