        And the workrate factor could be smaller than we think because Hopkins had a thyroid problem when he fought Winky and Calzaghe which cleared up before the Pavlik fight, his workrate was much better against Pavlik, part of that was dur to Pavlik's style but I think part of it was due to that thyroid problem clearing up.

        Dawson also doesn't come straight to Hopkins. That's where BHop thrives, where he can use his defensivness and craftiness to off-set and befuddle fighters who really only have one gameplan. To come forward. Chad can fight Hopkins in a variety of ways if his first gameplan isn't working.

        Dawson is going to use angles, be in and out before Hop can adjust, and I believe has a harder shot to throw than Calzaghe. Call it what you will but Calzaghe was close to stopping Hopkins based on activity that doesn't move in a straight line.

        Glen Johnson's pressure gives Chad Dawson more problems than Hopkins craftiness.

          For all we know, we could see a more aggressive Hopkins who would put pressure on Dawson, I know we haven't seen that Hopkins in a while but you never know.

          Or Hopkins could find a way to make Dawson the aggressor, making Dawson make mistakes for Hopkins to capitalize on.

          Hopkins doesn't fight one way either.

            Your right, he doesn't.

            But his best wins are always against the guys who have to set their feet to punch. That's not Chad Dawson. BHOP's best chance is to make it an ugly fight but I still believe Chad outpoints him.

                I like Dawson, but B-Hop is clever you never really know what he might do. He does love that lead right with the ducking action- would be a close fight and I can't really see any1 getting ko'd

                  Best believe Hopkins would find a way to take young Chad apart!

                  Bernard UD, but possibly a close fight.

                    Hopkins wins Dawson has been overhyped, he is still a good fighter, but seriously Hopkins is still a great fighter.
