    I think you just have to rough him up, push him with your hip, hit him on the back. It sounds crazy because that's what he does but you kinda just have to out-Hopkins him.

IMO beating Adamek would be much more rewarding and impressive on bhop's resume. To have owned The Ring belts at middlweght, light heavy and cruiser is quite impressive.

      See ********'s response to my email to see why he's running. BHOP is definitely able to pick his fights but he is not looking for the biggest challenge, which I think he should do. I say that beating the man in his division who HAS ALREADY beaten the Cruiserweight champ (that he is now calling out) would win much more respect in the hardcore boxing scene. Also, the Dawson fight would be a much better fight. He can run from Adamek and stink out the place but he would have to be much more aggressive against Dawson. How would Adamek be more impressive being that Dawson already beat him? Doesn't make sense.

        I don't think Dawson's style is good for Hopkins really, we saw how much trouble Hopkins had dealing with the movement and volume of Calzaghe. Adamek's style is a lot easier to figure out, though the difference in strength will probably be sizable.

          Dawson Hopkins would just play out like Hopkins' other recent-ish losses

          Dawson wins on work-rate but looks terrible in the process

              I favour B-Hop to sc**** it but I'm not especially confident

              Be a nice cherry on top for his career if he pulled it off though

                I see him winning too in a little bit of a sleeper. adamek is more versatile than pavlik so I don't see bernard being as aggressive as he was in that fight. Plus, he probably can't hurt adamek. but he can box circles around his big ass and is hard enough to take some shots.
