1. Chad Dawson: Fight is confimed for October already. Good bout.
2. Tavoris Cloud. Close Match. Uprising youngster like Jean Pascal. IBF Light Heavyweight belt.
3. Edison Miranda, Sakio Bika, Jeff Lacy, ect. If he wants Lucian Bute Top 1-3 fighter of super middleweight witch is very hard for him already. 50/50 chance for Lucian Bute to win
4. Lucian Bute or Andre ward. I prefer Ward because he fights more like Hopkins. Bute is too fast. Either is ok. But hard.
Afterwords, easy fights. Early Fiftys Retirement ( Age 50-51 )
Big fan of B-Hop, he is a one of the greats
BUT...he is not going to get past Dawson, SORRY!
People hate Dawson style and think he is Boring...but that doesn't mean that he is not a good fighter...he is a damn good fighter
I think Dawson makes him look his age just like he made Glen Johnson look his age in their last fight, people was bashing him for fighting old fighters like Glen Johnson, but looking back, that wasn't a bad win at all because Glen Johnson has shown that he is still a very tough fighter to deal with even at 42
I just think Dawson style gives Hopkins MAJOR PROBLEMS, he won't be able to do what he wants to do again Dawson, he will too fans, too quick and too SKILLED to fall for Hopkins tricks
Dawson by UD, but Hopkins makes it extremely tough for him
Next 4 fights:
Dawson-Confirmed. I got Bhop winning this fight.
Cloud-If Pascal loses. This will be a toss up fight imo.
Ward/Bute-Depends. If Ward beats Bute, this will be a toss up. If Bute defeats Ward, Bute has the edge. I think it will most likely be Ward.
Martinez-At a catchweight and for all the marbles :).
Retirement after.
and then skate out on top...Chad's lesson is long over due...and whoever is the last man standing after they finish arguing at '68 can come up and get a lesson as well
Dawson will beat Hopkins into retirement, and you know that.
and then skate out on top...Chad's lesson is long over due...and whoever is the last man standing after they finish arguing at '68 can come up and get a lesson as well
this right here^^^^^^^^^
i was so sick of fools saying that bhop is scared of chad
why would he fight jeff lacy? lacy might be a good win if you have a crap resume but he doesn't need to fight that bum.
Not really, just a super middleweight tune up before hitting the title.
Cunningham?!?....and what part does Naz supposed to play in that one?!? :nonono:
People have suggested Jeff Lacy and you would rather use a post questioning a possible fight for the cruiserweight title as a finale for Hopkins? ok.......
Dawson and then the winner of Ward/Froch-Bute
and then skate out on top...Chad's lesson is long over due...and whoever is the last man standing after they finish arguing at '68 can come up and get a lesson as well
Yeah idk Mack was boxing well but has no chin apparently...and is pretty sloppy at times...
Cloud aint bad but Bernard's defensive while Cloud is more pressure style of fighting and doesn't possess the skill of B-Hop...
Who the hell does? lol
Anyway, I like Cloud and want to see that fight next. It's interesting stylistically and if Cloud fights Pascal and wins, he definetley deserves it. Bute would be good too, but I hope B-Hop retires soon and goes out on top.
1 - Dawson, duh.
2a.1 - Tavoris Cloud, if he beats Pascal.
2a.2 - Glen Johnson.
3a - #1 168 fighter which could be Bute/Ward/Froch/Martinez.
4a.1 - Vitali or Haye - but not Wlad.
4a.2 - Steve Cunningham if he's the top Cruiserweight and Wlad is the top heavyweight
-----
2b - Tomasz Adamek, if he beats Vitali.
3b.1 - David Haye, if he beats Wlad.
3b.2 - Rematch Adamek in Poland if the first fight was close enough.
3b.3 - Chris Arreola, if he's still in shape.
4b - Call me crazy, but what about a final fight vs George Foreman if he does a Heavyweight run instead of facing 168 pounders?
Yeah idk Mack was boxing well but has no chin apparently...and is pretty sloppy at times...
Cloud aint bad but Bernard's defensive while Cloud is more pressure style of fighting and doesn't possess the skill of B-Hop...
I hope he doesn't fight more than 2 more times, period...
exactly Ex....Chad and then Bute or the s6 winner and call it a day..NOTHING left for him to prove imo
on a side note....dudes from my city who know Mack personally were on facebook going in on him after he got KO'd by Cloud....they were saying that he needs to stop having sex before his fights and sh!t like that :lol1:....and ALOT were saying Cloud reminded them of a young raw B.Hop with better power....dudes were saying B.Hop should snatch him from DK and make him a GBP fighter....ppl think Cloud got next...I wanted to see Cloud-Dawson but Chad didnt want it lol
I don't understand why he would need a win over Miranda or Bika to get a fight with Bute when it already almost happened before he beat Pascal twice.
1. Dawson
2. Cloud hopefully he beats Pascal to make this bigger especially in canada
3. Andre Ward vs Carl Froch winner
4. I wouldn't mind him going up for one final fight to try and take a CW strap
1. Chad Dawson: Fight is confimed for October already. Good bout.

Why would he face a bunch of washed up, shot 168 fighters
plus is there a possibly more ugly fight then Hopkins-Bika?
Things change so much, it's impossible to predict what his next four fights should be. Though the top 4 fighters I currently want him to face would be
1.Dawson
2.Froch-Ward winner
3.Cloud
4.Bute
