Who wins at 175lbs HOPKINS OR DAWSON?????

[Spacey1991]

Right now I would probably be tipping Dawson, but Prime vs Prime I would definitely pick Hopkins... no question. However I voted Dawson because the question was for right now.

I agree with you. But I still see people saying how Bernard is just to crafty for Dawson. Most people think he lost to Glen johnson.

Craftiness won't help Hopkins here.

Chad is no Jermain Taylor..he's faster..stonger and SMARTER.

Dawson moves better than anyboy Hops has faced in a LONG while..not to mention the power and speed Chad brings.


The ridiculous excuse Hopkins made for not fighting Chad only proves that he wants no parts of him.

[Deja_Vous]

Hopkins wins. Dawson hasn't done anything that made me say WOW yet.

It's not about you saying wow.

Hopkins doesn't want this fight for a REASON...He'd rather fight the guy that LOST to Dawson..Adamek.

[Deja_Vous]

ok.......Dawson only fights 1 minute per rd; fast but his workrate is not the best

But Chad doesn't slap.

He throws punches to the head and body that Hopkins would have to respect.

[Deja_Vous]

Hopkins owns him.

So why won't he fight Dawson??

His excuse for not doing so is hilarious.

no more than Joe's excuse for not being "Motivated" to give Hopkins a rematch. Ironically being motivated to face mediocre fighters in a poor division for a decade.

Mate, Hopkins is 44. If he is going to face Chad Dawson, he may aswell face Glen Johnson, Tarver etc. all again. Maybe even Taylor.

But it's pointless. He is 44, and probably has only 1 more bout left. Hopkins has never ducked anyone, so why would he "duck" Dawson?

Besides, imo, i would like to see Hopkins-RJJ 2 as a farewell bout. But RJJ has been ducking Hopkins for 15 years, i guess that is not going to happen

I see people still can't figure out the kind of people Hopkins has problems with.

Mobile, athletic fighters with a high-work rate. And Chad Dawson might be the most mobile and dynamic fighter above 168.


Chad Dawson UD. NO ****in' QUESTION!

Smart man, I was gonna say the exact same ****

Calslappy
Roy
JT

All great athletes with good handspeed and workrate

[THE REED]

Chad Dawson no question.
