Bernard Hopkins said on Twitter tonight that his rumored light heavyweight world championship fight with Chad Dawson is set for October 15 on HBO.
How does Hopkins do everything better? I've been watching Hopkins for the last 5 years, many of his fights have been sloppy. His fight against Wright and Calzaghe was a joke, he looked dull and boring against RJJ and that one journeymen. Even his fights against Pascal, he was mostly clinching and countering, but not at a high work-rate.
In the last three years Dawson has looked better than Hopkins that's for sure. In the end I think Dawson is too slick, too young, and too skilled for Hopkins.
So iyo, dawson looked better vs pascal and tarver than bhop did?
Can't wait for this fight. Chad finally getting the fight he's wanted for the past few years. Look for him to show up big in this fight. Bhop will consider retirement after Chad wins. Where are you at SekondzOut!!??
Chad didnt deserve this fight then. I love how yall dawson fans think he'll just turn it on vs bhop (which no one ever does), and you forget his l, AND yall forget 3 inch armed diaconu pasting chad in his grill.
Great news.
Full clarity at 175.
The two best.
Not true at all. I love how dawson fans love towrite off his loss.
Anyway, lol at fools on here who thought bhop was ducking chad in the past. Its an utterly preposterous viewpoint. You know who you faygets are.
It's hard to beat your opponent when everything you do, your opponent does better. Good bye Chad.

B-Hop overstaying his welcome. He got hit quite a bit in his last two fights. I think this is the typical "Bernard does enough to lose the fight but also enough to complain about the outcome". I think Chad has enough to close the gap in the experience department. Close but exciting fight.

bhaha..back to school Bad Chad..back to school
I think this fight will be a white-wash, there is nothing in Hopkins arsenal that will pose any threat to Dawson. Dawson is faster, bigger, and the better boxer.
I remember when Dawson fought Glen Johnson the first time, he looked bad and rusty, despite that he still won. The next fight against Antonio Tarver, he looked like his old self and dominated.
This is what's going to happen to Hopkins, Hopkins will look like Tarver against Dawson.
