        Hopkins is 43 years old, (turning 44 in January) he hasn't fought someone who would expose him yet. Hopkins in his prime (1995-2004) was a monster, his fights against Antwun Echols and Tito Trinidad proved that. But what people don't realize is that his "physical" skills have declined sharply since 2005.

        In 2005 he fought an ugly fight against Howard Eastman and later that year he would lose to Jermain Taylor twice. To say that Hopkins can beat any good young fighter is far-fetched. Pavlik has obvious weakness that was easily to exploit, I mean a 43 year old Hopkins is faster than Pavlik. I say he would lose to Kessler, Dawson, Lucian Bute, Glen Johnson, and even Arthur Abraham.

          Dawson would not get schooled by Hopkins
          Hopkins has trouble with speedy fighters and Dawson is one of the fastest fighters in the sport..

          Dawson would outpoint Hopkins like Taylor did..

            I'm not sure who else would beat him besides from Taylor and Calzaghe, who have both beaten him, I'm not even sure if those 2 would beat him if they fought again.
