The Ring: "It's Unseemly Of Chad Dawson To Taunt And Call Out Bernard Hopkins"

[General Zod]

GROW UP DAWSON: "There's something unseemly about Chad Dawson taunting and calling out the 45-year-old Bernard Hopkins. Sure, it gets frustrating when a fighter can't find those big money matchups, but at this stage of his career, Hopkins shouldn't be subjected to the same matchmaking rules as everyone else. The fact that he can fight anyone at all is a miracle."

Ivan Goldman, The Ring Magazine, March 2010

I came across this quote on another forum, funny stuff

It fuckin sucks for Chad that he's practically fought who he has supposed to for the most part and now he can't be champion because Cloud either isn't good enough to beat Glen Johnson or is just flat out scared of him. Hopkins isn't even ranked #2 now from what I understand and Glen Johnson took his place. I don't even like Chad Dawson but if you want to be the man at 175 you've gotta come see him.

War Chad. I can't wait for his fight on 08/14/2010.

I think that Chad is an elite fighter, but he isnt very exciting to watch. Its strange that he considers Hopkins-Dawson to be a big fight, Hiopkins has never been a draw to the best of my knowledge.

Who gives a **** about that? Dawson-Hopkins would be no more boring than Hopkins' fight with Roy Jones. In Hopkins' defense, HBO low balled both Dawson and Hopkins with the money to split down the middle. Like only $3 million to be split between both guys. But that still doesn't excuse Hopkins of fighting Roy Jones. He could've fought Adamek, Cunningham in an all Philly showdown, or maybe even Bute.

pretty good. Great win for chad as Pascal is the WBC champ. he's got a lot of heart, speed, athleticism.

[RimmyDelicious]

That is just Ivan's opinion, but if that is the official Ring Magazine take on it then they need to remove Hopkins from their rankings.

lmao

HBO lost a lot of money with Hopkins-Pavlik, Hopkins is a big name not a draw. I think 3m is a good offer for two guys who arent big draws.

But that still doesn't excuse Hopkins of fighting Roy Jones. He could've fought Adamek, Cunningham in an all Philly showdown, or maybe even Bute.

You and I both know that Hopkins wont go any where near a fighter he considers to be a threat, hence Hopkins-Jones.I would lmao if he loses though.
