Bernard Hopkins should fight Chad Dawson

[Abstraction]

Hop has never ran from any opponent. Why would he run from Dawson all of a sudden?

He is 44, and probably has 1 more bout left in him. Attempting to win a belt in another weight class is the obvious thing for him.

I don't think Hopkins is running away from Dawson.

Avoiding and running are the same to me.

Yeah it's understandable. I mean he's 44 but fought like 24 against a 26 year old. I think a 3rd belt/3rd division is great; but if he does that then he should also go up to heavyweight and fight Vitali. Adamek as a career ending name? Idk about that.

The Ademek that fought Dawson and the dude that fights at 200lbs are two different beasts.

B hop is running away from Dawson. Bhop is the best at fighting guys at the right time. Adamek's time is now. He is 44 and he can fight who he wants but B hop is still an A Hole.

Get a clue...

I have always admired that BHop stays in top shape and is the smartest Boxer. What clue he beat big name fighters that went up in weight to fight him. I'm not a Bhop fan but respect what he has done for the sport. Fans want a Dawson fight not a Adamek fight. If you don't think so your the 1 that needs to get a clue.

The Ademek that fought Dawson and the dude that fights at 200lbs are two different beasts.

this is very true also, even not taking the obvious legacy benefits an Adamek fight brings into consideration

beating Cunningham, Bell & Banks in a year @ 200lbs >>>>> beating a dead Tarver & losing to a very old Johnson @ 175lbs

Well with that said then why is Hopkins going with the easier more beatable Adamek that was beaten up by Dawson? Why not a Young Undefeated Lion on your resume to retire?

Nobody is arguing that. What we are debating is that he should fight Dawson not Adamek.
