Hopkins would beat Chad Dawson

[-EX-]

Bernard roughs up, and makes Dawson completely uncomfortable and wins a close decision...

Chad enough trouble with Glen pressuring him...Bernard doesn't stand directly in front of you waiting for you...the lateral movement will give Chad trouble...

I think Bernard's doing Chad a favor by not fighting him...but if Chad wants the fight, make it happen...

Bernard started too late against JT and Calzaghe is a tricky ass dude...

When have you seen someone easily outpoint Hopkins, let alone a guy who drops rounds to tailor made opponents If the fight gets vade bet me all your points, kid will get his soul taken. He beats a shot ass Glenn who was much worse than last year and you are impressed?

I was very impressed with the display of skills, athletic ability, and maturity Dawson showed to not get caught up in Glenn's game and in my view won all but 1 round.....not the best version of Glenn but he came in and performed better than he did in the Judah fight. I am impressed and view Dawson as the #1 LHW in the world.....and you got it if they do fight, I will bet every point i have on Dawson against Hopkins.....just because he has never been easily out pointed doesn't mean it cannot be done....thinking that way is using Horus/*****sexual logic.

neither of those guys ever beat him too the punch or feinted him. taylor got the nod one time because hopkins started late, and the second time for god knows what reason. calzaghe got the nod for throwing more. I don't think you watched those fights.

I take it you haven't seen the early rounds of Taylor-Hopkins 1. Jermaine dominated the early portion with his left jab and staggered Hopkins in the first round. Bernard struggles against boxers who does not fight in one dimsension and is strong enough to push him off in the clinches. It wasn't until late, when Jermaine completely ran out of gas, was when Bernard started to get his best work done.

Also, Calzaghe was able to feint Hopkins on his way in. When you feint Hopkins, it gives him something more to think about. Are you sure I'm the one who didn't watch these fights?

You might be in for a shock.

Calzaghe feinted where exactly, please show the clip? Wtf Taylor staggered Hopkins, wtf, more like hit him on the shoulder while off balance. Staggered is what Hopkins did to Taylor late in the fight, or what Glen Johnson did to Dawson late in their first fight.

You still have to factor in that Bernard gave away almost the entire first half of the fight against JT...

He may try the same against Chad or maybe not...and we don't know if Chad is stronger than Bernard...

Jermain's hands at 160 seem faster to me than Dawson's...

I think Bernard wanted to let the young guy who was probably nervous and tight burn himself out and pour it on him late...but Bernard didn't pass Math class

Bernard will attack the body and take advantage of an already mediocre stamina. In the inside is where Chad is most vulnerable, Chad is lacking in the inside department. I really don't see how Chad could possibly beat Bernard and I would have to disagree with Slicksouthpaw, stylistically Calzaghe is a harder match up for Bernard. Calzaghe doesn't get tired, circles the opponent and his activity is insane, I can't say the same from Chad.

Chad has NO inside game, dude is nice from the outside against straight forward senior citizens, but Hopkins would make him lead catchi his with a straight right left hook, then rush him on the inside work his body clinch him and hit him on the hip.

[-EX-]

As bad as Chad's inside game might be...its nowhere near as bad as Dirrell's

Whenever Froch came inside Dirrell ******ed him to clinch...

That's exactly how I see it. Chad must have a serious death wish calling out Bernard Hopkins.
