Hopkins is ducking CHADDDD...

To re-match Tarver tells me Chads handlers are a little more worried about his chances against Hopkins/Johnson/Calzaghe than some of the board.

Are you kidding? hopkins ducked calzaghe when joe was in his prime,and waited til he was past it before fighting him.

He could pull it off if they were to fight.

40 year old Johnson beat Dawson. Now 26 year old Dawson want to fight 40 year old Tarver again. He's a joke.
..and the inbred americans say 37 year old Calzaghe was young. HAHAHAHA dumb merkins.

Why isn't Dawson a massive star in the US? He's your best fighter under 50 and above welterweight, looks like a PR exec's wet dream and has an unbeaten record with some decent names on it.

Maybe it's because he isn't a c�nt like BHop? Is it because he actually seems to show respect to his opponents? Can anyone explain it to me?

The fight with Hopkins won't happen for the same reason the Calzaghe one didn't - HBO or whoever won't pony up enough. Damn shame really. Although, in a way, it isn't - I'd make him second favourite against either Calzaghe or Hopkins.

Hopkins said he didn't want to fight Dawson because he's a young, undefeated star. *Yet he had no problem fighting Pavlik*

It took a while before Hopkins became a big name. Even now he isn't as big as a shot Delahoya. I wouldn't even call Bernard a star.
