Bernard Hopkins Needs To Fight Chad Dawson or Retire

[OctoberRed]

Slap in the face???????

How is this writer gonna critisize Bernard Hopkins of all people. A guy who has fought nothing but Top 10 P4P fighters in the last few years.

I think he meant a light heavy other than Dawson.

I agree. If not Calzaghe or Dawson, who exactly should Bernard fight?

That garbage of a H.W Valuev would probably be well worth it

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Hopkins shpuld move to heaviweight and kick the **** out of Valuev!!!!!! Dawson deserves the fight, but he wont bring anything for Hopkins, not even money. So B-Hop should fight Valuev and become a HW champ!!!! That make some sense for me!!!!!

I've already explained my reasons as to why I think Hopkins should not fight Dawson. And I never said Taylor 'deserves' a shot at Hopkins. The reason I would like Hopkins fight Taylor is because Hopkins has two "losses" against Taylor. So it would be nice to see Hopkins finishing his career against a guy that apparently beat him twice.

And I never said Hopkins would KO Taylor. I said he should KO him. As a B-Hop fan I would love to see this happen, I never said it would happen.

Please read posts carefully in the future. I hope this has cleared up some of your bewilderment.

The only thing you've cleared up for me is my opinion that you are scared Hopkins would lose to Dawson.

And didn't Hopkins beat up on a pretty old Tarver as well? Isn't that his only claim to fame at LHW?

Hopkins is too old and too accomplished as a fighte to be going around cleaning out the light-heavyweight division against all the top contenders and up and coming title holders.

As far as Tarver, he was The Man at that time, THE light-heavyweight champ and he was 2 years younger then the version that Dawson beat this year.

Stop the nonsense.

Why does everyone say Valuev, why not Chagaev?

I find it funny how Mark Vester says that "No more hand picking easy opponnets coming up in weight", but yet Hopkins was the underdog in every fight starting from Tarver.

I do agree however, that Hopkins should give Dawson his shot. Not saying that Hopkins HAS to fight him, but it sure makes more sense then a move up in weight.

Is BHOP considered a P4P great still? He got beaten by Taylor twice, then my man Joe beat him at his own game!!!! PAC is #1 but didn't JMM make him look average earlier this year?
P4P Top 5.

1. Joe Calzaghe
2. Juan Manuel Marquez
3. Manny Pacqiuao
4. Paul Williams
5. BHOP (Only enters my TOP5 due the performance against Pavlik).

Who thinks i am being biased?
