    But as a Top 5 P4Pounder he can do better then Jones. IMO. I think jones CAN win because hes pretty fast still.

    But Id rather see:

    Cloud
    Campillo
    Pascal
    Dawson
    Glen Johnson again would be good too.
    Cunningham would be good
    Even fighting at Heavy
    all those guys would be fun to watch him fight but all of them arent draws, or generate interest besides pascal over in canada. if hopkins was young and these guys were options id wanna see him fight all of them, but the guy is REALLY old man. hes proven himself as an ATG. i just say **** it, let him and jones get it in for old times sake.

      I'll watch the fight I just dont like to see Hops waste a fight basically. He aint getting any younger but I'll watch for sure.

        him vs pascal would be a ****in' barn burner. there styles match up well. that would be a slugfest, guarantee it. especially now since hops dont got the same legs he used to.

          You think the Pascal-Dawson winner gets Hops?

          I actually think we'll be seeing a trilogy of Dawson-Pascal, depending on how hes healed.

            In his words, to stay active all the while charging fans at home $59.99 and charging $750 for ringside seats.

                im not sure, will be interesting though. pascal is a very awkward guy. he has quick feet, fast hands, punches from odd angles and has good pop on his punches. i think hes going to be giving dawson fits sometimes in the fight. he has the power to hurt dawson too. pascal has this sneaky left hook where he gets in close bends down and will wait til you throw something and he will time you with that left hook. i think dawson is going to be playing the aggresor in this fight. he will have his hardest fight since his first fight with johnson. in my opinion.

                  spot on,hopkins still bitter about losing all those years ago

                  he should fight dawson or retire,instead of hanging around like a bad smell

I think they've earned the right to settle this score, and i back 'em. Fcuk the haters, this is a score that they want settled, and i back them both over this fight 100%

                      cant wait for it.
                      this dude is right..
