Bernard-Dawson is on?Sorry about the delay, my man ; I was eating some BBQ chicken strips and watching some boxing vids on youtube.
Anyway....
I thought about your scenario when you laid it out for me the other day ; it definitely has merit.
If Roy can capture the belt from Green, I say Hopkins' chances of fighting Roy in a farewell fight goes up significantly.
It's not a major title, but as you said ; it is another title in another weight class. And I know Hopkins has thoughts on trying to become a 3 division Champion ; just look at the way he talked about a possible fight with Adamek, and possibly even moving to Heavyweight.
Not to mention that the money would finally be there as well.
As to whether or not he'll do it ; I think that all depends on how he looks against Dawson.
I know I act like a huge nuthugger of his, but I can tell the truth about my boy Hopkins better than most.
And the truth is that aside from Pavlik, he hasn't really looked stellar in his "comeback".
Don't get me wrong, he has his moments, and he's 2-1 since Tarver against some top names.
But the thyroid **** really concerns me.
He looked bad against Winky even though I had him winning by a fair margin.
And gassing out against Calzaghe made it look even worse.
From what I hear ; he has no real treatment for it, and he's just doing his best to combat it with proper diet and exercise.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up in another fight if he keeps on with his career.
Dawson will truly be the test.
If he wins that, and looks good while doing it (which I'm expecting), I see no way he won't fight Roy for that title assuming Roy gets it.
The hardest part for Roy getting it will be Green winning it though, I don't see Roy having much trouble beating Green for it, once it's in Danny's possession.
Green is supposedly fighting some no name that he is heavily favored to win...Comment

I'm starting to respect him more and more myself.
I don't agree with him blaming the Hatton loss on Cortez, or any of the other ludacris stuff he's posted to ease Ricky's losses.
But honestly ; it's great to see a fan who supports his guy even after defeat.
How many guys around here do you know like that?
It's nothing but a bunch of "flavor of the month" cats around here, down to ride when you're undefeated or on the comeback, but they abandon your ass once that 0's gone or your taste defeat again.

I may not like Margarito at all since this whole plaster thing, but I try to give every fighter credit for their strongpoints. And those strongpoints make him the better fighter, in my opinion.
Just my opinion though, there's plenty of other guys around here who know a hell of a lot more than I do about boxing, but I do my best to learn from them through conversation and watch as many fights as I can.
This place is great for that type of stuff, BTW ; welcome to the forums.
