dawson should fight B-hop

[the_blueprint]

I think Dawson can beat him, I just don't think it's worth it. Hopkins is so crafty and knows all the tricks. Hopkins knows how to make you look bad and I'm not sure if Dawson is ready for that just yet. Hopkins should be fighting Glenn Johnson in IMO, it really shouldn't be about money now for BHop. He needs to step up to the plate, Johnson has been calling him out for a longtime and BHop just ignores him.

yeah that would a good fight but i think b-hop would win

I would rather see Hopkins/Dawson instead of Hopkins/Adamek, i've said that from the start. Now that it looks like Hopkins/Adamek isn't going to happen. Would like to see Hopkins and Dawson fight assuming Dawson gets past Tarver for a second time which i think he will.

If the fight does happen, i would predict a Hopkins win unless he has aged overnight and lost alot of his timing etc but i dout it. But Dawson would be a hard fight for anyone one around his weight class at the moment. He's very talented and skilfull, has speed, a decent defence and picks his shots and great and has nice timing and a good chin and most of all is a hungrey fighter.

The only problem i see, is if Hopkins does beat Dawson with ease, alot of people(boxing fans) would moan that Hopkins has beat another young fighter, and that fighter could lose momentum, and it could effect him mentalliy, and that young fighter will help boxing in the future and continue to carry it big PPVS buys and mainstream. Lou Dibella was talking about this the other day i read somewere, saying how Hopkins is ruining starts of the future etc Pavlik. And that could effect boxing in the future.

It would bother me but i know it would bother alot of people in boxing etc.

hes not overrated, he beat adamek, tarver, and johnson but i didnt watch it so i cant say what you say isnt right

adamek is over rated in a division thats weak. Tarver been losing lately plus hes old, and johnson beat him

[larryx]

haha what was his reason

he said dawson was a young american star and he didnt wanna ruin him which translates to-i dont wanna fight a young black boxer

haha what was his reason

"I don't want to ruin another 26 yr olds' carreer, I could be promoting these guys some where in the future, why would I wanna keep taking their 0's away? that's bad business" the words were not exactly like that but it was somewhat like that.

yeah fair enough but he thinks he could beat him, if he didnt beat him it wouldnt ruin chad its more likely to ruin himself

Tarver hasn't been losing lately, before he got beat up by Dawson he outboxed and outclassed clinton woods. But i see what you mean though.

Hopkins is lying to himself. He came nowhere close to destroying Taylor how is he going to beat Dawson easily. He even says himself when asked about this match..styles make fights.
